Professional Engineers Act 2002

This section applies if—

an investigator is authorised to enter a place under this part only with the consent of the occupier of the place or a warrant; and

the investigator enters the place after obtaining the necessary consent or warrant.

If the investigator enters the place with the occupier’s consent, the investigator may seize a thing at the place if—

the investigator reasonably believes the thing is evidence of an offence under this Act; and

seizure of the thing is consistent with the purpose of entry as explained to the occupier when asking for the occupier’s consent.

If the investigator enters the place under a warrant, the investigator may seize the evidence for which the warrant was issued.

The investigator may also seize anything else at the place if the investigator reasonably believes—

the thing is evidence of an offence against this Act; and

the seizure is necessary to prevent the thing being hidden, lost or destroyed.
