Fundamentos para la Entrada de Órdenes de Intercepción

Explicación Simple

Ejemplo Práctico

Imagina que la policía sospecha que Juan está vendiendo drogas. Ellos intentan hablar con él y seguirlo, pero no logran obtener pruebas. Entonces, piden a un juez que les permita escuchar sus llamadas porque creen que eso les ayudará a detenerlo.
