If the requirements of the information relating to one of the offences falling within the scope of articles 706-73 and 706-73-1 require it, the examining magistrate may authorise judicial police officers acting on a letter rogatory to carry out searches, home visits and seizures of exhibits outside the hours provided for in Article 59, when these operations do not involve residential premises.
In urgent cases, the investigating judge may also authorise judicial police officers to carry out these operations in residential premises :
1° Where a crime or flagrant offence is involved;
2° Where there is an immediate risk of evidence or material clues disappearing;
3° Where there are one or more plausible grounds for suspecting that one or more persons on the premises where the search is to take place are in the process of committing crimes or offences falling within the scope of Articles 706-73 and 706-73-1 ;
4° Where their performance, in the context of an investigation into one or more of the offences referred to in 11° of Article 706-73, is necessary in order to prevent a risk to life or physical integrity.
