General power to require further attendance
518 General power to require further attendance
This section applies if a person attends at a stated place as required by an order, requirement or direction (original direction) to have a forensic procedure performed on the person and a police officer considers it is not reasonably practicable to perform the forensic procedure because—
a qualified person who may perform the procedure is not available to perform the procedure; or
equipment required to perform the procedure is not available at the place; or
for another reason it is impracticable to perform the procedure.
A police officer may direct the person (later direction) to attend the place or another place for the performance of the relevant forensic procedure at a stated reasonable time on a stated reasonable day.
A later direction has effect as an extension of the original direction.
