Crimes (Controlled Operations) Act 2004

While it has effect, an authority for a controlled operation—

authorises each law enforcement participant to engage in the controlled conduct specified in the authority in respect of the law enforcement participants; and

authorises each civilian participant (if any) to engage in the particular controlled conduct specified in the authority in respect of that participant.

In the case of a local major or local minor controlled operation, the authority authorises each participant to engage in the conduct referred to in subsection (1) in this jurisdiction.

In the case of a cross-border controlled operation, the authority authorises each participant to engage in the conduct referred to in subsection (1) in this jurisdiction or in any participating jurisdiction (subject to any corresponding law of that participating jurisdiction).

The authority to engage in controlled conduct given to a participant cannot be delegated to any other person.
