(2) A surveillance device warrant authorises: (a) for a warrant of a kind referred to in subsection (1) (a): (i) the installation, use and maintenance of a surveillance device of the kind specified in the warrant on or in the specified premises or vehicle, and (ii) the entry, by force if necessary, onto or into the premises or vehicle, or other specified premises adjoining or providing access to the premises or the vehicle, for any of the purposes referred to in subparagraph (i) or subsection (3), and (b) for a warrant of a kind referred to in subsection (1) (b): (i) the installation, use and maintenance of a surveillance device of the kind specified in the warrant in or on the specified object or an object of the specified class, and (ii) the entry, by force if necessary, onto or into any premises or vehicle where the object, or an object of the specified class, is reasonably believed to be or is likely to be, or other premises adjoining or providing access to those premises or the vehicle, for any of the purposes referred to in subparagraph (i) or subsection (3), and (c) for a warrant of a kind referred to in subsection (1) (c): (i) the installation, use and maintenance of a surveillance device of the kind specified in the warrant, on or in premises or a vehicle where the person is reasonably believed to be or likely to be in the future, and (ii) the entry, by force if necessary, onto or into the premises or vehicle

13 referred to in subparagraph (i), or other premises adjoining or providing access to those premises or the vehicle, for any of the purposes referred to in subparagraph (i) or subsection (3), and (d) for a warrant of a kind referred to in subsection (1) (d)--the use of the surveillance device of the kind specified in the warrant on or about the body of the person specified in the warrant. (3) Each warrant also authorises: (a) the retrieval of the surveillance device, and (b) the installation, use, maintenance and retrieval of any enhancement equipment in relation to the surveillance device, and (c) the use of an assumed identity for the purpose of the installation, use, maintenance or retrieval of the surveillance device or enhancement equipment, and (d) the disconnection of, or otherwise making inoperative, any security system for the purpose of the installation, maintenance or retrieval of the surveillance device or enhancement equipment, and (e) the temporary removal of an object or vehicle from premises for the purpose of the installation, maintenance or retrieval of the surveillance device or enhancement equipment and the return of the object or vehicle to the premises, and (f) the breaking open of anything for the purpose of the installation, maintenance or retrieval of the surveillance device or enhancement equipment, and (g) the connection of the device or enhancement equipment to an electricity supply system and the use of electricity from that system to operate the surveillance device or enhancement equipment, and (h) the connection of the device or equipment to a telecommunications system or network and the use of that system or network in connection with the operation of the surveillance device or enhancement equipment, and (i) the provision of assistance or technical expertise to the law enforcement officer named in the warrant in the installation, use, maintenance or retrieval of the surveillance device or enhancement equipment under the warrant. (4) If a surveillance device remains on or in premises or a vehicle after the expiry of the surveillance device warrant authorising its installation, use and maintenance, the warrant is taken also to authorise, for the period of 10 days after that expiry, any action to be taken in respect of the retrieval of the device that would be authorised if the surveillance device warrant were a retrieval warrant. Section 29 specifies the action that is authorised to be taken by a retrieval warrant. If a surveillance device remains on or in premises or vehicle for more than 10 days after its expiry, a retrieval warrant must be obtained under Division 3 to authorise retrieval of the device and any enhancement equipment in relation to it. (5) A surveillance device warrant may authorise the doing of anything reasonably necessary to conceal the fact that anything has been done in relation to the installation, use, maintenance or retrieval of a surveillance device or enhancement equipment under the warrant. (6) A law enforcement officer may use a surveillance device under a warrant only if he or she is acting in the performance of his or her duty. (7) This section applies to a warrant subject to any conditions specified in the warrant. (8) Nothing in this section authorises the doing of anything for which a warrant would be required under the Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 of the Commonwealth. 22 Extension and variation of surveillance device warrant (1) A law enforcement officer to whom a surveillance device warrant has been issued (or another person on his or her behalf) may apply, at any time before expiry of the warrant:

14 (a) for an extension of the warrant for a period not exceeding 90 days from the day on which it would otherwise expire, or (b) for a variation of any of the other terms of the warrant. (2) The application is to be made to: (a) an eligible Judge, if the warrant was issued by an eligible Judge, or (b) an eligible Magistrate, if the warrant was issued by an eligible Magistrate. (3) Sections 17 and 18 apply, with any necessary changes, to an application under this section as if it were an application for a warrant. (4) The eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate may grant an application, subject to any conditions he or she thinks fit, if satisfied that the matters referred to in section 19 (1) still exist, having regard to the matters in section 19 (2). (5) An eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate who grants an application must endorse the new expiry date or the other varied term on the original warrant. (6) An application in respect of a warrant may be made under this section more than once. 23 Revocation of surveillance device warrant (1) A surveillance device warrant may be revoked at any time before the expiration of the period of validity specified in it by: (a) an eligible Judge, if an eligible Judge issued the warrant, or (b) an eligible Magistrate, if an eligible Magistrate issued the warrant. (2) An eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate may revoke a surveillance device warrant on application by or on behalf of a law enforcement officer. (3) The eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate who revokes a warrant on the application of a law enforcement officer is taken to have notified the chief officer of the law enforcement agency of which the law enforcement officer to whom the warrant was issued is a member when the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate revokes the warrant. 24 Discontinuance of use of surveillance device under warrant (1) This section applies if a surveillance device warrant is issued to a law enforcement officer. (2) If the chief officer of the law enforcement agency of which the law enforcement officer concerned is a member is satisfied that the use of a surveillance device under the warrant is no longer necessary for the purpose of enabling evidence to be obtained of the commission of the relevant offence or the identity or location of the offender, the chief officer must: (a) take the steps necessary to ensure that use of the surveillance device authorised by the warrant is discontinued as soon as practicable, and (b) cause an application to be made for the revocation of the warrant under section 23. (3) If the chief officer is notified that the warrant has been revoked under section 23, he or she must take the steps necessary to ensure that use of the surveillance device authorised by the warrant is discontinued immediately. (4) If the law enforcement officer to whom the warrant is issued, or who is primarily responsible for executing the warrant, believes that the use of a surveillance device under the warrant is no longer necessary for the purpose of enabling evidence to be obtained of the commission of the relevant offence or the identity or location of the offender, he or she must inform the chief officer of the law enforcement agency immediately. Division 3 Retrieval warrants 25 Application for a retrieval warrant (1) A law enforcement officer (or another person on his or her behalf) may apply for the issue of a retrieval warrant in respect of a surveillance device that was lawfully installed on premises, or in or on a vehicle or other object, under a surveillance device warrant and which the law enforcement officer on reasonable grounds suspects or believes is still on

