I'm under the impression that legally, you need a warrant to tap someone's phone. Is it also true that you need a warrant to survey someone's internet activities (read email/instant message conversations, look at web history), or to physically survey them as in police watching your house from an unmarked van?

If you need warrants for internet surveillance and physically watching/following someone, then what are the standards of evidence? Do you need more evidence to wire-tap someone than you do to read their emails? What about actually following them in a vehicle?
