The operations provided for in this chapter shall take place under the authority and control of the magistrate who authorised them. This magistrate may order their interruption at any time.

The operations may not, on pain of nullity, have a purpose other than that for which they were authorised. The fact that these operations reveal other offences does not constitute a cause of invalidity of the incidental proceedings.
