General, Criminal Law Division, or of a district attorney, or the
person designated to act as district attorney in the district
attorney's absence, to the presiding judge of the superior court or
one other judge designated by the presiding judge. An ordered list of
additional judges may be authorized by the presiding judge to sign
an order authorizing an interception. One of these judges may hear an
application and sign an order only if that judge makes a
determination that the presiding judge, the first designated judge,
and those judges higher on the list are unavailable. Each application
shall include all of the following information:
   (1) The identity of the investigative or law enforcement officer
making the application, and the officer authorizing the application.
   (2) The identity of the law enforcement agency that is to execute
the order.
   (3) A statement attesting to a review of the application and the
circumstances in support thereof by the chief executive officer, or
his or her designee, of the law enforcement agency making the
application. This statement shall name the chief executive officer or
the designee who effected this review.
   (4) A full and complete statement of the facts and circumstances
relied upon by the applicant to justify his or her belief that an
order should be issued, including (A) details as to the particular
offense that has been, is being, or is about to be committed, (B) the
fact that conventional investigative techniques had been tried and
were unsuccessful, or why they reasonably appear to be unlikely to
succeed or to be too dangerous, (C) a particular description of the
nature and location of the facilities from which or the place where
the communication is to be intercepted, (D) a particular description
of the type of communication sought to be intercepted, and (E) the
identity, if known, of the person committing the offense and whose
communications are to be intercepted, or if that person's identity is
not known, then the information relating to the person's identity
that is known to the applicant.
   (5) A statement of the period of time for which the interception
is required to be maintained, and if the nature of the investigation
is such that the authorization for interception should not
automatically terminate when the described type of communication has
been first obtained, a particular description of the facts
establishing probable cause to believe that additional communications
of the same type will occur thereafter.
   (6) A full and complete statement of the facts concerning all
previous applications known, to the individual authorizing and to the
individual making the application, to have been made to any judge of
a state or federal court for authorization to intercept wire or
electronic communications involving any of the same persons,
facilities, or places specified in the application, and the action
taken by the judge on each of those applications. This requirement
may be satisfied by making inquiry of the California Attorney General
and the United States Department of Justice and reporting the
results of these inquiries in the application.
   (7) If the application is for the extension of an order, a
statement setting forth the number of communications intercepted
pursuant to the original order, and the results thus far obtained
from the interception, or a reasonable explanation of the failure to
obtain results.
   (8) An application for modification of an order may be made when
there is probable cause to believe that the person or persons
identified in the original order have commenced to use a facility or
device that is not subject to the original order. Any modification
under this subdivision shall only be valid for the period authorized
under the order being modified. The application for modification
shall meet all of the requirements in paragraphs (1) to (6),
inclusive, and shall include a statement of the results thus far
obtained from the interception, or a reasonable explanation for the
failure to obtain results.
   (b) The judge may require the applicant to furnish additional
testimony or documentary evidence in support of an application for an
order under this section.
   (c) The judge shall accept a facsimile copy of the signature of
any person required to give a personal oath or affirmation pursuant
to subdivision (a) as an original signature to the application. The
original signed document shall be sealed and kept with the
application pursuant to the provisions of Section 629.66 and custody
of the original signed document shall be in the same manner as the
judge orders for the application.

or electronic communications.



629.54.  Each order authorizing the interception of any wire or
electronic communication shall specify all of the following:
   (a) The identity, if known, of the person whose communications are
to be intercepted, or if the identity is not known, then that

Criminal Law Division, or a district attorney, or the person
designated to act as district attorney in the district attorney's
absence, the presiding judge of the superior court or the first
available judge designated as provided in Section 629.50 may grant
oral approval for an interception, without an order, if he or she
determines all of the following:
   (1) There are grounds upon which an order could be issued under
this chapter.
   (2) There is probable cause to believe that an emergency situation
exists with respect to the investigation of an offense enumerated in
this chapter.
   (3) There is probable cause to believe that a substantial danger
to life or limb exists justifying the authorization for immediate
interception of a private wire or electronic communication before an
application for an order could with due diligence be submitted and
acted upon.
   (b) Approval for an interception under this section shall be
conditioned upon filing with the judge, by midnight of the second
full court day after the oral approval, a written application for an
order which, if granted consistent with this chapter, shall also
recite the oral approval under this subdivision and be retroactive to
the time of the oral approval.



