CALEA

CALEA (Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act) is a law that requires telecommunications providers to build their networks in a way that allows law enforcement agencies toMonitor and intercept communications, such as phone calls and internet data, when legally authorized. The goal is to facilitate criminal investigations and national security efforts while maintaining privacy rights. Providers must implement technical capabilities that enable lawful surveillance without broadly compromising user privacy, ensuring that law enforcement actions are conducted with proper legal authorization.
