Indiana § 35-33.5-4-1

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 33.5: INTERCEPTION OF TELEPHONIC OR
• Ch. 4: Procedures Regarding Intercepted Communications

Text

(a) A court may not authorize interception
under a warrant or an extension for a period longer than is necessary to
achieve the objective of the warrant or extension. Except as provided
in subsection (d), a warrant and each extension may authorize
interception for not more than thirty (30) days. A court that issues a
warrant or an extension shall order that the authorized interception
must:
(1) occur within ten (10) days after the court issues the warrant or
extension;
(2) be conducted in a manner that minimizes the interception of
a communication that is clearly irrelevant to the investigation of
a designated offense; and
(3) terminate upon completion of the authorized objective or
within thirty (30) days after the interception begins, whichever
occurs first.
(b) A court may grant not more than three (3) extensions.
(c) A warrant or an extension may direct that a person immediately
furnish an applicant all information, facilities, and technical assistance
within that person's control necessary to accomplish the interception
with a minimum of interference with the services that the person is
furnishing to the person whose communication is to be intercepted. The
applicant shall compensate a person furnishing facilities or technical
assistance to the applicant at the prevailing rates.
(d) A warrant issued under IC 35-33.5-2-3.5 expires after
twenty-four (24) hours, unless:
(1) the court that issued the warrant established a shorter period
of expiration; or
(2) the warrant is extended in accordance with section 2 of this
chapter.
A warrant extended in accordance with section 2 of this chapter expires
as described in subsection (a).
