The right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure is well-recognised by the international human rights community. Section 21 of the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990 (NZBoRA 1990) incorporates this right into New Zealand law, stating that: "Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure, whether of the person, property, or correspondence or otherwise." An analysis of whether an unreasonable search of seizure has occurred under section 21 is a two-step process of asking: 1. * Was there a search or seizure? 2. * Was the search or seizure unreasonable?
