Provision
§ 640NoticeProvision

The officer who executed a tracking-device warrant must give the tracked person notice within 14 calendar days after tracking ends, unless the court waives notice.

1. Service of notice. Unless the court determines under subsection 3 that no notice is required, within 14 calendar days after the use of the tracking device has ended, the law enforcement officer who executed the warrant shall serve a copy of the warrant on the person who was tracked or whose property was tracked. The time period provided in this subsection may be extended for good cause shown. [PL 2019, c. 489, §3 (NEW).] 2. Means of providing notice. The notice required under subsection 1 must be made by: A. Delivering a copy to the person who was tracked or whose property was tracked; [PL 2019, c. 489, §3 (NEW).] B. Leaving a copy at the person's residence or usual place of abode with an individual of suitable age and discretion who resides at that location; or [PL 2019, c. 489, §3 (NEW).] C. Mailing a copy to the person's last known address. [PL 2019, c. 489, §3 (NEW).] [PL 2019, c. 489, §3 (NEW).] 3. Notification not required. A law enforcement officer acting pursuant to section 639 may include in the application for a warrant a request for an order to waive the notification required under this section. The court may issue an order waiving notification if the court determines that there is reason to believe that notification will have an adverse result. [PL 2019, c. 489, §3 (NEW).]
