Senate Bill 2047 amends provisions of the Code of Criminal Procedure relating to the use of certain surveillance devices for law enforcement purposes. The bill updates the definitions of "wire communication" and "mobile tracking device." The bill authorizes a district judge to issue an order for the installation and use of a mobile tracking device in the same judicial district as the site of the investigation or the site of the person, vehicle, container, item, or object the movement of which will be tracked by the mobile tracking device, while previous law authorized an order for the installation and use of the device only within the judge's judicial district.
