Warrants
44 Warrants
If a justice is satisfied on an application supported by evidence on oath that it is reasonably necessary for an authorised investigator to enter premises for the purposes of an investigation, the justice may issue a warrant authorising an authorised investigator —
to enter the premises at a time or within a period stated in the warrant; and
to exercise an investigator’s powers of investigation under this Division.
An authorised investigator who applies to a justice for a warrant under this section must produce to the justice the investigator’s identity card.
The authority conferred by a warrant may be exercised by the authorised investigator on whose application the warrant was issued or by any other authorised investigator.
