Crimes Act 1961

Obtaining evidence by interception devices - Applications for interception warrants in relation to serious violent offences

312CB: Matters on which Judge must be satisfied in respect of applications relating to serious violent offences

You could also call this:

“The judge must check certain things before allowing police to spy on people suspected of very bad crimes.”

This part of the law used to say what a judge needed to be sure about when deciding on requests for interception warrants for serious violent crimes. However, this section is no longer in use. It was removed on 18 April 2012 by another law called the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. If you want to know more about what replaced this section, you can look at section 325(9) of that Act.
