Arrest without warrant
23 Arrest without warrant
An inspector may, without warrant, arrest a person if the inspector reasonably believes—
that the person has committed an offence against section 13 or the regulations; and
that proceedings against the person by summons would not be effective.
If an inspector (other than a police officer who is in uniform) arrests a person under subsection (1), the inspector must—
in the case of an inspector who is a police officer—produce, for inspection by the person arrested, written evidence of the fact that the inspector is a police officer; or
in any other case—produce the inspector's identity card for inspection by the person arrested.
If a person is arrested under subsection (1), an inspector must immediately bring the person, or cause the person to be brought, before a Justice of the Peace or other proper authority to be dealt with in accordance with law.
Nothing in this section prevents the arrest of a person in accordance with any other law.
