Enforcement officers' powers and orders - Production orders

78: Documents produced under production order

You could also call this:

"What happens to documents you give to police because of a court order"

When you produce a document because of a production order, the enforcement officer who asked for the order can do some things. They can keep the original document if it helps with their investigation. They can also make copies of the document or parts of it. If needed, they can ask you to help make the information in the document usable, or they can ask someone else to help do this.
