Search and Surveillance Bill Government Bill As reported from the Justice and Electoral Committee Commentary Recommendation The Justice and Electoral Committee has examined the Search and Surveillance Bill and recommends by majority that it be passed with the amendments shown.
Introduction This bill is intended to implement a comprehensive reform of search and surveillance legislation, both as regards the core substantive law enforcement powers, and the way search powers are exercised across the statute book.

Many of the proposed changes are based on the Law Commission’s Search and Surveillance Powers report (NZLC R97).
Currently, the search and inspection powers to be amended by the bill are spread across 69 different Acts, with many inconsistencies in the procedures applying to the exercise of powers.

Some of these statutes are up to 50 years old, and do not cover technological advancements adequately.

The bill codifies existing case law in some areas, while in other areas it clarifies aspects of the law that are unclear.
Some of its provisions are entirely new and reflect technological developments or reforms carried out in other jurisdictions.

45—2 2 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary State agencies play an important role in upholding the law and cre- ating a safe society for citizens to live and work in.

To carry out this role, law enforcement agencies require coercive powers that would not be appropriate for ordinary citizens, exercising some of which will affect the rights and freedoms of individuals.
We faced the diffi- cult task of providing law enforcement agencies with adequate tools to operate in the modern environment, while at the same time ensur- ing their powers did not unreasonably impact on fundamental civil rights and liberties.

The overwhelming majority of us believe the bill now provides for appropriate powers to allow law enforcement agencies to investigate criminal activity, by means including searches of electronic information and the use of surveillance devices.
We note that the bill as introduced has a number of new safeguards regarding these powers, including the introduction of a more rigorous appointment process for officers who issue search warrants, prescrip- tion of the content of warrant applications and warrants, and the im- position of reporting requirements in relation to a number of powers.

However, we took the view that further amendments were necessary to further restrict these powers.
Accordingly, we recommend amend- ing the bill in a number of ways to strengthen the safeguards intended to protect civil liberties and human rights, to limit the circumstances in which some of the more intrusive powers may be used, and to describe clearly to citizens and law enforcement agencies where the boundaries are between what can and cannot happen so that the 69 different Acts would be clear and updated for new technology.
When the bill was referred to us, we noted there was considerable disquiet from the public about the powers it would confer on en- forcement officers, particularly those working for non-police agen- cies.
We received submissions from a wide range of individuals and organisations, including the Privacy Commissioner, ANZ National Bank, law firms Bell Gully, Russell McVeagh and Chapman Tripp, the New Zealand Law Society, Amnesty International, Greenpeace, the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions, and the Human Rights Foundation.
The overwhelming message we received was that the bill as introduced did not strike the correct balance between the com- peting values of law enforcement and human rights and that greater protection of civil liberties was needed.

Therefore we have significantly redrafted this bill.

We were con- scious of the need to ensure any areas of contention received thor- Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 3 ough analysis, and provided an interim report to the House detailing the proposed changes to the bill.
The release of our redrafted bill al- lowed a second period of public consultation, which we felt was ex- tremely important in canvassing the opinions of not only those who originally submitted on the bill but also the wider public.
We took the unusual step of hearing further submissions on the proposed amend- ments to the bill from some submitters, and many of those who had expressed concern about the bill as introduced expressed satisfaction that their concerns had been listened to and addressed by our amend- ments.

Throughout this process we have taken the concerns of the public extremely seriously, and we believe that the changes recommended in this report address many of them.
This commentary covers the significant amendments that we recom- mend to the bill; it does not cover minor or technical amendments.

Surveillance device regime The surveillance device regime was an aspect of the bill that was particularly controversial.

Accordingly, we focused a great deal of attention on this part of the bill and recommend a number of changes to address concerns.
Concern was expressed that the additional powers law enforcement officers would receive were disproportionate to the offending likely to be investigated and would extend their powers unnecessarily.

We believe these are valid concerns.

Currently there is no single approach to the use of surveillance de- vices.

The use of audio surveillance devices is covered by the Crimes Act 1961, and only the police may intercept private communications for the purposes of investigating crime.
The interception regime is also limited to the investigation of more serious offending.

The New Zealand Police and New Zealand Customs Service may use track- ing devices under the authority of the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 (either by warrant, or without warrant in emergency situations).

However, there is no regulation of the use of tracking devices by other agencies where it does not involve trespass to property.
Similarly, there is no legislative regime regulating visual surveillance devices, which may be used without restriction by any enforcement officer where no trespass is involved.

The provisions in this bill would en- 4 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary sure proper oversight and set appropriate thresholds on the use of both visual and tracking surveillance devices, while still ensuring these technologies were available to enforcement agencies in appro- priate situations.
As introduced, the bill applies the surveillance device regime to all enforcement agencies covered by the bill in circumstances where a search warrant could be obtained.

It treats all forms of surveillance devices in the same way.

The effect of this would have been to ex- tend significantly some forms of surveillance (such as that using au- dio surveillance devices) in terms of the types of offending and the agencies that could use them.
On the other hand, the bill represents a significant tightening regarding the use of visual surveillance de- vices and the use of tracking devices by agencies other than the New Zealand Police and New Zealand Customs Service, where no specific legislative regime exists.
Regulation of more intrusive forms of surveillance While the bill as introduced effectively treats all types of surveillance in the same way, we formed the view that some forms of surveil- lance have more effect on privacy than others and should be treated accordingly.
It is our view that audio surveillance and the use of vi- sual surveillance devices in circumstances that require enforcement officers to enter private property are intrusions upon privacy which should be authorised only for the investigation of the most serious offending.

Therefore we recommend amending Part 3 of the bill by inserting new clause 42AA.
This would restrict audio surveillance and visual surveillance involving trespass to the investigation of offences pun- ishable by seven years’ imprisonment or more, and offences under sections 44, 45, 50, 51, 54, and 55 of the Arms Act 1983.

