Section 629.58 Of Chapter 1.4. Interception Of Wire, Electronic Digital Pager, Or Electronic Cellular Telephone Communications From California Penal Code >> Title 15. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 1.4.
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.
