Issue of warrant
36 Issue of warrant
The magistrate may issue the warrant for the place only if the magistrate is satisfied there are reasonable grounds for suspecting—
there is a particular thing or activity (the evidence) that may provide evidence of an offence against this Act; and
the evidence is at the place or, within the next 7 days, will be at the place.
The warrant must state—
the place to which the warrant applies; and
that a stated authorised person may, with necessary and reasonable help and force—
enter the place and any other place necessary for entry to the place; and
exercise the authorised person’s powers under this division; and
particulars of the offence that the magistrate considers appropriate in the circumstances; and
the name of the person suspected of having committed the offence, unless the name is unknown or the magistrate considers it inappropriate to state the name; and
the evidence that may be seized under the warrant; and
the hours of the day or night when the place may be entered; and
the magistrate’s name; and
the date and time of the warrant’s issue; and
the date, within 14 days after the warrant’s issue, the warrant ends.