We be- lieve providing an exemption to the threshold for Arms Act offences is necessary to recognise the particular threat that firearms pose.
This exemption would allow police to carry out surveillance, as part of in- vestigations into the illegal sale, possession, and supply of firearms.
The effect of limiting the use of these more intrusive forms of surveil- lance devices in this way would be in effect to limit which agencies would be permitted to employ these forms of surveillance as cur- rently only the New Zealand Police, New Zealand Customs Service, Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 5 and the Department of Internal Affairs (in respect of offending under the Films, Videos, and Publications Classification Act 1993) investi- gate such offending.
However, we consider that as the use of visual surveillance devices in circumstances involving a trespass and of audio surveillance de- vices is not currently available to non-police agencies, it would be desirable to ensure that these non-police agencies responsible for the investigation of serious offending were required to demonstrate that they had the necessary technical capability and appropriate policies and procedures before being allowed to use such forms of surveil- lance.
Accordingly, we recommend inserting clauses 45(5) and 45A to en- sure that the bill goes further; they provide that the use of visual surveillance devices in circumstances involving a trespass and au- dio surveillance devices is limited to the police and to a “specified law enforcement agency” that has been approved for the purpose by Order in Council.

“Specified law enforcement agency” is defined to mean the New Zealand Customs Service and the Department of In- ternal Affairs.
Accordingly, any extension of these more intrusive forms of surveillance to any other enforcement agencies in the future would require consideration by Parliament.

We consider this an ap- propriate limitation.

We believe these changes address the concerns about the surveil- lance device powers contained in the bill, particularly those regarding agencies other than the New Zealand Police conducting surveillance operations.
We recommend inserting new clause 50(3)(fa) into the bill to al- low enforcement officers to obtain data associated with intercepted telecommunications.

Under the bill as introduced, an enforcement officer carrying out audio surveillance could obtain the content of telecommunications but not data associated with the communica- tions, such as the time a call was made or the numbers called, without a production order.
We believe that such data is intrinsically linked to the content of the telecommunication and that an enforcement of- ficer should not have to obtain two separate orders to gather both sets of information.

6 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary Warrantless surveillance period We recommend amending clause 44(1) to reduce the warrantless surveillance period from 72 to 48 hours.
This power would allow enforcement officers to use surveillance devices to investigate serious crimes before obtaining a warrant in certain circumstances of urgency or emergency if obtaining a warrant was not immediately possible.

However we believe there is no reason that enforcement agencies would need 72 hours to obtain a warrant, and that 48 hours is a more appropriate time limit.
This would give enforcement officers flexibility when they could not contact an issuing officer, while ensuring that proper oversight of the use of surveillance devices was retained.

We also recommend further amending clause 44(1) to provide that an enforcement officer could only undertake warrantless surveillance for a period not exceeding 48 hours from the time a surveillance de- vice is first used.
This change would address concern that enforce- ment officers could, for example, carry out surveillance for 47 hours, stop for a period, and then continue for a further 48 hours.

Retention of data Many surveillance operations involve the collection of large quanti- ties of raw data, much of which will not be evidential material.

Raw data includes actual audio and visual recordings and full or substan- tial sections of audio transcripts.
We are acutely aware of the fact that in such investigations, information will probably be collected about people who are innocent of any offending and we are conscious of the need to protect their privacy.

We believe it is critical that the further retention and use of information for purposes beyond the immediate investigation be regulated in order to provide protection to such in- nocent people.
Accordingly, we recommend inserting new clause 56A, which would restrict the retention of raw surveillance data and information col- lected by law enforcement agencies.
Under this clause raw surveil- lance data could be retained only • until the conclusion of criminal proceedings, including any appeal periods, in relation to an offence for which the raw surveillance data was collected Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 7 • • • for a maximum of three years if no criminal proceedings had commenced but the data was required for an ongoing investi- gation for a further period of not more than two years if a judge had made an order granting an extension on the basis that the data was required for an ongoing investigation or if an agency had obtained an order from a judge allowing ex- cerpts from raw surveillance data to be retained, provided the judge is satisfied that the excerpts might be required for a fu- ture investigation.
We also recommend inserting new clause 56A(5), which would al- low a judge to place any conditions on an order for the retention of raw surveillance data which he or she felt appropriate, including time limits on the retention period.

We believe that this judicial oversight would significantly strengthen the protection of civil liberties and the right to privacy, while ensuring that important intelligence informa- tion remained available to enforcement agencies seeking to investi- gate serious offending.
New clause 56A would also allow information extracted from raw surveillance data, which did not alone constitute raw surveillance data, to be kept when there were reasonable grounds to suspect that the information might be relevant to ongoing or future investigations.

For example, if the police discovered during an investigation that an individual or organisation was in regular contact with a criminal group, the police would be allowed to record the fact of these possible links to criminal groups.
We also recommend amending clause 43 to enable an enforcement officer to apply for a surveillance device warrant where a party to a communication had consented to its interception and no warrant was required.

This change is intended to address situations where, even though one party to the communication consents to its recording, net- work operators are unwilling to cooperate with enforcement officers and intercept the communication without a warrant authorising them to do so.
We recommend further changes to clause 43 to ensure that the bill would not apply to interception warrants issued under section 17 of the Government Communications Security Bureau Act 2003.

The bill as introduced excludes interception warrants issued under section 8 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary 4A(1) or (2) of the New Zealand Security Intelligence Service Act 1969.

We believe this provision for the avoidance of doubt should also apply to the Government Communications Security Bureau.
Reporting requirements for surveillance device warrants We recommend amending clause 53 in order to strengthen the safe- guards in the bill by imposing more stringent reporting requirements on the use of surveillance device warrants, and to require that a re- port be made to the judge who issued the warrant or, if that judge was unavailable, another judge from the same court within one month of the expiry of the warrant.
We also recommend inserting clauses 53(2)(ab) and (ba), which would require the report to state • whether any criminal proceedings had been brought or were being considered as a result of evidential material obtained through the surveillance device warrant, and whether the evidential material obtained by using the surveil- lance device was specified in the surveillance device warrant.

• Examination orders Examination orders were one of the most contentious aspects of the bill.
They are court orders allowing the police to require a person to answer questions where they have previously refused to do so.

Con- cern was raised that this would remove an individual’s right to silence and the privilege against self-incrimination.

It was also argued that people might resort to lying or provide information that was of little use.

We acknowledge these concerns, but we believe there are strong pol- icy reasons for the examination order regime to remain in the bill.
An examination power is available to the Serious Fraud Office under its Act for the purposes of investigating serious financial crime.

