### sec.133 Authorised person’s power to enter places
An authorised person may enter a place if—
its occupier consents to the entry; or
it is a public place and the entry is made when it is open to the public; or
the entry is authorised by a warrant; or
it is a place of business and is—
open for carrying on the business; or

enter land around premises at the place to an extent that is reasonable to contact the occupier; or
enter part of the place the authorised person reasonably considers members of the public ordinarily are allowed to enter when they wish to contact the occupier.
For subsection (1) (d) , a place of business does not include a part of the place where a person resides.
