document adopts the contents of the document, and that the person who claims to have written the electronic
document is in fact the person who wrote it.
(2) Electronic testimony shall mean any method of communication, whether wired or wireless or any
combination thereof, in which text or images may be transferred electronically from one person to another and
includes but shall not be limited to text messages and electronic mail.

electronic signature of the applicant, the applicant's full name and occupation, and a telephone number and
electronic address which may be used by the judge to contact the applicant.

administered an oath or affirmation, swearing that the facts contained in the electronic testimony are true and
correct to the best of his knowledge, subject to the penalties for perjury or false swearing.
E. Accompanying the electronic testimony shall be an electronic facsimile of the search warrant. If the judge

including its electronic signature, and a written reproduction of the warrant, including the judge's electronic

applicant and the judge within forty-eight hours from the time the warrant was issued.