The ra- tionale is that such power is necessary because of the complex trans- actions that may be involved in such offending.
In our view, it would be anomalous if such a power were available to the Serious Fraud Office but not to the police in relation to such offending as money laundering and other forms of organised crime which are also likely to involve particularly complex transactions and arrangements.

We also believe that examination orders would assist in situations where a person was reluctant to assist police on the grounds of pro- Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 9 fessional confidentiality.
This might happen, for example, in an in- vestigation of serious financial offending.

A professional who might have evidential material useful in prosecuting the case might refuse to assist police for fear of breaching professional standards or regu- lations.

In this case an examination order would allow the person to assist without any risk of doing so.
Clause 132 of the bill would ensure that the privilege against self-in- crimination under section 60 of the Evidence Act 2006 was preserved for a person subject to an examination order.

We do not recommend removing this fundamental right.

We note also that the proposed use of examination orders under the bill would be subject to more rig- orous scrutiny than they would under the Serious Fraud Office Act 1990, as the bill would require prior judicial authorisation.
While we consider that examination orders should be available to the police, we recommend that thresholds be raised to ensure that exam- ination orders would only be used to investigate very serious offend- ing.

This should establish an appropriate balance between ensuring examination orders were not too freely available and providing law enforcement agencies with an effective tool to investigate crime.
We recommend amending clause 32 to limit examination orders in the business context to offences carrying a maximum penalty of five years’ imprisonment or more.

Under the bill as introduced examin- ation orders could be obtained for the investigation of any offence punishable by a term of imprisonment.

We consider this threshold to be too low and believe this amendment would ensure examination orders were used only in the investigation of serious offending.
For examination orders in the non-business context, we recommend setting an even higher threshold.

Such examination orders would rely on information being obtained through personal relationships.

People who might know about suspected offending in such situations might have legitimate reasons for being reluctant to co-operate, and could face serious ongoing consequences as a result of assisting the police.
We therefore consider it appropriate that non-business-con- text examination orders should apply only to serious offending.

We recommend amending clause 34(a) to limit their use to the inves- tigation of serious or complex fraud offences carrying a maximum penalty of seven years’ imprisonment or more, and to offences com- mitted, wholly or partly, by an “organised criminal group” as defined in section 98A(2) of the Crimes Act.
10 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary Examination orders would give police significant powers over in- dividuals and we believe a robust oversight process is necessary to ensure they are used appropriately.

While the bill as introduced pro- vides that an application for an examination order may be made only by the Commissioner of Police, section 17 of the Policing Act 2008 allows the commissioner to delegate any of his or her powers, func- tions, or duties.
In order to ensure examination order applications receive proper scrutiny we are recommending amending clauses 31(1) and 33(1) so that only police officers holding the rank of Inspector or higher could make an application for an examination order, and that applications would have to be approved by a Deputy Commissioner, Assistant Commissioner, or District Commander before being submitted to a judge.
We believe these measures are necessary to encourage the development of rigorous internal policies and to ensure examination orders do not come to be used routinely by police.

We also believe that it is important that the examination order regime be subject to stringent judicial and parliamentary oversight, and rec- ommend inserting a number of new reporting requirements into the bill.
They would make police accountable for their use of examin- ation orders once they were issued, and ensure the system was trans- parent.

We recommend inserting new clause 40A to impose a reporting regime for examination orders.
New clause 40A would require a po- lice officer who carried out questioning pursuant to an examination order to report to the judge who made the order or, if that judge were unavailable, another judge from the same court within one month of completing the examination under the order.
The report would have to include the following information: • whether the questioning resulted in evidential material being obtained if any criminal proceedings had been brought or were being considered as a result of evidential material obtained through the examination order any other information which the judge had asked to be in- cluded at the time of granting the examination order.
• • Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 11 We also recommend amending clause 37 so that all examination orders would be subject to the reporting requirements set out in clause 40A.
Furthermore we recommend that the Commissioner of Police be re- quired by new clause 162A to include in the New Zealand Police’s annual report the number of examination order applications granted and refused in the relevant period, and the number of people charged during the relevant period where evidential material obtained through an examination order made a significant contribution towards the lay- ing of the charges.
Production orders Production orders were another area of contention in the bill as intro- duced.

Production orders would require a person to produce infor- mation or documents believed to be related to specific offending, and could apply on a single or on an ongoing basis for a maximum period of 30 days.

Production order applications would be limited to en- forcement officers who were permitted to apply for a search warrant for the offence under investigation.
We think it important to note that there has been some misunderstand- ing about the nature of the production order regime.

It was intended that production orders would provide a less intrusive alternative to a search warrant in circumstances where the party subject to the order was willing to cooperate with enforcement officers.
For example, if police needed to obtain bank records during the investigation of a crime then it would be less disruptive to the bank if it could retrieve the documents itself, rather than having the police come in and search through its records.
The regime also codifies existing case law, with the courts having previously ruled that a search warrant can be executed by the police sending the warrant to the party concerned and that party identifying and producing the relevant documents without the police physically conducting the search.
It was suggested that the issuing of production orders should be restricted to judges; however we believe that as search warrants can be issued by other kinds of issuing officers, such as Justices of the Peace, there is no logical reason that a higher bar should be imposed for a less intrusive alternative to a search warrant.
12 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary It was also argued that people should be notified if law enforcement officers had obtained their personal information, such as their bank records, through the use of a production order.

Once again we see no reason why this should apply when there is no comparable obligation regarding information gathered under a search warrant.

We also heard it argued that production orders should be more readily available.
The Serious Fraud Office would be able to obtain produc- tion orders during the course of investigations into serious or com- plex fraud.

If the director of the office believed documents might be relevant to the investigation, a production order could be issued by way of notice.

It was argued that the police also investigate serious and complex crime, and that the difference in thresholds and judicial oversight was counter-intuitive.
However we believe it is important for search powers to retain a level of judicial oversight.

We note one of the underlying policy principles of the bill is that search powers should be exercised only after judicial consideration.

In cases where there is a strong public interest in the information being obtained im- mediately, police already have warrantless search powers available to them.

Concern was raised about the way production orders would apply to telecommunications network operators.
Clause 68 of the bill as introduced refers to a network operator’s “interception capability”.

