(1) A thing found at the ^* premises may be moved to another place for examination or processing in order to determine whether it may be seized under a ^* search warrant if:

(a)

both of the following apply:

(i)

there are reasonable grounds to believe that the thing contains or constitutes ^* tainted property or ^* evidential material;

(ii)

it is significantly more practicable to do so having regard to the timeliness and cost of examining or processing the thing at another place and the availability of expert assistance; or

(b)

the occupier of the premises consents in writing.

(2) The thing may be moved to another place for examination or processing for no longer than 72 hours. (3) An ^* executing officer may apply to a magistrate for an extension of that time if the officer believes on reasonable grounds that the thing cannot be examined or processed within 72 hours. (4) The ^* executing officer must give notice of the application to the occupier of ^* premises, and the occupier is entitled to be heard in relation to the application. (5) If a thing is moved to another place under subsection (1), the ^* executing officer must, if it is practicable to do so:

(a)

inform the occupier of the address of the place and the time at which the examination or processing will be carried out; and

(b)

allow the occupier or his or her representative to be present during the examination or processing.
