Crimes Act 1961

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

312CC: Application by Police for warrant to intercept private communications relating to terrorist offences

You could also call this:

“Police can ask for permission to listen in on private talks about terrorism.”

This part of the law used to talk about how the Police could ask for permission to listen in on private conversations related to terrorist crimes. However, this section no longer exists in the law. It was removed on 18 April 2012 by another law called the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. If you want to know more about why this change happened, you might need to look at section 325(9) of that Act.