We were advised that this could mean telecommunications compan- ies could be required to establish and maintain an interception cap- ability for every agency that could conceivably obtain a production order.
The effect of this would be twofold: firstly network operators would have to set up an expensive and complex system in order to intercept information, and secondly agencies could use production orders as a means of intercepting data so as to bypass the protections in the surveillance device regime.

We agree, and recommend that clause 68 be amended to reflect the intent of the production order regime more accurately.
To make it clear that production orders cover only information and documents that have been stored in the normal course of business, we recom- mend amending clause 68 by removing the reference to “intercep- tion capability”, and making it clear that the term “document” does not cover information that a network operator would not store in the normal course of business, or anything the network operator does not have the capability to store.
This would ensure that people and or- Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 13 ganisations were not expected to provide under a production order information that they would not normally keep.

The removal of the reference to interception capability would ensure the clause remained consistent with the intention of the regime, as production orders are intended to cover only information already stored, and not to author- ise interception.
We also recommend deleting the words “and monitoring orders” from the title of subpart 2 of Part 3, to prevent confusion as the subpart refers only to production orders.

Purpose clause We recommend inserting new clause 4A into the bill.

This would clarify the bill’s intent to balance law enforcement values against human rights and recognise the importance of human rights values in the context of search and surveillance powers.
Interpretation We recommend inserting a new schedule into the bill to set out how Part 4 of the bill applies to the relevant Acts detailed in Part 5.

We believe this would make the legislation more accessible and clearer to the public and to practitioners.
Recommended changes to police powers in the bill We believe that the power to arrest and to set up road blocks without warrant to apprehend persons unlawfully at large should not be with- out limitation, and specifically that the power should not be available in relation to persons who are “unlawfully at large” simply by virtue of unpaid fines.
We recommend changing the definition of the term “unlawfully at large” in clause 3, so that a person would not be considered to be un- lawfully at large if the warrant for their arrest had been issued under Part 3 of the Summary Proceedings Act or was a warrant for unpaid fines issued under the Crimes Act.

We recommend inserting new clause 18A to allow a police constable to search any person found in or on a place or vehicle while executing a search warrant issued under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975.
This amendment reflects sec- tion 18(1) of that Act.

We understand this provision was inadver- 14 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary tently left out of the bill as introduced and we recommend this over- sight be corrected.
We also recommend that clause 19 of subpart 7 be amended so that a police constable could carry out a warrantless search of a vehicle or place in relation to suspected offences under the Misuse of Drugs Act only when the constable believed, on rea- sonable grounds, that it was not practicable to obtain a warrant.

This would represent a codification of existing case law.
We recommend inserting new clause 10(1)(aa) into the bill to allow police to obtain the details of a person in a vehicle only if the officer has reasonable grounds to suspect the person has committed an of- fence punishable by a term of imprisonment.
We believe this would balance the powers and safeguards in the bill by ensuring people were not required to give their particulars without good cause, while still allowing police to ascertain the identities of individuals where neces- sary to investigate serious offending.

We also recommend amending clause 30(c) to align police powers to require the details of people in a vehicle stopped at a road block with new clause 10(1)(aa).
We recommend that clause 14(2)(a) be amended by inserting “ser- ious” before “loss”.

This clause would then stipulate that a warrant- less right of entry could be exercised only to prevent a crime causing serious loss of property, such as arson, and could not be applied to less serious offences such as shoplifting.

Residual warrant regime We recommend deleting existing clauses 57 to 67 and replacing them with new clauses 57 to 61.
This would recast the residual warrant regime as a “declaratory order” regime, and make it clear that activ- ities, techniques, or devices which are not lawful or reasonable would not be authorised.

The residual warrant regime was intended to give enforcement officers a degree of comfort that obtaining evidential material by using a new technique, procedure, or device would not contravene the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990.
The use of the term “warrant” in the bill suggests that enforcement officers would be authorised to do something they otherwise would not be permit- ted to do.

Recasting it as a “declaratory order” would make it clear that the regime would simply provide judicial clarification that the intended activity, technique, or device was lawful and reasonable.
Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 15 New clause 57(2) would make it clear that the granting of a declara- tory order would not confer any special status on evidence collected using the device or technique authorised under the order.

The evi- dence, and the way it was collected, would still have to comply with the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act and be subject to normal eviden- tial tests at trial.
We believe these amendments would facilitate the establishment of a regime under which enforcement agencies could undertake the investigation of crime in the modern era and keep pace with technological advancement, whilst ensuring novel technologies were employed in a way that was reasonable and appropriately re- spected those civil liberties and human rights codified in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act.
Search powers Concerns were raised about the warrantless powers of search and en- try incidental to an arrest or detention that are contained in clauses 81 and 82 .

Clause 81 would allow the house or home of an arrested person to be searched if there were reasonable grounds to believe evi- dential material relating to the offence for which the person was ar- rested was located there and evidential material would be destroyed, concealed, or damaged before a warrant could be obtained.
We be- lieve this strikes a better balance between enforcement powers and civil liberties than the current law, which allows searches of only the place or vehicle where the person is arrested but does not require any belief that evidential material will be located there.

Similarly clause 82 would allow an enforcement officer to search a vehicle if there were reasonable grounds to believe evidential material relating to the offence for which the person was arrested was in a particular vehicle.
We believe that a search of a person’s home or vehicle for evidential material can be justified even if they are not arrested there; but it is fundamentally important that there must always be a reason- able belief that evidential material will be found before a search is undertaken.

We also recommend amending clause 228, which would insert new section 199A into the Fisheries Act 1996.
We recommend that the section be amended to make clearer the intent of the bill by stating that entry and search powers in the section may be exercised only where there are reasonable grounds to believe an offence against the Fisheries Act has been or is being committed.

16 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary We recommend amending clause 123 to remove the power to require particulars, and relocating it as a police-only power in clause 10.
The requirement for a vehicle stopped by an enforcement officer exercis- ing a power to stop or search to remain stopped for as long as it is reasonable for the purposes of the search or stopping would continue to apply to all enforcement agencies covered by the bill that exercise powers to search vehicles.

