An investigator who enters a place the investigator may enter under this part without the consent of an occupier of the place and without a warrant may seize a thing at the place if the investigator reasonably believes the thing is evidence of an offence against a relevant Act.
However, nothing in this section authorises an investigator to seize a digital device used to store a licence issued under a relevant Act, if the investigator takes the device only to inspect or copy the licence.
