At what point must the log of a non-consensual intercept be submitted by a monitor?

The requirement to submit the log of a non-consensual intercept at the end of the shift stems from the need for accountability and oversight during surveillance operations. Regular logging is crucial in ensuring that the monitoring process is being conducted according to legal and procedural standards. By submitting the log at the end of each shift, monitors provide an opportunity for review and ensure that all actions taken during that period are documented correctly.

This logging practice allows for transparency in operations and enables supervisors or authorized personnel to quickly assess the conduct of the monitoring activities. It also helps to maintain compliance with legal requirements that govern the use of intercepts, particularly those that do not have the consent of the parties being monitored. Keeping logs updated and submitted frequently ensures that any potential issues can be addressed promptly, preserving the integrity of the investigation.
