You have powers under the Fisheries Act 1996. The Search and Surveillance Act 2012 applies to these powers. It tells you what you can and can't do when searching or questioning someone. You can find more information in Part 4 of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012, but some parts don't apply. These are subparts 2 and 3, section 119, and subpart 8 for some powers. For other powers, subparts 3 and 8 don't apply. The Search and Surveillance Act 2012 is available on the New Zealand legislation website https://legislation.govt.nz/act/public/2012/0024/latest.
