No, that's not how investigations work. The police gets some information about some crime (told by the victim, a witness, etc.). Investigates. Then asks the judge "I have a potential crime here, to be sure about it I need to wiretape". The judges gives it or not.

After someone is convicted, there's no use on wiretaping him about something that was already solved.

How simple is it to make someone an alleged criminal, well, that's country specific. Can also be thought on how easy is to have a government receiving data directly from Facebook, or using gag orders, or bombing another country without proofs of any wrongdoing.
