- High Court
Sergeant Burrell had objectively reasonable grounds under s29 SSA to search the vehicle given the recent report of theft, the appellant having driven the person seen taking the light and the appellant's inconsistent account; the incidental detention was authorised by s118; the search did not breach s21 NZBORA; the evidence was not improperly obtained and was therefore admissible; leave to appeal was refused and the appeal dismissed.
