SB71 expands the crimes for which law enforcement can get court approval to wiretap or intercept communications by adding sex crimes and crimes of violence to the list of offenses eligible for surveillance orders. The bill specifically includes sex crimes defined in state statute and violent crimes already classified in law, giving prosecutors additional tools to investigate these serious offenses.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
