directed to any police officer of or above the rank of Inspector,
empower the officer to enter the premises, by force if necessary, and
there to search for, seize and detain any such evidence and he shall
be entitled to—
(a) have access to any program or data held in any computer, or
have access to, inspect or check the operation of, any
computer and any associated apparatus or material which he
has reasonable cause to suspect is or has been in use in
connection with any offence under this Act;
(b) require—
(i) the person by whom or on whose behalf the police
officer has reasonable cause to suspect the computer
is or has been so used; or
(ii) any person having charge of or otherwise concerned
with the operation of, the computer, apparatus or
material,
to provide him with such reasonable assistance as he may
require for the purposes of paragraph (a); and
(c) require any information contained in a computer and
accessible from the premises to be produced in a form in
which it can be taken away and in which it is visible and
legible.
(2) Whenever it appears to any police officer of or above the rank
of Inspector that there is reasonable cause to believe that in any
premises there is concealed or deposited any evidence of the
commission of an offence under this Act, and the police officer has
reasonable grounds for believing that by reason of the delay in
obtaining a search warrant the object of the search is likely to be
frustrated, he may exercise in and in respect of the premises all the
powers mentioned in subsection (1) in as full and ample a measure as
if he were empowered to do so by warrant issued under that
subsection.
