    An eavesdropping or video surveillance warrant may issue only:
    1.    Upon  an  appropriate  application  made in conformity with this

  concerning  such offense will be obtained through eavesdropping, or upon
  probable cause to believe that particular observations  concerning  such
  offense will be obtained through video surveillance; and

  the  place  where, the communications are to be intercepted or the video
  surveillance is to be conducted, are being used,  or  are  about  to  be
  used,  in  connection with the commission of such offense, or are leased
