### sec.69B Execution of a computer warrant
A computer warrant may be executed by using—
a written version of the warrant; or
information about the warrant in another document made under the approved procedures.
A document mentioned in subsection (1) (b) used to execute a computer warrant must include information prescribed under a regulation.
The execution of a computer warrant by using a document mentioned in subsection (1) (b) has the same effect as if the document were the computer warrant.
If anyone is arrested on execution of a computer warrant using a document mentioned in subsection (1) (b) , a written version of the warrant, made before or after the execution, must then be dealt with as if the written version of the warrant had been used.
In a proceeding before a court in which execution of a computer warrant is relevant—
a document purporting to be a written version of the warrant certified by the person who made it under the approved procedures is admissible as proof of the warrant it purports to be; and
unless the court requires a written version to be produced, a document purporting to be a document mentioned in subsection (1) (b) , certified under a regulation, is admissible as proof of a warrant it purports to contain information about.
