Before deciding the application, the judge must, in particular, and being mindful of the highly intrusive nature of the exercise of power under a covert search warrant, consider the following—

(a) the nature and seriousness of the major crime being investigated;
(b) the extent to which issuing the warrant would help prevent, detect, or provide evidence of the commission of, the major crime;
(c) the benefits derived from any previous covert search warrants, search warrants or surveillance warrants in relation to the relevant person or place;
(d) the extent to which commission officers investigating the matter have used or can use conventional ways of investigation;
(e) how much the use of conventional ways of investigation would be likely to help in the investigation of the matter;
(f) how much the use of conventional ways of investigation would prejudice the investigation of the matter;
(g) any submissions made by a monitor.
