32  The things that are authorised by a search warrant
 (1) A warrant in force in relation to premises authorises the warrant team:
 (a) to enter the warrant premises and, if the premises are a conveyance, to enter the conveyance, whatever it is; and
 (b) to search the premises for the kinds of evidential material specified in the warrant, and to seize things of those kinds found at the premises; and
 (c) to seize other things found at the premises in the course of the search that a member of the warrant team believes on reasonable grounds to be:
 (i) evidential material in relation to an offence to which the warrant relates; or
 (ii) evidential material in relation to another offence against this Act;
  if the member of the warrant team believes on reasonable grounds that seizure of the things is necessary to prevent their concealment, loss or destruction or their use in committing an offence.
 (2) If the warrant states that it may be executed only during particular hours, the warrant must not be executed outside those hours.
 (3) If things are seized under a warrant, the warrant authorises the national inspector executing the warrant to make the things available to officers of other agencies if it is necessary to do so for the purpose of investigating or prosecuting an offence against this Act to which the things relate.
 (4) A power mentioned in this section or in section 30, 33, 34 or 35 may only be exercised in a way that the national inspector believes, on reasonable grounds, to be in accordance with safety procedures applicable at the premises.
