complaint with the police, and have to do same with the phone company. Then, the FUN part: the PD and the phone co have to both work together to put a tap on the line, and THEN you have to record the day and time of the suspect calls to within one minute (if watches aren't synchronized the endeavor will fail) and a certain percent of the suspect calls have to match up with THE SUSPECT PHONE NUMBER YOU GAVE the PD and phone co. You have to aleady know the suspect phone number!!!!!!!!!!

I know this because I attempted to do it several years ago, and it all came to naught. The LAPD would not cooperate sufficiently with the phone co after the calls got traced. It was a fiasco.
