Part 5: Equipment interference Section 123: Modification of warrants issued by law enforcement chiefs
This section sets out the modifications which may be made to a targeted equipment interference warrant, issued by a law enforcement chief or appropriate delegate.
	Subsection (2) details the only modifications that may be made to such a warrant. This includes adding or removing a matter to which the warrant relates, adding, varying or removing a name or description included in the warrant and adding, varying or removing a description of the types of equipment included in the warrant.
	Subsection (3) provides that a warrant relating to the interference with equipment belonging to, used by or in the possession of a single person or organisation or in a single location, cannot be modified to add, vary or remove a person, organisation or location.
	The decision to make any modifications under this section must be made by the law enforcement chief or appropriate delegate that issued the warrant. Such modifications must be approved by a Judicial Commissioner before they have effect, except where the person making the modification considers that there is an urgent need to make it (see section 124).
	This section also sets out that the additional protections provided for in sections 111 to 114 apply (additional protections for Members of Parliament etc., items subject to legal privilege, items containing confidential journalistic material and sources of journalistic information) in relation to any modification as they apply in relation to the issuing of a warrant, except where the modification is only removing any matter, name or description from the warrant.
