Pigs.

Gentile and his team at the firm Gordon Silver contend that law enforcement agencies are actually using a police technique called a “handoff” to keep wiretaps secret, Gentile said.

An officer listening to a wiretap will insulate himself by telling another officer he received a tip. The tip could be that if another officer pulls over a certain car with a certain license plate, driven by a certain person at a certain time, 20 pounds of drugs will be found, Gentile explained. The arresting officer will write in his report that he got a tip from another officer. When that information is turned over to a defense lawyer in pre-trail discovery, there will be no mention of a wiretap.
