#### 112 The things authorised by a search warrant in relation to premises
A search warrant in force in relation to premises authorises the authorised officer executing the warrant or an assisting officer to do any of the following:
(a) to enter the premises;
(b) to search for and record fingerprints found at the premises and to take samples of things found at the premises for forensic purposes;
(c) to search the premises for the kinds of evidential material specified in the warrant, and to seize things of that kind found on the premises;
(d) to seize other things found on the premises in the course of the search that the authorised officer or the assisting officer believes on reasonable grounds to be:
(i) in the case of an investigation warrant—evidential material in relation to the corruption issue or public inquiry to which the warrant relates; or
(ii) in the case of an offence warrant—a thing relevant to the offence to which the warrant relates; or
(iii) in any case—evidential material (within the meaning of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002) or tainted property (within the meaning of that Act); or
(iv) in any case—a thing relevant to an indictable offence;
if the authorised officer or the assisting officer believes on reasonable grounds that seizure of the thing is necessary to prevent its concealment, loss or destruction or its use in committing an offence;
(e) to seize other things found at the premises in the course of the search that the authorised officer or the assisting officer believes on reasonable grounds to be eligible seizable items;
(f) if the warrant so allows—to conduct an ordinary search or a frisk search of a person at or near the premises if the authorised officer or the assisting officer suspects on reasonable grounds that the person has in his or her possession:
(i) in the case of an investigation warrant—any evidential material in relation to the corruption issue or public inquiry to which the warrant relates; or
(ii) in the case of an offence warrant—a thing relevant to the offence to which the warrant relates; or
(iii) in any case—evidential material (within the meaning of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002) or tainted property (within the meaning of that Act); or
(iv) in any case—a thing relevant to an indictable offence; or
(v) in any case—any eligible seizable items.
