Part 4General provisions in relation to search, surveillance, and inspection powers
Carrying out search powers
115Limitation on exercise of powers
The powers conferred by sections 110 to 114 are subject to—
- any conditions imposed under section 103(3)(b) by an issuing officer who issues a search warrant:
- subpart 5 of this Part (which relates to privilege and confidentiality).
The powers conferred by section 118(1) to detain a person may only be exercised by a person who has power to arrest the person to be detained—
- for a suspected offence to which the search relates; or
- for a suspected offence to which evidential material that is discovered in the course of the search relates.
To avoid doubt, the powers conferred by sections 110(c) and 113(2)(b) do not authorise the application of force to any person.
