thing relevant to an offence against this Act, the inspector may seize that
thing if he or she suspects, on reasonable grounds, that:

   (a)  it is necessary to seize it in order to prevent its concealment, loss
        or destruction; and

   (b)  it is necessary to seize it without the authority of a search warrant
        because the circumstances are serious and urgent.

        reasonable to search it and any container found in or on the
        conveyance; and

   (d)  may use such force as is necessary and reasonable in the
        circumstances, but must not damage the conveyance or any container
        found in or on the conveyance by forcing open a part of the conveyance
        or container unless:

        (i)    the person (if any) apparently in charge of the conveyance has
               been given a reasonable opportunity to open that part or
               container; or

        the purposes of a prosecution; the Magistrate may order that the
        inspector may retain the thing for a period specified in the order.

"(3) Before making the application, the inspector must:

   (a)  take reasonable steps to discover who has an interest in the retention
        of the thing; and

   (a)  an action is brought under subsection (1); and

   (b)  the court finds that the specimen was used or otherwise involved in
        the commission of the offence concerned; the court must order the
        specimen to be forfeited to the Commonwealth.

"(4) If:

   (a)  an action is brought under subsection (1); and

        the foreign country that the specimen may be returned to the foreign
        country without contravening such a law; the Designated Authority may,
        with the consent of the owner of the specimen, consign the specimen to
        a place in the foreign country. "(2) The consignment is to be at the
        expense of the owner of the specimen. Release of specimen

specimen was seized, either:

   (a)  unconditionally; or

   (b)  on such conditions as the Designated Authority thinks fit (including
        conditions about the giving of security for payment of its value if it
        is forfeited). Retention of specimen

specimen-the giving of the notice;   (c) if an application is made
under subsection 69D(1) in relation to the specimen-the making of a decision
on that application;

        relation to the specimen-the termination of the proceedings (including
        any appeal to any court in relation to those proceedings). However,
        this rule does not authorise the retention of the specimen if the
        owner of the specimen succeeds in an action under subsection 69E(1)
        for the delivery of the specimen to the owner. Nor does this rule
        require the return of the specimen if proceedings under subsection
        69E(1) relating to the specimen are pending. Forfeiture of specimen
        after end of retention period

        specimen.

during which the inspector is entitled to retain particular goods seized under
section 69M.

"(3) If the Magistrate is satisfied that the retention of the goods for an
extended period is warranted, the Magistrate may make an order extending the
period during which the goods may be retained. The maximum period of an
individual extension is 30 days.

"(4) Subsection (3) does not prevent a Magistrate from granting 2 or more
successive extensions under that subsection of the period during which
