### sec.83 Warrants An authorised officer may apply to a magistrate for a warrant for a place. An application must be sworn and state the grounds on which the warrant is sought. The magistrate may refuse to consider the application until the authorised officer gives the magistrate all the information the magistrate requires about the application in the way the magistrate requires. The magistrate may require additional information supporting the application to be given by statutory declaration. The magistrate may issue a warrant only if the magistrate is satisfied there are reasonable grounds for suspecting— there is a particular thing (the evidence ) that may provide evidence of the commission of an offence against this Act; and the evidence is, or may be within the next 7 days, at the place. The warrant must state— that the authorised officer may, with necessary and reasonable help and force, enter the place or vehicle and exercise the authorised officer’s powers under this Act; and the evidence for which the warrant is issued; and the hours of the day when entry may be made; and the day (within 14 days after the warrant’s issue) when the warrant ends.
