Procedure for retention notices
72 Procedure for retention notices
A retention notice:
(a) must be given in writing to the owner, or person apparently in control, of the thing to which it relates; and
(b) must state that it is an offence to move or interfere with the thing without the approval of an authorised officer.
A person commits an offence if:
the person intentionally engages in conduct; and
(b) the conduct results in the contravention of a retention notice and the person has knowledge of the result.
Maximum penalty: 100 penalty units.
(3) If the ICAC subsequently determines that a thing to which a retention notice relates should be seized, an authorised officer may:
(a) without warrant, enter and remain on the premises where the thing is reasonably suspected to be located, for the purpose of seizing the thing; and
exercise any of the powers in section 71 for that purpose.
