The police can listen in anyway... In fact, so can anyone. And it's much easier for the police to listen in now, than it will be after Clipper.

The police can listen in LEGALLY anyway. However, illegal monitoring, which they are used to being able to do, is becoming increasingly difficult. Illegal monitoring increasingly requires the active cooperation of phone company employees who may talk. Clipper, combined with the FBI Digital Telephony bill, would eliminate this difficulty, and in fact provide monitoring abilities to the police that they never had before. Perry
