### sec.801 Steps after issue of prescribed authority After issuing the prescribed authority, the issuer must— if it is reasonably practicable to give a copy of the prescribed authority to the police officer or law enforcement officer by electronic communication—immediately give the copy to the police officer or law enforcement officer by electronic communication; and for a prescribed authority issued on a remote application made under chapter 13 —immediately record the details mentioned in subsection (2) (a) (i) and (ii) in a register kept by the issuer for the purpose. If it is not reasonably practicable to give a copy of the prescribed authority to the police officer or law enforcement officer by electronic communication— the issuer must tell the police officer or law enforcement officer— what the terms of the prescribed authority are; and the day and time the prescribed authority was issued; and the police officer or law enforcement officer must complete a form of prescribed authority (a prescribed authority form ) and write on it— the issuer’s name; and the day and time the issuer issued the prescribed authority; and the terms of the prescribed authority. To remove doubt, it is declared that the copy of the prescribed authority given under subsection (1) (a) , or the prescribed authority form properly completed by the police officer or law enforcement officer— is, and is taken always to have been, of the same effect as the prescribed authority signed by the issuer; and authorises the entry and the exercise of the other powers stated in the prescribed authority issued by the issuer.

The police officer or law enforcement officer must send the documents mentioned in subsection (4) to the issuer— generally—at the first reasonable opportunity; or for a remote application made under chapter 13 —within 72 hours.
