Power of Commissioner to authorise unclamping
37ZLA Power of Commissioner to authorise unclamping
The Commissioner may give a police officer or other person approval to unclamp a vehicle (an "unclamping approval") – at the end of the authorised period of clamping; or at any other time if the Commissioner considers it necessary or expedient to do so under or for the purposes of this Division.
An unclamping approval may be given subject to such technical, time, reporting and other conditions as the Commissioner thinks fit.
A police officer executing an unclamping approval may, unless it expressly provides otherwise, without warrant and using such reasonable force, means and assistance as is necessary, enter any place where the police officer reasonably suspects that the vehicle to be unclamped may be located.
The Commissioner's power under subsection (1) is not capable of being exercised inconsistently with a judicial determination or an express provision of this Division.
