Urine or saliva sample where drug use suspected
69 Urine or saliva sample where drug use suspected
On forming a suspicion that a detainee—
has been administered (whether by himself or herself or otherwise) with a drug, or
is under the influence of a drug,
a juvenile justice officer may require the detainee to supply a sample of urine or saliva or both for testing and give directions as to how the sample is to be supplied.
The directions may require the detainee to comply with directions given by a juvenile justice officer as to how the sample is to be supplied.
A urine or saliva test must be carried out by a government analyst.
In any proceedings for misbehaviour that are being dealt with by the centre manager, being proceedings in which it is alleged that a urine or saliva sample was required under this clause, a certificate signed by a juvenile justice officer to the effect that such a requirement was made for a specific detainee, or for all detainees of a specified class, is admissible in evidence of the facts so certified.
