Disclaimer: I haven't been following this scandal at all.

Can someone give me a quick breakdown on how what they're doing is different from, say, in a crime drama when they tell the suspect, "we checked your phone records, and you called the victim three times in the hour before they died." Is the only difference that they needed a warrant for that information in NYPD Blue, and now they don't?
