176 Receipt for seized things
(1)
After an authorised officer seizes a thing, the officer must give a receipt for it to the person from whom it was seized.
(2)
However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1), the officer must leave the receipt at the place of seizure in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way.
(3)
The receipt must describe generally each thing seized and its condition.
(4)
This section does not apply to a thing if it is impracticable or would be unreasonable to give the receipt, given the thing’s nature, condition and value.
