My understanding of the eavesdropping on attorney-client communication is that it is only done when there is suspicion that the attorney and client are conspiring to commit a crime, and that there are additional safeguards used, e.g., that the attorney and client are notified in writing that they will be under surveillance, and that the persons who are eavesdropping will not provide the information to the prosecutor assigned to that case. Certainly it is troubling, but so is the thought that an attorney might conspire with a client to commit crimes. No communication is absolutely privileged. All privileges are conditional on their not being used to further criminal activity.
