After the magistrate issues the original warrant— if there is a reasonably practicable way of immediately giving a copy of the warrant to the inspector (by emailing or faxing the copy, for example), the magistrate must immediately give a copy of the warrant (a duplicate warrant ) to the inspector; or otherwise— the magistrate must tell the inspector the information stated in section 192 (2) ; and the inspector must complete a form of warrant (also a duplicate warrant ), including by writing on the form the information stated in section 192 (2) provided by the magistrate. The duplicate warrant is a duplicate of, and as effective as, the original warrant. The inspector must, at the first reasonable opportunity, send to the magistrate— the written application complying with section 191 (2) and (3) ; and if the inspector completed a form of warrant under subsection (2) (b) , the completed form of warrant.
