SECTION 13. ORS 133.726 is amended to read:
133.726. (1) Notwithstanding ORS 133.724, under the
circumstances described in this section, a law enforcement
officer is authorized to intercept an oral communication to which
the officer or someone under the direct supervision of the
officer is a party, without obtaining an order for the
interception of a wire, electronic or oral communication under
ORS 133.724.
(2) For purposes of this section and ORS 133.736, a person is a
party to an oral communication if the oral communication is made
in the person's immediate presence and is audible to the person
regardless of whether the communication is specifically directed
to the person.
(3) An ex parte order for intercepting an oral communication in
any county of this state under this section may be issued by any
judge as defined in ORS 133.525 upon written application made
upon oath or affirmation of the district attorney or a deputy
district attorney authorized by the district attorney for the
county in which the order is sought or upon the oath or
affirmation of any peace officer as defined in ORS 133.005. The
application shall include:
(a) The name of the applicant and the applicant's authority to
make the application;
(b) A statement demonstrating that there is probable cause to
believe that a person whose oral communication is to be
intercepted is engaged in committing, has committed or is about
to commit a particular felony, or a misdemeanor under ORS
167.007, and that intercepting the oral communication will yield
evidence thereof; and
(c) The identity of the person, if known, suspected of
committing the crime and whose oral communication is to be
intercepted.
(4) The judge may require the applicant to furnish further
testimony or documentary evidence in support of the application.
(5) Upon examination of the application and evidence, the judge
may enter an ex parte order, as requested or as modified,
authorizing or approving the interception of an oral
communication within the state if the judge determines on the
basis of the facts submitted by the applicant that:
(a) There is probable cause to believe that a person is engaged
in committing, has committed or is about to commit a particular
felony, or a misdemeanor under ORS 167.007; and
(b) There is probable cause to believe that the oral
communication to be obtained will contain evidence concerning
that crime.
(6) An order authorizing or approving the interception of an
oral communication under this section must specify:
(a) The identity of the person, if known, whose oral
communication is to be intercepted;
(b) A statement identifying the particular crime to which the
oral communication is expected to relate;
(c) The agency authorized under the order to intercept the oral
communication;
(d) The name and office of the applicant and the signature and
title of the issuing judge;

of an oral communication to which a law enforcement officer or
someone under the direct supervision of a law enforcement officer
is a party.
(7) An order under ORS 133.724 or this section is not required
when a law enforcement officer intercepts an oral communication
to which the officer or someone under the direct supervision of
the officer is a party if the oral communication is made by a
person whom the officer has probable cause to believe has
committed, is engaged in committing or is about to commit:
(a) A crime punishable as a felony under ORS 475.992 or 475.995
or as a misdemeanor under ORS 167.007; or
(b) Any other crime punishable as a felony if the circumstances
at the time the oral communication is intercepted are of such
exigency that it would be unreasonable to obtain a court order
under ORS 133.724 or this section.
(8) A law enforcement officer who intercepts an oral
communication pursuant to this section may not intentionally fail
to record and preserve the oral communication in its entirety. A
law enforcement officer, or a person under the direct supervision
of the officer, who is authorized under this section to intercept
an oral communication is not required to exclude from the
interception an oral communication made by a person for whom
probable cause does not exist if the officer or person under the
officer's direct supervision is a party to the oral
communication.
(9) A law enforcement officer may not divulge the contents of
an oral communication intercepted under this section before a
preliminary hearing or trial in which an oral communication is
going to be introduced as evidence against a person except:
(a) To a superior officer or other official with whom the law
enforcement officer is cooperating in the enforcement of { + the
criminal + } laws { - creating felonies - } { + of this state
or the United States + };
(b) To a magistrate;
(c) In a presentation to a federal or state grand jury; or
(d) In compliance with a court order.

communication under this section only when acting within the
scope of the officer's employment and as a part of assigned
duties.
(11) As used in this section, 'law enforcement officer ' means
an officer employed by the United States, this state or a

