Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000

The commissioner must take reasonable steps to ensure that an image of a person taken for a banning order is destroyed as soon as reasonably practicable after the day the banning order no longer has effect.

However, if a relevant proceeding has started in relation to the person, the image must be destroyed as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of the period for appeal of a decision from the proceeding.

Subsection (1) does not prevent an image being attached to another banning order, if the image has not been destroyed under this section.

In this section—relevant proceeding, in relation to a person named in a banning order, means—

a proceeding for an offence committed, or alleged to have been committed, by the person arising from the circumstances that led to the giving of the order; or

a proceeding for an offence under section 602W relating to the banning order.
