#### 66AD Seizures without offence‑related warrant in emergency situations
(1) This section applies when a quarantine officer has entered premises under section 66AB or under a warrant issued under section 66AC.
(2) If the quarantine officer suspects, on reasonable grounds, that:
(a) particular evidential material is on the premises; and
(b) it is necessary to seize the evidential material in order to prevent it from being concealed, lost or destroyed; and
(c) it is necessary to do so without the authority of a warrant under section 66AF because the circumstances are serious and urgent;
the quarantine officer may seize the evidential material if he or she finds it there.
