Inspector may enter premises by consent or under a warrant

Current

(1)

If an inspector has reasonable grounds for suspecting that there may be evidential material on any premises, the inspector may:

(a)

enter the premises; and

(b)

exercise the offence‑related powers set out in section 70A.

(2)

However, an inspector is not authorised to enter the premises unless:

(a)

the occupier of the premises has consented to the entry and the inspector has shown his or her identity card if required by the occupier; or

(b)

the entry is made under an offence‑related warrant.

Note:

If entry to the premises is with the occupier’s consent, the inspector must leave the premises if the consent ceases to have effect: see section 75.
