116F Entry and search warrant—deciding application
The magistrate may issue an entry and search warrant if satisfied on
reasonable grounds that—
(a) either—
(i) the registrable offender has incorrectly reported, or is likely
to incorrectly report, personal details; or
(ii) if the registrable offender is subject to an order under
chapter 5A (Orders prohibiting offender conduct)—the
offender has breached, or is likely to breach, the order; and
(b) for an application without affidavit—it would have been
impracticable for an affidavit to have been prepared and sworn
before the application was made; and
(c) for a remote application—it would have been impracticable for
the application to have been made in person.
