Illustration for Search and Surveillance Act 2012

You need to know some rules about surveillance device warrants. When a Judge issues a surveillance device warrant, some other rules apply. These rules are explained in section 105 and section 107. You can think of these rules as if they were talking about surveillance device warrants instead of search warrants. For example, when section 107 talks about the grounds for a search warrant, it is really talking about the conditions in section 51. These rules help you understand how surveillance device warrants work.
