58: Other provisions that apply to surveillance device warrants

You could also call this:

"Rules that also apply when police use a surveillance device warrant"

When you are given a surveillance device warrant, some other rules apply to it. These rules are found in section 105 and section 107. These sections talk about things like sending search warrants and when a search warrant is not valid.

You need to think of these rules as if they were written specifically for surveillance device warrants. This means that when the rules mention a warrant or search warrant, they are actually talking about a surveillance device warrant. It also means that when the rules mention an issuing officer, they are actually talking about the Judge who issued the surveillance device warrant.
