don't you give up a right to privacy when you are talking about and convicted of a crime using those tapes? I mean why do you have a right to privacy about a crime if we all know already you did it and were sent to jail for it. Yet hearing their voices talk about it would be to tough on them? I could see if they were still alive and crucial info like family members names or info on them was on the tapes and people could harm them if they were to hear what was said. but otherwise wtf.

Not good having your house bugged man, when I lived with my dad, his house was bugged.. used to say good morning to the police and goodnight when he went to bed haha. Looked like he was talking to himself ok you can't just say that and not share the story of who what where and why man  I mean c'mon lets be honest here. Your dad's story sounds a litte more interesting than just that info

I noticed you are Australian and mentioned something about your dad being involved with drugs a long time ago. Are you familiar with David McMillan? He has been away from Australia for a long time but I was wondering if he is a big name in Australia. If you don't mind me asking. Wasn't Mcmillan like a mule or some shit? Nah dad never hung around with that dude (that I know of) he used to hang around the knockarounds blokes (bikies) rarely saw him without his patch on haha

Wiretaps,whether Federal or State, fall under Title III regulations. Generally speaking,if the tapes are part of a court record,they are public documents and can be released.
Having said that,there are still circumstances under which recordings can be withheld from public release. The problem is that so far,when petitions were made to courts for release of certain tapes,the highest level at which decisions were made was at the US District Court,and Circuit Appeals Court level.
Since the US Supreme Court has never consented to hear an Appellate case concerning public "right to know" on such tapes,what you have is the last ruling by whichever Circuit Court issued it being the accepted standard.
So in a nutshell,the public release of tapes can vary from Circuit to Circuit, each one being independent of the other. Until such time as the Supreme Court agrees to hear a case and decide on the Constitutionality of such tape releases,there will be no standard procedure on a national basis.
Right now,the only option is to file an FOIA request, and if you are turned down, take your chances on whichever jurisdiction will hear the the Appeal.
