this section in relation to premises.

(2) Subject to subsection (3), the magistrate may issue the warrant if the

hours, in or on the premises a particular thing (in this section called the

"evidence") that may afford evidence of the commission of an offence against
this Act.

(3) The magistrate must not issue the warrant unless the authorised person or
