Part V Summary of issues

44   It seems to us that the issues that this paper gives rise to are these:

1. Should some powers of entry onto land be subject to such a set of rules as we recommend in paragraph 11?
2. Does Group 1 of appendix A identify correctly the powers that should be subject to those rules?
3. Should a different set of powers of entry onto land be subject to the rules that we describe in paragraph 12?
4. If yes, does Group 2 of appendix A identify correctly the powers that should be subject to that set of rules?
5. Should the measures listed in Group 3 of appendix A be repealed or revoked?
6. Should the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 section 93 be amended in the manner discussed in paragraph A42 in appendix A?
7. Should the Crimes Act 1961 section 317 be amended in the manner that we discuss in paragraph 21?
8. Should the definition of the offences in respect of which a search warrant may be issued under the Summary Proceedings Act 1957 section 198 be amended along the lines proposed in paragraph 22 or in some other way?
9. Should the common law power to seize items as evidence otherwise than on arrest be replaced by some such statutory power as discussed in paragraphs 24–26?
10. Should the powers of search and seizure on arrest be amended in the way discussed in paragraphs 27–29?
11. Should there be such a general warrant power as discussed in paragraph 30?
12. Should the Misuse of Drugs Act 1975 be overhauled in the manner discussed in paragraphs 32–35?
13. Should there be some such amendment to the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 section 21 as we discuss in Part IV?
