Search and seizure authority permits entry, inspection, seizure and electronic record access under a statutory warrant for investigations. A warrant of authority empowers authorised officers to enter and search specified premises or conveyances, break open locks, search persons, and seize books of account or other documents relevant to a securities-related investigation. It covers inspection and seizure of records maintained as electronic record, authorises taking possession, marking, copying, and recording statements on oath, and permits requisitioning police or other government officers to assist. Occupants have rights to inspect the signed warrant, verify identities, attend the search, receive seizure memos, and obtain copies or extracts of seized materials.
