145A Entry of premises used for trade or commerce
An inspector may enter premises used for trade or commerce to find out whether this Act is being complied with if—
the trade or commerce relates to fisheries resources; and
any of the following applies—
the occupier of the premises is present;
a person other than the occupier of the premises is present and conducting activities for the trade or commerce;
the premises are otherwise open for entry; and
the inspector—
is wearing a body-worn camera that is working; or
if the body-worn camera is not working—has activated an alternative device to record images or sound, or both, for the period of the entry.
Before entering premises under subsection (1), the inspector must give the occupier of the premises at least 20 days notice of the entry unless the giving of notice would defeat the purpose of the entry.
