Recordings, records and custody.
(a) Any private
communication intercepted in accordance with this Article shall, if
practicable, be recorded by tape or other comparable method. The recording
shall, if practicable, be done in such a way as will protect it from
editing or other alteration. During an interception, the interception
shall be carried out by an electronic criminal surveillance officer, and,
if practicable, such officer shall keep a signed, written record, including:
(1) the date and hours of surveillance;
(2) the time and duration of each intercepted |
(b) Immediately upon the expiration of the order or its extensions, the
tapes and other recordings shall be transferred to the chief judge issuing the
order and sealed under his direction. Custody of the tapes, or other
recordings, shall be maintained wherever the chief judge directs. They
shall not be destroyed except upon an order of a court of competent
jurisdiction and in any event shall be kept for 10 years. Duplicate tapes
or other recordings may be made for disclosure or use under paragraph (a)
of Section 108B-2a of this Article. The presence of the seal provided by
this Section, or a satisfactory explanation for its absence, shall be a
prerequisite for the disclosure of the contents of any private
communication, or evidence derived from it, under
paragraph (b) of Section 108B-2a of this Article.
