CRIME AND CORRUPTION ACT 2001 - SECT 112
Receipt for seized property
112 Receipt for seized property
(1) If a commission officer seizes anything under this chapter, other than
under a covert search warrant, the officer must, as soon as is reasonably
practicable after seizing the thing— (a) if the person from whom it is
seized is present—give to the person a receipt for the thing; or
(b)
otherwise—leave a receipt for the thing in a conspicuous place.
(2) The
receipt must describe the thing seized and include any other information
required under a regulation.
(3) However, if the officer reasonably suspects
giving the person the receipt may frustrate or otherwise hinder the
investigation or another investigation, the officer may delay complying with
subsection (1) , but only for so long as— (a) the officer continues to have
the reasonable suspicion; and
(b) the officer or another officer involved in
the investigation remains in the vicinity of the place to keep it under
observation.
(4) Also, this section does not apply if the officer reasonably
believes there is no-one apparently in possession of the thing or the thing
has been abandoned.
(5) The officer must ensure the details of the search and
anything seized are recorded in the warrants register.
