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.
