Mutual Assistance in Criminal Matters Act 1987

A warrant in force in relation to a person authorises the executing officer or an officer assisting to do any of the following:

to:

search the person in the manner specified in the warrant; and

search things found in the possession of the person; and

search any vehicle recently used by the person;

to seize such evidential material if found in the course of the search;

to seize other things that are found, in the course of the search, in the possession of the person or in or on any vehicle recently used by the person and that the executing officer or an officer assisting believes on reasonable grounds to be:

evidential material relating to the relevant proceeding or investigation; or

things relevant to an indictable offence against an Australian law;

to seize other things found in the course of the search that the executing officer or a police officer assisting believes on reasonable grounds to be seizable items.

If the warrant states that it may be executed only during particular hours, it must not be executed outside those hours.

If the warrant authorises an ordinary search or a frisk search of a person, a search of the person different to that so authorised must not be done under the warrant.
