Is this the base thought of NWO police state?

Illegal wire taps are used for non terrorist crimes and potentialy abused

When I first read the above I thought the only way they caught a few arabs buying bulk phones to send overseas were via wiretap. However never stated how the investagation found them I can only speculate. Does it not seem obvious. Well as the conclusion came weather or not they are breaking the law, they are NOT terrorists and would of not been arrested and shown all over headlines unless tapped illegaly?

And a tad of proof to my speculation is the below link listing a Detroit fed judge ordering halt to this overseas calling wiretaps.

Surveillance is but one aspect of the NWO. They also have many other tools, like private coorporations such as Kroll who gather loads of background information on people.
