I love these two parts:

> Also, the judge must specify a single phone number or single e-mail account and the decision must be reviewed every 15 days, otherwise it expires. Also, there's a national database of wiretaps that every judge must feed by the end of the month, specifying how many wiretaps there are currently running.

Great way to apply natural negative pressure on continuing wiretap operations. It's not impossible to have a wiretap span a long period of time, but it will create work for the judge and (possibly?) the officers, so in general it will hopefully only happen when it's actually useful. Kudos.

Nothing there that can't be automated with a simple shell script.

Not saying the oversight system in Brazil is unreasonable, but you can't rely on the natural disincentives alone.

At that level, I would actually guess that it's more likely that an assistant would prepare the documents to be rubber stamped. It's not perfect, but at least something has to be done.

Yeah we know that but for some reasons most jobs don't automate anything. Certainly not a POST request or filling an excel sheet line.
