33: Requirements when executing warrant

You could also call this:

"Rules for police when searching a place with a special paper called a warrant"

When a warrant is being executed, you need to follow the rules. A warrant is a special paper that lets someone enter a place. The rules for executing a warrant are set out in a law that has been repealed, which means it is no longer in force, and was repealed by the Search and Surveillance Act 2012 on 1 October 2012. You can find more information about this in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. The law that was repealed is no longer used.
