252W Fortification inspection order—inspection
(1) If a fortification inspection order in relation to premises is in force, a
police officer may, at any time and without a warrant, enter the
premises to inspect the premises to assess whether the premises are
fortified.
Note If a law gives a function to an entity (including a person), the function
may be exercised from time to time (see Legislation Act, s 196 and dict,
pt 1, def entity).
(2) However, the police officer must not enter the premises unless the
chief police officer has reasonable grounds to believe the premises
are fortified.
