SB 6136 - DIGEST

(SUBSTITUTED FOR - SEE 1ST SUB)

Provides that a law enforcement officer may apply for and the superior court may issue orders and extensions of orders authorizing the installation and use of electronic tracking devices, including but not limited to global positioning satellite devices, as provided in this act.

Provides that, if the court finds that the information likely to be obtained by such installation and use is relevant to an ongoing criminal investigation and finds that there is probable cause to believe that the electronic tracking device will lead to obtaining evidence of a crime, contraband, fruits of crime, things criminally possessed, weapons, or other things by means of which a crime has been committed or reasonably appears about to be committed, or will lead to learning the location of a person who is unlawfully restrained or reasonably believed to be a witness in a criminal investigation or for whose arrest there is probable cause, the court shall enter an ex parte order authorizing the installation and use of an electronic tracking device.
