258B Information to be provided—authorised officers carrying out identification tests
Before an authorised officer carries out an identification test on a person for the purposes of section 257A, the authorised officer must inform the person of such matters as are prescribed.
For the purposes of subsection (1), the authorised officer informs the person of a matter if the authorised officer informs the person of the matter, through an interpreter if necessary, in a language (including sign language or braille) in which the person is able to communicate with reasonable fluency.
The authorised officer may comply with this section by giving to the person, in accordance with the regulations, a form setting out the information specified in the regulations. However, the information must be in a language (including braille) in which the person is able to communicate with reasonable fluency.
