23  When authorisations are in force
 (1) An authorisation given by an authorising officer under Division 2 is in force until:
 (a) it is spent; or
 (b) it lapses.

When authorisation is spent
 (2) An authorisation is spent when the continuous exercise of powers under the authorisation ends.
Note: The continuous exercise of powers does not end only because there is a period of time between the exercise of one or more of those powers: see section 11.

When authorisation lapses
 (3) An authorisation lapses if powers have not been exercised under the authorisation within 72 hours after it is given.
