Please could someone tell me if Daniel Morcombe's killer was asked permission or was given a warrant to record him? Do you really think they asked him (legally) to show how Daniel was murdered and were Daniel's remains were?
They wouldn't have caught that if these ridiculous methods were put forward.
IMO all gloves off whatever it takes to catch a .
In a police investigation a warrant application to record conversations with a person of interest is made to a magistrate or judge. If you read the transcripts of Cowan's trial and the Coronial Inquest this will show you the process.
With regard to the processes involved in NSW the Surveillance Devices Act NSW shows very clearly the steps required for law enforcement officers to follow.
I understand your sentiments totally but the last thing any of us would want or seek is a successful prosecution to be at risk of a conviction quashed because a police investigator acted outside the law in order to investigate and prosecute. All persons are held to be innocent until successfully convicted. The Laws are set down to ensure justice prevails. A police officer acting outside the law puts justice at risk and does not fulfill their sworn obligation to uphold the law.
