Passenger Transport Act 2014

This clause applies if a transport safety investigator believes on reasonable grounds that—

information or other material that is relevant to a transport safety investigation is in or on rolling stock, a ferry or a bus, and

it is necessary to exercise other functions under this Part in order to prevent the information or material from being removed from this State or from being interfered with or to prevent its concealment, loss, deterioration or destruction.

The transport safety investigator may stop and detain the rolling stock, bus or ferry for the purpose of exercising those other functions. The transport safety investigator may do so with such assistance, and using such force, as is necessary and reasonable.

The transport safety investigator must not detain the rolling stock, bus or ferry for longer than is necessary and reasonable to exercise those other functions.