629.58.  No order entered under this chapter shall authorize the
interception of any wire or electronic communication for any period
longer than is necessary to achieve the objective of the
authorization, nor in any event longer than 30 days, commencing on
the day of the initial interception, or 10 days after the issuance of
the order, whichever comes first. Extensions of an order may be
granted, but only upon application for an extension made in
accordance with Section 629.50 and upon the court making findings
required by Section 629.52. The period of extension shall be no
longer than the authorizing judge deems necessary to achieve the
purposes for which it was granted and in no event any longer than 30
days. Every order and extension thereof shall contain a provision
that the authorization to intercept shall be executed as soon as
practicable, shall be conducted so as to minimize the interception of
communications not otherwise subject to interception under this
chapter, and shall terminate upon attainment of the authorized
objective, or in any event at the time expiration of the term
designated in the order or any extensions. In the event the
intercepted communication is in a foreign language, an interpreter of
that foreign language may assist peace officers in executing the
authorization provided in this chapter, provided that the interpreter
has the same training as any other intercepter authorized under this
chapter and provided that the interception shall be conducted so as
to minimize the interception of communications not otherwise subject
to interception under this chapter.



629.60.  Whenever an order authorizing an interception is entered,
the order shall require reports in writing or otherwise to be made to
the judge who issued the order showing the number of communications
intercepted pursuant to the original order, and a statement setting
forth what progress has been made toward achievement of the
authorized objective, or a satisfactory explanation for its lack, and
the need for continued interception. If the judge finds that
progress has not been made, that the explanation for its lack is not
satisfactory, or that no need exists for continued interception, he
or she shall order that the interception immediately terminate. The
reports shall be filed with the court at the intervals that the judge
may require, but not less than one for each period of 10 days,
commencing with the date of the signing of the order, and shall be
made by any reasonable and reliable means, as determined by the
judge.


629.61.  (a) Whenever an order authorizing an interception is
entered, the order shall require a report in writing or otherwise to
be made to the Attorney General showing what persons, facilities,
places, or any combination of these are to be intercepted pursuant to
the application, and the action taken by the judge on each of those
applications. The report shall be made at the interval that the order
may require, but not more than 10 days after the order was issued,
and shall be made by any reasonable and reliable means, as determined
by the Attorney General.
   (b) The Attorney General may issue regulations prescribing the
collection and dissemination of information collected pursuant to
this chapter.
   (c) The Attorney General shall, upon the request of an individual
making an application for an interception order pursuant to this
chapter, provide any information known as a result of these reporting
requirements and in compliance with paragraph (6) of subdivision (a)
of Section 629.50.



629.62.  (a) The Attorney General shall prepare and submit an annual
report to the Legislature, the Judicial Council, and the Director of
the Administrative Office of the United States Court on
interceptions conducted under the authority of this chapter during
the preceding year. Information for this report shall be provided to
the Attorney General by any prosecutorial agency seeking an order

   (b) The report shall include all of the following data:
   (1) The number of orders or extensions applied for.
   (2) The kinds of orders or extensions applied for.
   (3) The fact that the order or extension was granted as applied
for, was modified, or was denied.
   (4) The number of wire or electronic communication devices that

   (9) A general description of the interceptions made under the
order or extension, including (A) the approximate nature and
frequency of incriminating communications intercepted, (B) the
approximate nature and frequency of other communications intercepted,
(C) the approximate number of persons whose communications were
intercepted, and (D) the approximate nature, amount, and cost of the
manpower and other resources used in the interceptions.
   (10) The number of arrests resulting from interceptions made under

   (14) Except with regard to the initial report required by this
section, the information required by paragraphs (9) to (13),
inclusive, with respect to orders or extensions obtained in a
preceding calendar year.
   (15) The date of the order for service of inventory made pursuant
to Section 629.68, confirmation of compliance with the order, and the

pursuant to subdivision (b). The Attorney General may issue
regulations prescribing the content and form of the reports required
to be filed pursuant to this section by any prosecutorial agency
seeking an order to intercept wire or electronic communications.
   (d) The Attorney General shall, upon the request of an individual
making an application, provide any information known to him or her as
a result of these reporting requirements that would enable the
individual making an application to comply with paragraph (6) of
subdivision (a) of Section 629.50.



