### sec.333 Access to things that have been seized
Until an article, record or other thing that has been seized is forfeited or returned, an inspector must allow its owner—
to inspect it; and
for a record or another thing that is a document—to copy it.
Also, until a record or another document that has been seized is forfeited or returned, an inspector must, at the request of the owner of the record or other document, give the owner a correct copy of the record or other document.
A copy of a record or another document given to a person under subsection (2) certified by an inspector as being a correct copy is admissible as evidence in any court and has the same effect as if it were the original of the record or other document.
Subsection (1) does not apply if it is impracticable or would be unreasonable to allow the inspection or copying.
