10. Circumstances for search without warrant

Whenever it appears to any senior officer that there is reasonable cause to believe that in or on any premises there is concealed, kept, deposited or stored, in contravention of the provisions of this Act, any illicit samsu, manufacturing apparatus, book or document as is described in subsection 9(1) and he has good ground for believing that by reason of the delay in obtaining a search warrant the object of the search is likely to be frustrated, he may exercise in, upon and in respect of the premises all the powers mentioned in section 9 in as full and ample a manner as if he had been so empowered by warrant.

Any proper officer may stop and search, and seize if necessary, any conveyance which he has reasonable ground for believing to be used for the carriage of any illicit samsu, manufacturing apparatus or any other thing liable to forfeiture under this Act.
