Safeguards for oral directions or requirements—police officers
633 Safeguards for oral directions or requirements—police officers
This section applies if a police officer gives someone an oral direction or makes an oral requirement under this Act.
If the person fails to comply with the direction or requirement, a police officer must, if practicable, warn the person—
it is an offence to fail to comply with the direction or requirement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse; and
the person may be arrested for the offence.
The police officer must give the person a further reasonable opportunity to comply with the direction or requirement.
Also, if the direction is a move on direction relating to a designated business and community precinct, the police officer must warn the person that failing to comply with the direction may result in the person being given a police banning notice under section 602C.
