"Is it permissible for the police or any other body to trace your e-mails? Tel Aviv District Court Judge Khaled Kabub ruled yesterday that copying of electronic mail for purposes of surveillance constitutes illegal wiretapping. This means that any time the police force wishes to conduct surveillance of e-mail, it will be required to obtain special authorisation from a District Court president."