Computer searches We recommend inserting new clause 87AD to create new definitions for computer searches.
New clause 87AD(1) sets out a more compre- hensive definition of what constitutes a computer system, and would allow enforcement officers access to computers with the capability to access the network concerned.
In order to strengthen the protec- tions in the bill these amendments would also make it clear that re- mote-access searching of computers would be permitted in only two situations: where a computer had the capability to lawfully access a computer system (and therefore was considered part of that system); and where there was no physical location to search (for example, in the case of web-based email that the user accesses from various lo- cations such as internet cafes).
We also recommend moving the definition of “access information” from clause 125(2) of the bill to new clause 87AD(1), nearer to re- lated definitions.

New clause 87AD(2) would ensure that computers not accessing the network at the time of the search were neverthe- less considered to be linked to the system if they had the capability to be lawfully connected to the network.

We note that technolog- ical developments now allow people to access computer networks remotely.
Computers may not be automatically connected to a net- work but users may still be able to link them into it.

We were con- cerned that the bill as introduced does not address this issue, and that computers which have the capability to lawfully access a computer network might potentially not be searchable in an authorised search of that network.

We also recommend inserting new clause 126A.


This would signifi- cantly strengthen the notice requirements set out in clause 126 by applying them to remote-access searches of internet data facilities.

As it would not be practical for a warrant to be presented, notifica- Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 17 tion would be in the form of an email sent to the email address of the facility being searched.
Strip searches In order to ensure that the cultural and religious beliefs of persons be- ing searched are adequately respected and protected, we recommend inserting new clause 120(1A) to require that all personal searches, rub-down searches, and strip searches be carried out in a sensitive and decent way, which affords the person being searched a degree of privacy and dignity consistent with achieving the purpose of the search.
We also recommend amending clause 121 to require law enforcement agencies that carry out strip searches to ensure that a copy of their strip search guidelines is publicly available on their websites.

Search warrants In order to strengthen the protections in the bill we recommend amending clause 101(4)(a) to require a search warrant to state the name or other individual designation of the issuing officer.

In the bill as introduced the names of the issuing officers must appear on the warrant.
Concern was raised that this could pose a risk to issuing officers’ safety, and we recommend that the bill be amended to allow issuing officers to provide a form of identification other than their name on warrants.

Concern was also raised about the ability for warrants to be issued following oral communication between an enforcement officer and an issuing officer under clause 98(3).
We are satisfied that clause 98(3) contains sufficient safeguards to ensure that this provision would be used only in very specific circumstances.

We believe this clause would allow enforcement officers in remote areas to obtain warrants more easily in appropriate circumstances.
We recommend inserting new clause 106A to prevent issuing of- ficers from considering search warrant applications from agencies where they are employed, in order to eliminate any potential con- flict of interest and strengthen the safeguards in the bill.

We were concerned that issuing officers might feel unable to decline an appli- cation made by a superior within the same organisation, and believe new clause 106A would protect against such a situation occurring.
18 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary We also recommend amending clause 106 to give the Attorney-Gen- eral the power to remove issuing officers for a justifiable reason.

We recommend inserting clauses 106(1A) and 106(5) to prevent enforce- ment officers from acting as issuing officers and to require the Attor- ney-General to remove an issuing officer from that office should they become an enforcement officer.
We believe these amendments would strengthen the processes and procedures for the issuing of search war- rants.

We recommend a number of changes to clause 108, including amend- ing the permissible search times in clause 108(a) from “any time which is reasonable in the circumstances” to “any time which is rea- sonable”.

The bill as introduced sets out those circumstances in which a search power may be exercised.
For the avoidance of confusion and the pro- tection of those involved in the search, whether it is the enforcement officer or the owner of the property being searched, we recommend amending clause 108(c) to make it clear that the ability to use force applies in relation to property only and not people.

We also recom- mend inserting clause 111(3), which explicitly states that any powers contained in clauses 108(c) and 110(2)(b) do not authorise the use of force against any person.
We further recommend amending clause 108(c) to bring the provi- sions for the seizure of property into line with the language used in clause 110(2)(e).

We recommend making clauses 108(d), 110(2)(d), and 114 subject to new clause 111(2).

This would restrict the power to detain a person while conducting a search to enforcement officers who were inves- tigating offences for which they had a related power of arrest.
This amendment would ensure this power was used only by enforcement officers who were appropriately trained to detain people.

In the bill as introduced, clause 113 would allow enforcement officers to tem- porarily secure a search scene once a warrant application had been made.

We recommend tightening up this clause by limiting it to situ- ations where there are reasonable grounds to suspect evidential ma- terial will be destroyed, removed, hidden, or tampered with.
Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 19 Plain view searches Concern was also raised that clause 119 would allow enforcement officers to search premises for evidential material outside the scope of the search warrant.

We carried out extensive consultation on this issue.

Clause 119 would allow enforcement officers to seize items in “plain view” which might not be linked to the initial reason for the search.
Enforcement officers would not be allowed to search more extensively than would be permissible given the reasons for the war- rant being issued, for example by searching in a wardrobe when exe- cuting a search warrant in relation to a stolen car.

Clause 119 would merely allow officers to seize evidence of other offending discovered by an enforcement officer in the course of carrying out other lawful duties (such as a search in relation to other suspected offending).
We believe there are sufficient safeguards to prevent agencies undertak- ing fishing expeditions.

Privilege and confidentiality We recommend amending clause 135 in order to clarify the way the claim of privilege works.

We are aware of concern about whether the bill’s provisions for assessing privilege were adequate, and the risk that potentially privileged information could be viewed by an enforcement officer pending a determination from the courts.
Our recommended amendments to clause 135 would strengthen the bill and make it clear that no search could occur pending the determin- ation of a claim of privilege, and that the person claiming privilege must have access to or be given a copy of any information seized by an enforcement officer exercising a search power while the claim was pending.

Furthermore clause 130(1)(i) aligns the bill with section 68 of the Evidence Act 2006, which provides for journalists to protect certain sources.
We recommend amending clause 100 to prevent a warrant being is- sued to seize anything protected by legal privilege unless there is a prima facie case that the thing in question was prepared or compiled for a dishonest purpose or made in order to commit or to plan to com- mit an offence.

This would ensure consistency with the equivalent provision in the Evidence Act.
We also recommend consequential 20 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary amendments to clause 130(2), which relates to recognition of privil- ege, and clause 49, which covers surveillance device warrants.

