90: Training warrant

You could also call this:

"Special permission for spy agencies to train staff by doing things that are normally against the law"

Illustration for Intelligence and Security Act 2017

A training warrant lets an intelligence and security agency do something that would normally be against the law. This is so they can train their employees to do their job properly. You need to know that the activity must be necessary for the employees to learn how to perform the agency's statutory functions, which means the tasks they are legally allowed to do.
