        1.    Upon  an  appropriate  application  made in conformity with this
      article; and
        2.   Upon probable cause to  believe  that  a  particularly  described
      person  is committing, has committed, or is about to commit a particular
      designated offense; and
        3.   Upon probable cause to  believe  that  particular  communications

      probable cause to believe that particular observations  concerning  such
      offense will be obtained through video surveillance; and
        4.    Upon  a  showing  that normal investigative procedures have been
      tried and have failed, or reasonably appear to be unlikely to succeed if
      tried, or to be too dangerous to employ; and
        5.  Upon probable cause to believe that the facilities from which,  or
      the  place  where, the communications are to be intercepted or the video
      surveillance is to be conducted, are being used,  or  are  about  to  be
      used,  in  connection with the commission of such offense, or are leased
      to, listed in the name of, or commonly used by such person.
