Production or display of identity card
171 Production or display of identity card
In exercising a power under this Act in relation to another person, an authorised person must—
produce the authorised person’s identity card for the other person’s inspection before exercising the power; or
have the identity card displayed so it is clearly visible to the other person when exercising the power.
However, if it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1), the authorised person must produce the identity card for the other person’s inspection at the first reasonable opportunity.
For subsection (1), an authorised person does not exercise a power in relation to another person only because the authorised person has entered a place as mentioned in section 175(1)(b) or (2).