629.64.  The contents of any wire or electronic communication
intercepted by any means authorized by this chapter shall, if
possible, be recorded on any recording media. The recording of the
contents of any wire or electronic communication pursuant to this
chapter shall be done in a way that will protect the recording from
editing or other alterations and ensure that the recording can be
immediately verified as to its authenticity and originality and that
any alteration can be immediately detected. In addition, the
monitoring or recording device shall be of a type and shall be
installed to preclude any interruption or monitoring of the
interception by any unauthorized means. Immediately upon the
expiration of the period of the order, or extensions thereof, the
recordings shall be made available to the judge issuing the order and
sealed under his or her directions. Custody of the recordings shall
be where the judge orders. They shall not be destroyed except upon an
order of the issuing or denying judge and in any event shall be kept
for 10 years. Duplicate recordings may be made for use or disclosure
pursuant to the provisions of Sections 629.74 and 629.76 for
investigations. The presence of the seal provided for by this
section, or a satisfactory explanation for the absence thereof, shall
be a prerequisite for the use or disclosure of the contents of any
wire or electronic communication or evidence derived therefrom under
Section 629.78.



629.66.  Applications made and orders granted pursuant to this
chapter shall be sealed by the judge. Custody of the applications and
orders shall be where the judge orders. The applications and orders
shall be disclosed only upon a showing of good cause before a judge

Section 629.70 and shall not be destroyed except on order of the
issuing or denying judge, and in any event shall be kept for 10
years.


629.68.  Within a reasonable time, but no later than 90 days, after
the termination of the period of an order or extensions thereof, or
after the filing of an application for an order of approval under
Section 629.56 which has been denied, the issuing judge shall issue
an order that shall require the requesting agency to serve upon
persons named in the order or the application, and other known
parties to intercepted communications, an inventory which shall
include notice of all of the following:
   (a) The fact of the entry of the order.
   (b) The date of the entry and the period of authorized
interception.
   (c) The fact that during the period wire or electronic
communications were or were not intercepted.
   The judge, upon filing of a motion, may, in his or her discretion,
make available to the person or his or her counsel for inspection
the portions of the intercepted communications, applications, and
orders that the judge determines to be in the interest of justice. On
an ex parte showing of good cause to a judge, the serving of the
inventory required by this section may be postponed. The period of
postponement shall be no longer than the authorizing judge deems
necessary to achieve the purposes for which it was granted.



629.70.  (a) A defendant shall be notified that he or she was
identified as the result of an interception that was obtained
pursuant to this chapter. The notice shall be provided prior to the
entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere, or at least 10 days
prior to any trial, hearing, or proceeding in the case other than an
arraignment or grand jury proceeding.
   (b) Within the time period specified in subdivision (c), the
prosecution shall provide to the defendant a copy of all recorded
interceptions from which evidence against the defendant was derived,
including a copy of the court order, accompanying application, and
monitoring logs.
   (c) Neither the contents of any intercepted wire or electronic
communication nor evidence derived from those contents shall be
received in evidence or otherwise disclosed in any trial, hearing, or
other proceeding, except a grand jury proceeding, unless each party,
not less than 10 days before the trial, hearing, or proceeding, has
been furnished with a transcript of the contents of the interception
and with the materials specified in subdivision (b). This 10-day
period may be waived by the judge with regard to the transcript if he
or she finds that it was not possible to furnish the party with the
transcript 10 days before the trial, hearing, or proceeding, and that
the party will not be prejudiced by the delay in receiving that
transcript.
   (d) A court may issue an order limiting disclosures pursuant to
subdivisions (a) and (b) upon a showing of good cause.




629.72.  Any person in any trial, hearing, or proceeding, may move
to suppress some or all of the contents of any intercepted wire or
electronic communications, or evidence derived therefrom, only on the
basis that the contents or evidence were obtained in violation of
the Fourth Amendment of the United States Constitution or of this
chapter. The motion shall be made, determined, and be subject to
review in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1538.5.



