authorized by this chapter, has obtained knowledge of the contents of any wire, electronic, or

electronic, or oral communication or evidence derived therefrom may use such contents to the
extent such use is appropriate to the proper performance of official duties.
    Subd. 3. Disclosure while giving testimony. Any person who has received, by any means
authorized by this chapter, any information concerning a wire, electronic, or oral communication,
or evidence derived therefrom intercepted in accordance with the provisions of this chapter may
disclose the contents of that communication or such derivative evidence while giving testimony
under oath or affirmation in any criminal proceeding in any court of the United States or of any

    Subd. 4. Privileged character retained. No otherwise privileged wire, electronic, or oral
communication intercepted in accordance with, or in violation of, the provisions of this chapter
shall lose its privileged character.
    Subd. 5. Application for authorized use. When an investigative or law enforcement officer,
while engaged in intercepting wire, electronic, or oral communications in the manner authorized
herein, intercepts wire, electronic, or oral communications relating to offenses other than those
specified in the order of authorization or approval, the contents thereof, and evidence derived
therefrom, may be disclosed or used as provided in subdivisions 1 and 2. Such contents and any
