If you scan your local newspapers, you may have come across a rather
unusual story.

It seems that a woman in Rhode Island happened to tune her AM radio up a
little too high and came across a cordless telephone conversation of a
drug dealing ring.  She reported it to the police, who began listening
themselves for a period of 6 weeks.  After taping something like 100
hours of incriminating conversations (no warrant was necessary) they
just busted the whole bunch.

The moral should be obvious.