629.74.  The Attorney General, any deputy attorney general, district
attorney, or deputy district attorney, or any peace officer who, by
any means authorized by this chapter, has obtained knowledge of the
contents of any wire or electronic communication, or evidence derived
therefrom, may disclose the contents to one of the individuals
referred to in this section, to any judge or magistrate in the state,
and to any investigative or law enforcement officer as defined in
subdivision (7) of Section 2510 of Title 18 of the United States Code
to the extent that the disclosure is permitted pursuant to Section
629.82 and is appropriate to the proper performance of the official
duties of the individual making or receiving the disclosure. No other
disclosure, except to a grand jury, of intercepted information is
permitted prior to a public court hearing by any person regardless of
how the person may have come into possession thereof.



629.76.  The Attorney General, any deputy attorney general, district
attorney, or deputy district attorney, or any peace officer or
federal law enforcement officer who, by any means authorized by this
chapter, has obtained knowledge of the contents of any wire or
electronic communication, or evidence derived therefrom, may use the
contents or evidence to the extent the use is appropriate to the
proper performance of his or her official duties and is permitted
pursuant to Section 629.82.



629.78.  Any person who has received, by any means authorized by
this chapter, any information concerning a wire or electronic
communication, or evidence derived therefrom, intercepted in
accordance with the provisions of this chapter, may, pursuant to
Section 629.82, disclose the contents of that communication or
derivative evidence while giving testimony under oath or affirmation
in any criminal court proceeding or in any grand jury proceeding.



629.80.  No otherwise privileged communication intercepted in
accordance with, or in violation of, the provisions of this chapter
shall lose its privileged character. When a peace officer or federal
law enforcement officer, while engaged in intercepting wire or
electronic communications in the manner authorized by this chapter,
intercepts wire or electronic communications that are of a privileged
nature he or she shall immediately cease the interception for at
least two minutes. After a period of at least two minutes,
interception may be resumed for up to 30 seconds during which time
the officer shall determine if the nature of the communication is
still privileged. If still of a privileged nature, the officer shall
again cease interception for at least two minutes, after which the
officer may again resume interception for up to 30 seconds to
redetermine the nature of the communication. The officer shall
continue to go online and offline in this manner until the time that
the communication is no longer privileged or the communication ends.
The recording device shall be metered so as to authenticate upon
review that interruptions occurred as set forth in this chapter.



629.82.  (a) If a peace officer or federal law enforcement officer,
while engaged in intercepting wire or electronic communications in
the manner authorized by this chapter, intercepts wire or electronic
communications relating to crimes other than those specified in the
order of authorization, but which are enumerated in subdivision (a)
of Section 629.52, or any violent felony as defined in subdivision
(c) of Section 667.5, (1) the contents thereof, and evidence derived
therefrom, may be disclosed or used as provided in Sections 629.74
and 629.76 and (2) the contents and any evidence derived therefrom
may be used under Section 629.78 when authorized by a judge if the
judge finds, upon subsequent application, that the contents were
otherwise intercepted in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter. The application shall be made as soon as practicable.
   (b) If a peace officer or federal law enforcement officer, while
engaged in intercepting wire or electronic communications in the
manner authorized by this chapter, intercepts wire or electronic
communications relating to crimes other than those specified in
subdivision (a), the contents thereof, and evidence derived
therefrom, may not be disclosed or used as provided in Sections
629.74 and 629.76, except to prevent the commission of a public
offense. The contents and any evidence derived therefrom may not be
used under Section 629.78, except where the evidence was obtained
through an independent source or inevitably would have been
discovered, and the use is authorized by a judge who finds that the
contents were intercepted in accordance with this chapter.
   (c) The use of the contents of an intercepted wire or electronic
communication relating to crimes other than those specified in the
order of authorization to obtain a search or arrest warrant entitles
the person named in the warrant to notice of the intercepted wire or
electronic communication and a copy of the contents thereof that were
used to obtain the warrant.



629.84.  Any violation of this chapter is punishable by a fine not
exceeding two thousand five hundred dollars ($2,500), or by
imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or by
imprisonment in the state prison, or by both such fine and
imprisonment in the county jail or in the state prison.



