Without seeking to create any defences, in terms of evidence obtained through a late notification warrant, the warrant would have to be obtained according to the law. That would obviously be a starting point if the admissibility of the evidence was to be challenged. It would be a starting point whether or not a person was standing there observing the execution of the warrant. With the greatest respect, Senator Nettle, all I am saying is that I think you are seeking to jump at shadows because you do not like the authoritative nature of the powers that police have.
