suspects— (a) a thing at or about a place, or in the possession of a person
at or about a place, is evidence of the commission of major crime being
investigated by the commission; and
(b) unless the place is immediately
entered and searched— (i) the evidence may be concealed or destroyed; or
(ii) the forensic value of the evidence may be diminished.

commission officer may enter the place and exercise search warrant powers,
other than power to do something that may cause structural damage to a
building, at the place as if they were conferred under a search warrant.
