#### 241 Occupier entitled to be present during search
(1) If an occupier of \*premises, or another person who apparently represents the occupier, is present at the premises while a \*search warrant is being executed, the occupier or person has the right to observe the search being conducted.
(2) However, the right ceases if:
(a) the person impedes the search; or
(b) the person is under arrest, and allowing the person to observe the search being conducted would interfere with the objectives of the search.
(3) This section does not prevent 2 or more areas of the \*premises being searched at the same time.