15 those premises or in or on that vehicle or object, or on other premises or in or on another vehicle or other object. (2) The application may be made to: (a) an eligible Judge in any case, or (b) an eligible Magistrate in the case of an application for a retrieval warrant authorising the retrieval of a tracking device only. (3) Subject to this section, an application must be supported by an affidavit setting out the grounds on which the warrant is sought. (4) If a law enforcement officer believes that: (a) the immediate retrieval of a surveillance device is necessary, and (b) it is impracticable for an affidavit to be prepared or sworn before an application for a warrant is made, an application for a warrant may be made before an affidavit is prepared or sworn. (5) If subsection (4) applies, the applicant must: (a) provide as much information as the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate considers is reasonably practicable in the circumstances, and (b) not later than 72 hours following the making of the application, send a duly sworn affidavit to the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate who determined the application, whether or not a warrant has been issued. (6) An application for a retrieval warrant is not to be heard in open court. 26 Remote application (1) If a law enforcement officer believes that it is impracticable for an application for a retrieval warrant to be made in person, the application may be made under section 25 by telephone, fax, or any other means of communication. (2) If transmission by fax is available and an affidavit has been prepared, the person applying must transmit a copy of the affidavit, whether sworn or unsworn, to the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate who is to determine the application. 27 Determining the application (1) An eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate may issue a retrieval warrant if the Judge or Magistrate is satisfied: (a) that there are reasonable grounds for the suspicion or belief founding the application for the warrant, and (b) in the case of an unsworn application--that it would be impracticable for an affidavit to have been sworn before the application was made, and (c) in the case of a remote application--that it would have been impracticable for the application to have been made in person. (2) In determining whether a retrieval warrant should be issued, the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate must have regard to: (a) the extent to which the privacy of any person is likely to be affected, and (b) the public interest in retrieving the device sought to be retrieved. 28 What must a retrieval warrant contain? (1) A retrieval warrant must: (a) state that the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate is satisfied of the matters referred to in section 27 (1) and has had regard to the matters referred to in section 27 (2), and (b) specify: (i) the name of the applicant, and (ii) the date the warrant is issued, and (iii) the kind of surveillance device authorised to be retrieved, and (iv) the premises or vehicle or other object from which the surveillance device is to be retrieved, and (v) the period (not exceeding 90 days) during which the warrant is in

16 force, and (vi) the name of the law enforcement officer to whom the warrant is issued, or who is primarily responsible for executing the warrant, and (vii) the conditions subject to which premises or a vehicle may be entered under the warrant. (2) A warrant must be signed by the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate issuing it and include his or her name. (3) If the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate issues a warrant on a remote application: (a) the Judge or Magistrate must inform the applicant of: (i) the terms of the warrant, and (ii) the date on which and the time at which the warrant was issued, and cause those details to be entered in a register kept by the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate for that purpose, and (b) the eligible Judge or eligible Magistrate must provide the applicant with a copy of the warrant as soon as practicable. 29 What a retrieval warrant authorises (1) A retrieval warrant (subject to any conditions specified in it) authorises: (a) the retrieval of the surveillance device specified in the warrant and any enhancement equipment in relation to the device, and (b) the entry, by force if necessary, onto or into the premises or vehicle where the surveillance device is reasonably believed to be, or other premises adjoining or providing access to those premises or the vehicle, for the purpose of retrieving the device and equipment, and (c) the use of an assumed identity for the purpose of retrieval of the device and equipment, and (d) the disconnection of, or otherwise making inoperative, any security system for the purpose of retrieving the device or equipment, and (e) the temporary removal of an object or vehicle from premises for the purpose of retrieving the device or equipment and the return of the object or vehicle to the premises, and (f) the breaking open of any thing for the purpose of the retrieval of the device and equipment, and (g) if the device or equipment is installed on or in an object, the temporary removal of the object from any place where it is situated for the purpose of the retrieval of the device and equipment and the return of the object to that place, and (h) the provision of assistance or technical expertise to the law enforcement officer named in the warrant in the retrieval of the device or equipment. (2) The warrant also authorises the use of the surveillance device and any enhancement equipment in relation to the device solely for the purposes of the location and retrieval of the device or equipment. (3) Any information obtained from the use of a surveillance device and any enhancement equipment for the purposes of the location and retrieval of the device or equipment under subsection (2) must not be used, communicated or published for any other purpose and is inadmissible as evidence in any legal proceedings. (4) A retrieval warrant may authorise the doing of anything reasonably necessary to conceal the fact that anything has been done in relation to the retrieval of a surveillance device or enhancement equipment under the warrant. 30 Revocation of retrieval warrant (1) A retrieval warrant may be revoked at any time before the expiration of the period of validity specified in it by: (a) an eligible Judge, if an eligible Judge issued the warrant, or
