South Australian Current Acts South Australian Current Acts66ZC—Police officer to give notice before exercising powers under
Division
(1) Before the powers
to search persons pursuant to a particular declaration under this Division are
exercised, a police officer must, unless it is not reasonably practicable to
do so in the circumstances, notify the prescribed person or persons in respect
of the relevant place or public transport vehicle of—
(a) the
terms of the declaration (including the period during which the declaration is
in force); and
(b) the
intention to search persons pursuant to the declaration during specified
times, or during a specified period.
(2) To avoid doubt, a
police officer need only notify the prescribed person or persons once in
relation to each declaration.
(3) However, a failure
to comply with subsection (1) does not, of itself, invalidate the
exercise or purported exercise of a power under this Division.
(4) In this
section—
"prescribed person", in respect of a place or public transport vehicle,
means—
(a) in
the case of licensed premises—the licensee or a responsible person for
the licensed premises under the Liquor Licensing Act 1997 ; or
(b) in
the case of a declared public event—the organiser of the event; or
(c) in
the case of a declared shopping precinct—the person or persons
prescribed by the regulations in respect of a shopping precinct of the
relevant kind; or
(d) in
the case of a declared public transport hub or declared public
transport service—the person or persons prescribed by the regulations in
respect of a hub or service of the relevant kind; or
(e) in
any other case—the person or persons prescribed by the regulations.
