In executing a warrant, an authorised officer executing the warrant and a person assisting the authorised officer may use such force against a thing as is necessary and reasonable in the circumstances if:
(a) the person (if any) apparently in charge of the thing has been given a reasonable opportunity to open, move or otherwise deal with the thing; or
(b) it is not possible to give that person such an opportunity.
Note: This section does not authorise the use of force against a person.
