(a) examine the device to which the order applies, and any
data accessible from the device, to determine whether the device is a
dedicated encrypted criminal communication device, and
(b) direct the
relevant person for the order to give the officer any information or
assistance that is reasonable and necessary to enable the officer to access
data held in or accessible from a device specified in, or within the scope of,
the order.
(2) Without limiting subsection (1)(b), the executing officer may
require the relevant person to provide reasonable and necessary assistance in
accessing data on a computer that is secured by biometric means, including,
for example, fingerprints or retina scans.
(3) To avoid doubt--
(a)
information provided by a relevant person under subsection (1) to access data
held in or accessible from a device may be used only for that purpose and no
other purpose, and
(b) this section is subject to any other provision of this
Act or another Act that provides for how a police officer may take particulars
that are necessary to identify a person.
Note--: See, for example, Part 10,
which provides for taking of identification particulars from persons in
custody and other offenders, including section 136, which provides for
identification particulars of children under 14 years.
