Section 42: Power to require production of documents, etc
This section enables a relevant enforcement officer, when searching a vehicle or vessel (with or without a warrant) or any premises (under a warrant), to require any person in the vehicle or vessel or on the premises to produce any document or record that is in the person's possession or control. The power is so defined as to extend to requiring a person to produce information held in electronic form, for example on a computer, so that it can be read. Such an examination may assist in providing additional evidence of criminal conduct, for example spreadsheets detailing various trades and supplies.