• • Reporting requirements We recommend a number of amendments to the reporting require- ments in clauses 162 to 164.
These requirements are intended to strengthen the protections in the bill by helping both Parliament and the relevant agencies to assess whether search and surveillance powers are being used appropriately and are providing useful in- formation for the purposes of law enforcement.

Concern has been expressed about the feasibility of some of these requirements.
We recommend amending the following clauses: • clause 164(f), to require less specific reporting of the nature of a device, technique, procedure, or an activity authorised by a declaratory order clauses 163(1)(e) and 164(h), to remove the requirement to report the number of occasions that criminal proceedings are not brought within 90 days of the use of a surveillance device or the exercising of a declaratory order clause 163(1)(c), to simplify reporting of the use of warrantless surveillance devices, so that the report need only specify the numbers of times each type of surveillance device was used for fewer than 24 hours, or between 24 and 48 hours clauses 162(1AA) and 162A(1), to confine the warrantless powers on which police are required to report to those set out in Part 2 and Part 3 of the bill clauses 163(1)(d) and 164(g), to make it clear what must be reported is the number of persons charged with criminal pro- ceedings where the collection of evidential material relevant to those proceedings was significantly assisted by the search, surveillance, or activity carried out under a declaratory order.
We also recommend amending clause 171 to make it an offence for anyone to disclose information obtained through the use of a search power, an examination order, activities carried out under a declara- tory order, a surveillance power, or a production order.

Currently clause 171 covers only people involved in the investigation.
This amendment would prevent such information being disclosed regard- • • Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 21 less of how it came into the possession of the person unlawfully dis- closing it.

Inspection powers Part 4 of the bill would give a number of ancillary powers, including the power to use force, to regulatory agencies conducting an inspec- tion.

We are aware of concern that this would give regulatory agen- cies greater powers than necessary.
Particular concern was expressed that Part 4 would give regulatory agencies the power to use force.

We believe it is important to emphasise that if the police were required to accompany regulatory officers they would have no greater powers to use force against property by virtue of being police officers than the regulatory officers.

The powers are derived from the relevant le- gislation, not necessarily from an enforcement officer’s position.
We do not believe that these powers are unreasonable, and consider that they in fact achieve a balance between the protection of civil liberties and the provision of the powers required by enforcement agencies to do their job.

Clause 108(c) states that the use of force must be reasonable for the purposes of the entry and search.

This clause merely reflects the existing position under a number of statutes.
If regulatory agen- cies did not have the use of reasonable force people could frustrate searches by refusing to cooperate, for example by refusing to unlock a filing cabinet containing relevant documents or by not allowing ani- mal welfare officers into locked farm buildings.

Green Party minority view The Green Party is thankful that the committee has given this bill thorough consideration, and has allowed a second round of public submissions.
We also support most of the amendments the commit- tee has made to the bill.

They generally restrict search and surveil- lance powers more than the original bill, and improve accountability provisions.

However, the Green Party still considers the bill as a whole to be a major erosion of our civil liberties.

Two striking examples of this are the provisions for Examination and Production Orders.

These violate people’s traditional right to silence, other than when giving evidence in court.
This right is now to be 22 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary violated, not only for those suspected of an offence, but all those spouses, friends, and colleagues of the suspect, in fact anyone who might have some information on the alleged offence.

They will be required to answer questions or produce documents or face the pos- sibility of a term in prison.

We are concerned that Production Orders can be enforced by a range of State agencies other than the police.
While Examination Orders will be more restricted, mainly applying to offences carrying a seven- year prison term, these offences can include such things as intentional damage–charges that have been laid against non-violent dissenters.

If a dissenting group is deemed by police to be an “organised crim- inal group”, as has happened recently, then a warrant for an Exam- ination Order can be granted.
We are also conscious that once this new principle of using Examination Orders in a non-business context is established, the range of qualifying offences can be subsequently expanded.

The Green Party is worried about moves in the direction of a surveil- lance State contained in this bill, with all its provisions for visual and audio surveillance, tracking people, and intercepting their com- munications.
Judges will also be given the power to give warrants for other, as yet untried, surveillance techniques, under what are to be known as “declaratory orders”.

Surveillance using heat or smell detectors have been mentioned as possibly being covered under declaratory orders.

We believe that if the State wishes to use such new forms of surveillance, then a proposal should go before Parlia- ment, rather than the new means simply being authorised by a judge.
The advance of digital technology means that all the mentioned forms of surveillance are now cheaper and easier for the agencies to use, and the targets of surveillance are less likely to find out.

Tracking devices being miniaturised means it is simple to put one under a person’s car, and all of a person’s electronic communications (phone calls, texts, and emails) can be intercepted and checked in their thousands once systems are in place at service providers.
Facial recognition technology can quickly scan photos and videotapes to find out where a target was at a particular point of time.

The Green Party is against allowing warrants for such types of surveillance to be granted to dozens of State agencies.

Most of these State agencies have no independent complaints systems comparable with the Independent Police Conduct Authority.
Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 23 Perhaps the most offensive surveillance warrant is the one allowing State agents to trespass a home and install a covert video camera in a family’s private space.

Serious criminality is not so rampant in this country as to justify such an extreme intrusion on people’s privacy.

We don’t think the assurance that this measure will only apply to higher-level offences is sufficient justification.
It should be noted that this bill explicitly allows this extreme surveillance to apply to thousands of New Zealanders who each year are guilty of minor violations of our gun laws.

This specific power will be able to be provided not only to police, but also to Customs and the Department of Internal Affairs.
Other State agencies which don’t have this most intrusive power will, however, be given the power to covertly tape conversations between their agents and anyone they believe has information relevant to an offence.

While this bill does not give extra agencies the general power to search, it does give many of the agencies a more specified set of powers, including powers that most of these agencies have never used before.
Many agencies are now specifically granted the power to seize com- puters and make a “forensic” copy of the information on them.

We believe that searching through people’s computer files is hugely in- trusive and such a power should not be so widely granted.

So many personal and private activities are now recorded on people’s comput- ers.

While searches are supposed to focus on evidence relating to the charges specified in the warrant, computer searches lay themselves open to abuse.
It is not hard for the “key word” searching of the “forensic copy” of a hard drive to be manipulated to disclose a wide range of information.

