Use of evidence or information for purposes of Act
39Y Use of evidence or information for purposes of Act
Despite any other Act or law, evidence or information obtained by the lawful exercise of powers under an Act or law (whether before or after the commencement of this section) and evidence or information obtained incidentally to such an exercise of powers—
may be used by law enforcement and prosecution authorities for the purposes of this Act; and
is not inadmissible in proceedings before a court under this Act merely because the evidence or information was not obtained for the purposes of this Act.
Despite any other Act or law, information (whether obtained before or after the commencement of this section) properly classified by the
Commissioner as criminal intelligence—
may be used by law enforcement and prosecution authorities for the purposes of this Act; and
may be admitted in evidence or otherwise used in proceedings under this Act.
No civil or criminal liability lies against a person in respect of any use of evidence or information permitted by this section.
