34  Use of equipment to examine or process things
 (1) The warrant team may bring to the warrant premises any equipment reasonably necessary for examining or processing things found at the premises to see whether they may be seized under the warrant.
 (2) If:
 (a) it is not practicable to examine or process the things at the warrant premises; or
 (b) the occupier of the premises consents in writing;
the things may be moved to another place so that the examination or processing can be carried out.
 (3) If things containing electronically stored information are moved to another place under subsection (2), the national inspector executing the warrant must, if practicable:
 (a) tell the occupier the place and the time at which the examination or processing will be carried out; and
 (b) allow the occupier or his or her representative to be present during the examination or processing.
 (4) The warrant team may operate equipment already at the warrant premises to carry out the examination or processing of a thing found at the premises to see whether it may be seized under the warrant if a member of the warrant team believes, on reasonable grounds, that:
 (a) the equipment is suitable for the examination or processing; and
 (b) the examination or processing can be carried out without damage to the equipment or the thing.