It would be hard to stop computer searches be- ing used for “fishing expeditions” particularly when the bill allows the collection and use of evidence on unrelated charges if it comes into “plain view” during a search.

This “plain view” provision doesn’t just apply in computer searches.
It is available to be used by all agencies searching premises and gives them more powers than they have previously had, with a potential for them to be abused.
The Green Party also shares the concern of the Media Freedom Com- mittee, in its submission to the committee, that police searches of media offices might uncover confidential sources before the media 24 Search and Surveillance Bill Commentary organisation had its chance to challenge the seizure of the informa- tion under section 68 of the Evidence Act, which gives journalists a right to protect certain sources.
In summary, the Green Party does not believe the supporters of this Bill have explained why, at this point in our nation’s history, we need to give such extra powers to police and other State agencies, and in the process erode hard-won civil liberties.

New Zealand Labour minority view The Labour Party concurs with the report, with the exception of the proposed regime to allow the police to obtain examination orders and production orders.
Examination and production orders are exceptions to, and override, the right to silence.

They can be used to require a party to answer questions or produce documents.

Police can currently ask questions and obtain and execute search warrants, but witnesses or suspects or those who hold evidence, do not have to answer questions or offer up documents.

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is currently the only State agency with the power to issue examination orders and production orders.
The SFO has taken to using those powers too frequently, rather than relying upon conventional investigation techniques and warranted searches in all but exceptional cases where the use of these orders is justified.

This is an example of how when extra powers are given to an arm of the State that agency can utilise them more frequently than Parliament intended.
In recent weeks the SFO has also used those powers to order the production of documents in the possession of the National Business Review as part of the SFO inquiry into the collapse of South Canterbury Finance.

This concerns us greatly.

The freedom of the press to investigate and report on issues of public interest is an important part of New Zealand’s constitutional settings.

Putting the confidentiality of their sources at risk means that sources will be less willing to confide in them in the future.
This undermines the role of the fourth estate and is to the detriment of the general public.

It shows how careful we need to be before conferring power of this kind to State agencies.

We were unable to include additional controls on SFO powers and processes concerning production or examination orders through this Commentary Search and Surveillance Bill 25 bill because we were advised they were beyond the scope of the cur- rent bill.
The Labour Party enquired of the Government via select committee members and officials whether the Government was willing to tighten the use of production and examination orders by the SFO at the same time as similar powers were being conferred upon the police under this bill.

Officials advised that the Government was not willing to do so.
The recommendations of the committee do tighten the rules applying to the use of examination and production orders by the police com- pared with the form of the bill that came to select committee.

Despite this, the range of offences includes offences with a maximum sentence of 5 years or more in a business context and 7 years or more in a non-business context.

While these are not minor offences, not all are the most serious and the range of offences is broad.
Additionally there are no specific provisions to protect freedom of the press and the confidentiality of their sources.

Unless further restrictions on the use of such power for both the SFO and the police are agreed by the Government, we will oppose this extension of powers to the police.

(3) However, if the thing is seized or produced in relation to more 5 than 1 alleged offence, the person in whose custody the prop- erty is need not release the property until the first of the events described in subsection (1) has occurred in relation to each and every alleged offence.

This section is subject to sections 146 and 156.


10 (4) 145 Copies of things seized or produced If a photograph or a copy of a seized or produced thing will be adequate for investigative or evidential purposes, the person who exercised the search power, or that person’s employer or another person acting on behalf of that person, may, at his 15 or her discretion, return the thing to the owner or to a person entitled to possession.
146 Extension of time for holding thing seized or produced (1) If any person who seizes any thing, or to whom any thing is produced, or any other enforcement officer to whom the thing 20 is transferred, wishes to hold it for a period exceeding 6 months in circumstances where no proceedings for an offence in re- spect of which the thing is relevant have yet been brought and a request has been made for the return of the thing, the person may apply to the District Court for an extension of the time 25 during which the thing may be held.
(2) On an application under subsection (1), the District Court may— (a) (b) order an extension of time be granted to a specified date, to enable a determination to be made whether proceed- 30 ings should be brought; or decline to order an extension of time.
147 Disputed ownership of thing seized or produced (1) If a thing seized or produced is not to be produced in evidence but there is a dispute about its ownership, or it is perishable, or 35 125 Part 4 cl 148 Search and Surveillance Bill for any reason the person in whose custody it is, is uncertain as to to whom the thing should be returned (for example, because it is unclaimed), the person in whose custody the thing is may apply to the District Court for directions as to the ownership or holding of the property.
5 (2) On an application under subsection (1), the District Court may— (a) (b) (c) order that the thing be destroyed or, if any other enact- ment so authorises, forfeited to the Crown: order that the thing be delivered to the person appearing 10 to the court to be its owner entitled to possession of it: if the owner or person entitled to possession cannot be found, make any order with respect to its possession or sale the court thinks fit.
(3) If, after the making of an order under subsection (2) in rela- 15 tion to any property, an action is commenced against a Police employee or other another enforcement officer or the Crown or any law enforcement agency for the recovery of the thing or its value, the order and the delivery of the thing in accordance with the order may be given and must be received in evidence 20 in bar of the action.
(4) However, no such order or delivery affects the right of any persons entitled by law to possession of the thing to recover the thing from any person or body (other than a person or body referred to in subsection (3)).
25 148 Seized or produced property forfeit to the Crown if ownership not established (1) A thing that is seized or produced is forfeited to the Crown the owner or person entitled to possession of the thing 30 is not established within 60 days after the date on which the thing was seized or produced; and the thing— (i) is not, at the expiry of that period, still required for investigative or evidential purposes; and has not been disposed of or sold by order of the court within that period.

(b) (c) 5 Rights of owners and others in relation to things seized or produced 149 Application for release of or access to things seized or 15 (1) (2) produced The persons described in subsection (2) may apply, by writ- ten notice, to the person in whose custody the a seized or pro- duced thing is for the release of or access to it at any time be- fore proceedings are brought for an alleged offence in respect 20 of which the thing was seized or produced.

(b) (c) (3) The person in whose custody the seized or produced thing is may release the thing to the applicant or provide reasonable 30 access to it.
(4) A person who receives an application for release of a thing, or access to it, may refuse that application on the ground that release of the thing or, as the case requires, access to it, is likely to prejudice the maintenance of the law.

