subject: Wiretap Legal Transcription [print this page] A wiretap is a concealed recording or listening device linked to a communications circuit that enables clandestine monitoring and collection of the actual content of VOIP, mobile or telephonic conversations by a third party. Legal transcription of such collected content is invaluable to be used as evidence in court against law breakers. Attorneys, law firms and police departments greatly benefit from this service.
Wiretap transcripts were an important part of the evidence against multiple persons involved in the Luzerne Kids-for-Cash scandal, one of the biggest judicial corruption scandals. In January 2011, recordings pertaining to Silvio Berlusconis notorious sex scandals were submitted to Parliament. It just goes to show how responsible the work of transcriptionists associated with this area is and how accuracy cannot be compromised at any cost.
