B. Any records obtained by the defendant or his attorney without full compliance with the provisions of this Section shall be inadmissable in any criminal proceeding. C. The district attorney shall provide written notice to the victim, or counsel for the victim if applicable, of the contradictory hearing required by the provisions of this Section. D.
