I'd like to go to section 488.02 of the Criminal Code. The bill refers to documents and says:

Any document obtained pursuant to a warrant, authorization or order issued under subsection 488.01(3) is to be placed in a packet and sealed by the court

How is it that the authorities come to acquire a document in the first place? How do they know a document exists unless the article which the journalist has written refers specifically to it?
