or “List of old New Zealand laws cancelled by the Crimes Act 1961”

This schedule is about something called an ‘interception warrant’. It’s part of the Crimes Act 1961, which is a big set of rules about crimes in New Zealand.
An interception warrant is a special kind of permission that lets people, usually the police, listen in on or record other people’s private conversations. This is only allowed in certain situations, like when they’re trying to solve serious crimes.
However, it’s important to know that this part of the law has been repealed. This means it’s no longer in use or valid. The government decided to remove it from the current version of the Crimes Act 1961.
