- Supreme Court
The undercover officer was not a trespasser because the common‑law implied licence to approach a dwelling to make reasonable enquiries includes the ordinary and reasonable taking of photographic/video records of what the officer sees; therefore the contested video evidence was not improperly obtained under s 30(5) Evidence Act 2006 and is admissible. Appeal dismissed.
