Yes, this legislation either seems to have been written by people who just want overly broad powers they'll use in a technically sound way, or by people who have no understanding of computer forensics.
The way it's written makes it sound like the officers would be rifling through the computers and phones on site trying passwords they've found, themselves, or standing over the shoulder of people being forced to do so. It specifically talks about forcing someone to make information "visible and legible" and about copying documents, rather than just making forensically secure images of devices.
