#### 70 Inspector may enter premises by consent or under a warrant
(1) If an inspector has reasonable grounds for suspecting that there may be evidential material on any premises, the inspector may:
(a) enter the premises; and
(b) exercise the offence‑related powers set out in section 70A.
(2) However, an inspector is not authorised to enter the premises unless:
(a) the occupier of the premises has consented to the entry and the inspector has shown his or her identity card if required by the occupier; or
(b) the entry is made under an offence‑related warrant.
> Note: If entry to the premises is with the occupier’s consent, the inspector must leave the premises if the consent ceases to have effect: see section 75.
