### sec.348D When tracking device authorisation ends
A tracking device authorisation ends when the first of the following happens—
the person to whom the authorisation relates is taken into custody;
the authorisation period for the authorisation ends or, if the authorisation period is extended under section 348E , the period as extended ends.
If a tracking device authorisation ends under subsection (1) , the authorisation stops having effect other than to the extent it authorises—
the retrieval of the tracking device and any enhancement equipment; and
the use of the tracking device and any enhancement equipment for the purpose of retrieving the device and equipment.
However, after a tracking device authorisation ends, a police officer may exercise a power mentioned in subsection (2) only if a senior officer of the police service approves the exercise.
This section does not stop a police officer from retrieving a tracking device and any enhancement equipment from premises if the presence of the police officer on the premises is not an offence.
