Warrantless public-place searches permit authorised officers to arrest persons reasonably suspected of committing information technology offences.

Warrantless entry, search and arrest powers permit specified police and authorised government officers to act in public places where a person is reasonably suspected of involvement in an information technology offence. Public places include conveyances, hotels, shops, and other publicly accessible locations. A non-police officer making an arrest must promptly take or send the arrested person before the jurisdictional magistrate or police-station officer in charge, with criminal procedure provisions applying subject to these requirements.
