If you look at the law, you will see a section called section 25. This section is about when the police can search you or your things without a warrant. They can do this if they think you have broken a rule in the Crimes Act 1961, specifically section 78. Now, they can also do this if they think you have broken section 78AA of the Crimes Act 1961. You can find more information about the Crimes Act 1961 on the New Zealand legislation website. The police have to follow the rules when they search you or your things, and these rules are in section 25 of the law.
