Illustration for Search and Surveillance Act 2012

You can get a search warrant if a constable applies for one. The constable must follow the rules in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. An issuing officer can give the warrant if they think someone is breaking the law. You can find more information about this in the Search and Surveillance Act 2012. Most of Part 4 of this Act applies to search warrants. Some parts do not apply, like subparts 2, 5, 6, and 8.
