§ 700.70 Eavesdropping warrants; notice before use of evidence.

The contents of any intercepted communication, or evidence derived

therefrom, may not be received in evidence or otherwise disclosed upon a

trial of a defendant unless the people, within fifteen days after

arraignment and before the commencement of the trial, furnish the

defendant with a copy of the eavesdropping warrant, and accompanying

application, under which interception was authorized or approved. This

fifteen day period may be extended by the trial court upon good cause

shown if it finds that the defendant will not be prejudiced by the

delay in receiving such papers.