629.86.  Any person whose wire or electronic communication is
intercepted, disclosed, or used in violation of this chapter shall
have the following remedies:
   (a) Have a civil cause of action against any person who
intercepts, discloses, or uses, or procures any other person to
intercept, disclose, or use, the communications.
   (b) Be entitled to recover, in that action, all of the following:
   (1) Actual damages but not less than liquidated damages computed
at the rate of one hundred dollars ($100) a day for each day of
violation or one thousand dollars ($1,000), whichever is greater.
   (2) Punitive damages.
   (3) Reasonable attorney's fees and other litigation costs
reasonably incurred.
   A good faith reliance on a court order is a complete defense to
any civil or criminal action brought under this chapter, or under
Chapter 1.5 (commencing with Section 630) or any other law.




629.88.  Nothing in Section 631, 632.5, 632.6, or 632.7 shall be
construed as prohibiting any peace officer or federal law enforcement
officer from intercepting any wire or electronic communication
pursuant to an order issued in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter. Nothing in Section 631, 632.5, 632.6, or 632.7 shall be
construed as rendering inadmissible in any criminal proceeding in any
court or before any grand jury any evidence obtained by means of an
order issued in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
Nothing in Section 637 shall be construed as prohibiting the
disclosure of the contents of any wire or electronic communication
obtained by any means authorized by this chapter, if the disclosure
is authorized by this chapter. Nothing in this chapter shall apply to
any conduct authorized by Section 633.



629.89.  No order issued pursuant to this chapter shall either
directly or indirectly authorize covert entry into or upon the
premises of a residential dwelling, hotel room, or motel room for
installation or removal of any interception device or for any other
purpose. Notwithstanding that this entry is otherwise prohibited by
any other section or code, this chapter expressly prohibits covert
entry of a residential dwelling, hotel room, or motel room to
facilitate an order to intercept wire or electronic communications.



629.90.  An order authorizing the interception of a wire or
electronic communication shall direct, upon request of the applicant,
that a public utility engaged in the business of providing
communications services and facilities, a landlord, custodian, or any
other person furnish the applicant forthwith all information,
facilities, and technical assistance necessary to accomplish the
interception unobtrusively and with a minimum of interference with
the services which the public utility, landlord, custodian, or other
person is providing the person whose communications are to be
intercepted. Any such public utility, landlord, custodian, or other
person furnishing facilities or technical assistance shall be fully
compensated by the applicant for the reasonable costs of furnishing
the facilities and technical assistance.



629.91.  A good faith reliance on a court order issued in accordance
with this chapter by any public utility, landlord, custodian, or any
other person furnishing information, facilities, and technical
assistance as directed by the order is a complete defense to any
civil or criminal action brought under this chapter, Chapter 1.5
(commencing with Section 630), or any other law.



629.92.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any court to
which an application is made in accordance with this chapter may take
any evidence, make any finding, or issue any order required to
conform the proceedings or the issuance of any order of authorization
or approval to the provisions of the Constitution of the United
States, any law of the United States, or this chapter.



629.94.  (a) The Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training,
in consultation with the Attorney General, shall establish a course
of training in the legal, practical, and technical aspects of the
interception of private wire or electronic communications and related
investigative techniques.
   (b) The Attorney General shall set minimum standards for
certification and periodic recertification of the following persons
as eligible to apply for orders authorizing the interception of
private wire or electronic communications, to conduct the
interceptions, and to use the communications or evidence derived from
them in official proceedings:
   (1) Investigative or law enforcement officers.
   (2) Other persons, when necessary, to provide linguistic
interpretation who are designated by the Attorney General, Chief
Deputy Attorney General, or Chief Assistant Attorney General,
Criminal Law Division, or the district attorney, or the district
attorney's designee and are supervised by an investigative or law
enforcement officer.
   (c) The Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training may
charge a reasonable enrollment fee for those students who are
employed by an agency not eligible for reimbursement by the
commission to offset the costs of the training. The Attorney General
may charge a reasonable fee to offset the cost of certification.




629.96.  If any provision of this chapter, or the application
thereof to any person or circumstances, is held invalid, the
