Obtaining evidence by interception devices - Applications for interception warrants in relation to organised criminal enterprises

312B: Application by Police for warrant to intercept private communications

You could also call this:

“The police can ask for permission to listen to people's private talks if they think it will help catch bad guys working together.”

This section of the law has been removed. It used to be about how the Police could apply for permission to listen in on private conversations when investigating organised crime. However, on 18 April 2012, this part of the law was taken out. If you want to know more about how the Police can now get permission to listen to private conversations, you would need to look at a different law called the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.
