What is a cross-border controlled operation?

9. What is a cross-border controlled operation?



(1) A cross-border controlled operation is a controlled operation-

   (a)  in respect of an offence that is a relevant offence; and

   (b)  that is, will be, or is likely to be, conducted in this jurisdiction
        and in one or more participating jurisdictions.

(2) For the purposes of this Act, a cross-border controlled operation in
respect of a relevant offence is taken to be conducted in this jurisdiction
(whether or not it is also conducted in another jurisdiction) if a participant
in the operation is a law enforcement officer of this jurisdiction.

Note Subsection (2) is intended to cover the situation where an officer of
this jurisdiction is conducting an operation in another jurisdiction for the
purposes of investigating a relevant offence of this jurisdiction (eg: a
Victorian officer is investigating a conspiracy to import drugs into Victoria
from NSW, and the operation is to be conducted wholly in NSW).
