192C Possession of identification information
S. 192C inserted by No. 22/2009 s. 3.
A person, who possesses identification information (that is not identification information that relates to the person), and—
who is aware that, or aware that there is a substantial risk that, the information is identification information; and
who intends to use the information to commit an indictable offence, or to facilitate the commission of an indictable offence—
is guilty of an offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 3 years.
A person may be found guilty of an offence against this section even if the commission of the indictable offence is impossible.
It is not a defence to a charge for an offence against this section that the person to whom the identification information relates consented to the possession of the identification information.