35 (5) A release or provision of access to a thing may be— (a) unconditional; or 127 Part 4 cl 150 Search and Surveillance Bill (b) under bond for a sum (with or without sureties), and on conditions, acceptable to the person in whose custody the thing was is.
(6) If any person refuses an application under subsection (1), he or she must inform the applicant of the decision in writing.
5 150 Failure to comply with bond or conditions (1) If a person to whom a seized or produced thing is released or who is given access to it under section 149 fails to comply with any bond, surety, or condition imposed under subsec- tion (5)(b) of that section,— (a) 10 the thing may be seized again, or required to be pro- duced, or the ability to access the thing ended at the di- rection of the person who released it or provided access to it; and the person who released it or provided access to it may 15 apply to the District Court for an order for estreat of the bond.
(b) (2) (3) If any person applies for an order for estreat of the bond, the Registrar of the District Court must— (a) fix a time and place for the hearing of the application; 20 and not less than 7 days before the time fixed, cause to be served on every person bound by the bond a notice of the time and place for the hearing.
(b) If the District Court is satisfied that a condition of the bond 25 has not been complied with, the court may make an order to estreat the bond— (a) (b) in the amount that it thinks fit; and to any person bound by the bond on whom notice is proved to have been served under subsection (2).

30 (4) An amount payable under subsection (3) is recoverable as if it were a fine.
151 Application to District Court for access to thing seized or produced (1) A person described in section 149(2) may apply to the Dis- 35 trict Court for access to any thing seized by a person exercising 128 Search and Surveillance Bill Part 4 cl 152 a search power or produced to any person under a production order if the person has made an application under section 149 and it— (a) (b) has been refused; or has been granted, but subject to conditions that the ap- 5 plicant does not accept.
The District Court may either— (a) (b) grant the application; or refuse it on the ground that allowing the person to have access to the thing or varying or cancelling the condi- 10 tions concerned is likely to prejudice the maintenance of the law.

The District Court may require sureties and impose conditions if it grants an application under subsection (2), and sections 149 and 150 apply with any necessary modifications.
15 (2) (3) 152 Application to District Court for release of thing seized or produced (2) (1) A person described in section 149(2) may apply to the Dis- trict Court for the release of any thing seized by a person ex- ercising a search power or produced to a person under a pro- 20 duction order.

(3) A court may require sureties and impose conditions on a release under subsection (2), and sections 149 and 150 35 apply with any necessary modifications.

129 Part 4 cl 153 Search and Surveillance Bill (4) This section is subject to any enactment that requires an amount of any kind to be paid before any seized thing may be returned.
153 Disposal of unlawful items (1) Subsection (2) applies if a thing is seized or produced, the 5 possession of which by the person from whom it was seized or who was required to produce it is unlawful under New Zealand law (for example, a controlled drug that is found in the pos- session of a member of the public in circumstances in which possession by the person of the controlled drug is an offence 10 against the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975), and— (a) there is no mechanism provided for disposing of the thing or it has not been disposed of under any other enactment; and no order has been made by a court as to its disposal.
(b) If this subsection applies, the person who seized the thing or to whom the thing was produced may destroy it if— (a) notice is given to the person from whom the thing was seized or who was required to produce the thing, and that person either— (i) (ii) consents to its destruction; or does not within 30 working days object to its destruction; or 15 20 (2) (b) (c) the person to whom notice would otherwise be given under paragraph (a) cannot be located after reasonable 25 inquiries have been made; or in a case where a person objects to the destruction of the thing within 30 working days of receiving a notice under paragraph (a) and any person applies to a court to determine the status of the thing, the court is satis- 30 fied that the possession of the thing by the person from whom it was seized or who was required to produce it is unlawful under New Zealand law.
154 Disposal of forensic copies (1) A person who makes a forensic copy of any data held in a com- 35 puter system or other data storage device must, if he or she de- termines that the data does not contain any evidential material, 130 Search and Surveillance Bill Part 4 cl 156 ensure that the forensic copy and any copies made from that copy are deleted, erased, or otherwise destroyed in a way that prevents retrieval of the copy or copies by any method.
(2) However, if an examination of the data shows that it contains a mixture of data that is evidential material and data that is not 5 evidential material,— (a) the forensic copy of the data and any copies made of that copy may be retained in their entirety; and that forensic copy and any copies made of that copy may continue to be searched, if such a search was authorised 10 by the search power under which the data was seized and copied.
(b) 155 Other copies and generated material may be retained (1) Any thing made or generated by a person exercising a search or surveillance power (for example, photographs or audio or 15 video recordings or copies of things) may be retained as part of the permanent records of the employer of the person who exercises the search or surveillance power.

Subsection (1) is subject to sections 56A and 130, and any other enactment or rule of law.
20 (2) 156 Application to District Court to dispose of seized property (1) Any person who seizes any thing, or to whom any thing is produced, or any other enforcement officer to whom the thing is transferred, may apply to a District Court for an order that the thing be disposed of (by sale or otherwise) in the manner, 25 and at a time, that the court may direct if,— in the applicant’s opinion,— (a) (i) the thing concerned is perishable or likely to de- teriorate; or the cost of holding the thing is unreasonable hav- 30 ing regard to its market value; and (ii) (b) he or she the applicant has made reasonable efforts to advise the people described in section 149(2) of the intended application.
(2) The court may grant the order if it is satisfied that— (a) the thing is perishable or likely to deteriorate; or 35 131 Part 4 cl 157 Search and Surveillance Bill (b) the cost to the applicant or his or her employer, or to any other person to whom the thing might be transferred, of holding it is unreasonable having regard to its market value.
The applicant or his or her employer must hold in custody any 5 proceeds received from carrying out the order (less any deduc- tions permitted under subsection (4)) as if the proceeds were the seized property, and section 144(1) applies accordingly, with any necessary modifications.
The deductions referred to in subsection (3) are, in a case in 10 which the court orders that the thing be disposed of by sale, the costs of sale and any sums required to be paid to a security holder or other person as a condition of the order for sale.

If the court refuses the order, the applicant or his or her em- ployer or another person to whom the thing is transferred must 15 continue to hold the thing until it is released in accordance with section 144(2).
