South Australian Current Acts South Australian Current Acts79—Arrest without warrant if warrant has been issued
(1) A police officer
may, without a warrant, take into custody a person whom the officer has
reasonable cause for believing or suspecting to be a person for whose
apprehension or commitment a warrant has been issued by a justice.
(2) If a police
officer, without a warrant, takes into custody a person whom the officer has
reasonable cause for believing or suspecting to be a person for whose
committal a warrant has been issued by a justice, the officer must, as soon as
reasonably practicable, deliver that person into the custody of the police
officer in charge of the nearest police station and must, as soon as
conveniently may be, produce or cause to be produced to the person taken into
custody the warrant of commitment (if any), and the person must then be dealt
with as required by the warrant.
(3) If a person taken
into custody is in need of medical treatment before being delivered as
required under this section, the requirement to deliver the person as soon as
reasonably practicable does not prevent the immediate provision of necessary
medical treatment.
