PROCEEDS OF CRIME ACT 1991 NO 103 (REPEALED) - SECT 67

    (1)         A police officer may—

        (a)     enter on land, or on or into premises; and

        (b)     search the land or premises for any property-tracking document in relation to an indictable offence; and

        (c)     seize any document found in the course of the search that the police officer believes, on reasonable grounds, to be a property-tracking document in relation to an indictable offence;

but only if the entry, search or seizure, as the case may be, is made—

        (d)     with the consent of the occupier of the land or premises; or

        (e)     under a warrant issued under section 68.

    (2)         Where a police officer obtains the consent of the occupier to enter on land, or on or into premises, under subsection (1), the police officer shall ask the occupier to sign a written acknowledgment—

        (a)     that the occupier has been informed that he or she may refuse to consent; and

        (b)     that the occupier has consented; and

        (c)     of the day on which, and the time at which, the occupier consented.

    (3)         Where it is material, in any proceedings, for a court to be satisfied that an occupier has consented to the entry of land or premises by a police officer under subsection (1) and an acknowledgment in accordance with subsection (2) signed by the occupier is not produced in evidence, it shall be presumed that the occupier did not consent, but that presumption is rebuttable.