subdivision, agency, department or bureau of those governments,
to enforce criminal laws.
(12) Violation of subsection (9) of this section is a Class A
misdemeanor.
SECTION 14. ORS 137.545 is amended to read:
137.545. (1) Subject to the limitations in ORS 137.010 and to
rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission for felonies
committed on or after November 1, 1989:
(a) The period of probation shall be such as the court
determines and may, in the discretion of the court, be continued
or extended.
(b) The court may at any time discharge a person from
probation.
(2) At any time during the probation period, the court may
issue a warrant and cause a defendant to be arrested for
violating any of the conditions of probation. Any probation
officer, police officer or other officer with power of arrest may
arrest a probationer without a warrant for violating any
condition of probation, and a statement by the probation officer
{ + or arresting officer + } setting forth that the probationer
has, in the judgment of the probation officer { + or arresting
officer + }, violated the conditions of probation is sufficient
warrant for the detention of the probationer in the county jail
until the probationer can be brought before the court or until
the probation officer or supervisory personnel impose and the
offender agrees to structured, intermediate sanctions in
accordance with the rules adopted under ORS 137.595. Such
disposition shall be made during the first 36 hours in custody,
excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, unless later
disposition is authorized by supervisory personnel. If authorized
by supervisory personnel, the disposition shall take place in no
more than five judicial days. If the offender does not consent to
structured, intermediate sanctions imposed by the probation
officer or supervisory personnel in accordance with the rules
adopted under ORS 137.595, the probation officer, as soon as
practicable, but within one judicial day, shall report such
arrest or detention to the court that imposed the probation. The
probation officer shall promptly submit to the court a report
showing in what manner the probationer has violated the
conditions of probation.
(3) Except for good cause shown or at the request of the
probationer, the probationer shall be brought before a magistrate
during the first 36 hours of custody, excluding holidays,
Saturdays and Sundays. That magistrate, in the exercise of
discretion, may order the probationer held pending a violation or
revocation hearing or pending transfer to the jurisdiction of
another court where the probation was imposed. In lieu of an
order that the probationer be held, the magistrate may release
the probationer upon the condition that the probationer appear in
court at a later date for a probation violation or revocation
hearing. If the probationer is being held on an out-of-county
warrant, the magistrate may order the probationer released
subject to an additional order to the probationer that the
probationer report within seven calendar days to the court that
imposed the probation.
(4) When a probationer has been sentenced to probation in more
than one county and the probationer is being held on an
out-of-county warrant for a probation violation, the court may
consider consolidation of some or all pending probation violation
proceedings pursuant to rules made and orders issued by the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court under ORS 137.547:
(a) Upon the motion of the district attorney or defense counsel
in the county in which the probationer is held; or
(b) Upon the court's own motion.
(5)(a) For defendants sentenced for felonies committed prior to
November 1, 1989, and for any misdemeanor, the court that imposed
the probation, after summary hearing, may revoke the probation
and:
(A) If the execution of some other part of the sentence has
been suspended, the court shall cause the rest of the sentence
imposed to be executed.
(B) If no other sentence has been imposed, the court may impose
any other sentence which originally could have been imposed.
(b) For defendants sentenced for felonies committed on or after
November 1, 1989, the court that imposed the probationary
sentence may revoke probation supervision and impose a sanction
as provided by rules of the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission.
(6) Except for good cause shown, if the revocation hearing is
not conducted within 14 calendar days following the arrest or
detention of the probationer, the probationer shall be released
from custody.
(7) A defendant who has been previously confined in the county
jail as a condition of probation pursuant to ORS 137.540 or as
part of a probationary sentence pursuant to the rules of the
Oregon Criminal Justice Commission may be given credit for all
time thus served in any order or judgment of confinement
resulting from revocation of probation.
(8) In the case of any defendant whose sentence has been
suspended but who has not been sentenced to probation, the court
may issue a warrant and cause the defendant to be arrested and
brought before the court at any time within the maximum period
for which the defendant might originally have been sentenced.
Thereupon the court, after summary hearing, may revoke the
suspension of sentence and cause the sentence imposed to be
executed.
(9) If a probationer fails to appear or report to a court for
further proceedings as required by an order under subsection (3)
of this section, the failure to appear may be prosecuted in the
county to which the probationer was ordered to appear or report.
(10)(a) If requested by the probationer and agreed to by the
court, the probationer may admit or deny the violation without
being physically present at the hearing if the probationer
appears before the court by means of simultaneous television
transmission allowing the court to observe and communicate with
the defendant and the defendant to observe and communicate with
the court.
(b) Notwithstanding paragraph (a) of this subsection,
appearance by simultaneous television transmission shall not be
permitted unless the facilities used enable the defendant to
consult privately with defense counsel during the proceedings.
(11)(a) The victim has the right:
(A) Upon request made within the time period prescribed in the
notice required by ORS 147.417, to be notified by the district
attorney of any hearing before the court that may result in the
revocation of the defendant's probation;
(B) To appear personally at the hearing; and
(C) If present, to reasonably express any views relevant to the
issues before the court.
(b) Failure of the district attorney to notify the victim under
paragraph (a) of this subsection or failure of the victim to
appear at the hearing does not affect the validity of the
proceeding.
