Yes, even ordinary cops can do that I’ve done myself, I just fax the search warrant to your phone company, and they send me everything.
They will even freeze all of your records at my request while I’m in the process of getting that search warrant so that nothing will be lost in the meantime.
I can send similar search warrants to Facebook or Shapchat or any other company running a messaging service.

I’m definitely not FBI or CIA or anything super secret and special. I’m just an ordinary cop.
It would take a special kind of court order and someone with more expertise than me to track your messages in real time for some extended duration. When I get a search warrant, it is for a specific date range in the past.
CIA isn’t worried about search warrants because they generally aren’t interested in bringing criminal charges in a court of law.
As a general rule, they kick domestic criminal cases over to the FBI, and then the FBI worries about search warrants, etc. to make a proper criminal case.
According to Snowden and Wikileaks, the NSA is storing pretty much every single digital communication in real time, including your text messages.
The NSA says they don’t actually single out your data and look at it without a really good reason.
That’s what they say, not what I say. I have no clue what they do or what it takes for the CIA or FBI to get their hands on those records.
I just know what I read in the news, the same as you.
I do know that as an ordinary cop I don’t have access to your phone records which are stored by the NSA.
