312I: Destruction of irrelevant records made by use of interception device
or “ Explains how to get rid of unimportant records made by listening devices ”
You could also call this:

“Explains when and how to get rid of recordings made using special listening tools”

This law about destroying records made by using interception devices has been removed. You don’t need to follow it anymore because it’s not part of the rules now. The government took it out of the Crimes Act 1961 on 18 April 2012. If you want to know more about why this happened, you can look at the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.
