When infringement notice may be given
211 When infringement notice may be given
If an officer or a police officer reasonably believes a person has committed an infringement notice offence, the officer or police officer may give a notice (an infringement notice) to the person.
Subregulation (3) applies if the infringement notice offence is an offence of possessing shopgoods fireworks other than during an approved period.
The officer or police officer may advise the person that, as an alternative to the officer or police officer giving the person an infringement notice for the offence, the person may elect to surrender the shopgoods fireworks for destruction.
If the person elects in accordance with subregulation (3) to surrender the shopgoods fireworks for destruction, the officer or police officer must not give the person an infringement notice in relation to the offence of possessing the fireworks.
