### sec.43G When surveillance device authorisation ends A surveillance device authorisation for a relevant emergency ends— if a commissioned officer revokes the authorisation—when it is revoked; or if paragraph (a) does not apply and more than 1 emergency was declared to exist in relation to the situation to which the relevant emergency relates—when the last declaration ends; or if paragraphs (a) and (b) do not apply—when the declaration for the relevant emergency ends. If a surveillance device authorisation ends under subsection (1) , the authorisation stops having effect other than to the extent it authorises— the retrieval of the surveillance device and any enhancement equipment; and the use of the surveillance device and any enhancement equipment for the purpose of retrieving the device and equipment. However, after a surveillance device authorisation ends— covert entry to a building in order to retrieve a surveillance device or any enhancement equipment is not authorised; and For retrieval warrants for surveillance devices and enhancement equipment lawfully installed under a surveillance device authorisation, see the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 , chapter 13 , part 2 , division 3 . a police officer may exercise a power mentioned in subsection (2) only if a commissioned officer approves the exercise.
