When a police detention decision starts and ceases to have effect
13AF When a police detention decision starts and ceases to have effect
S. 13AF inserted by No. 32/2018 s. 9.
A police detention decision in relation to a person starts to have effect when it is made.
Note
When a police detention decision starts to have effect it authorises the person to be taken into custody and detained under this Part (see section 13AB). The period for which the person may be detained only starts to run when the person is first taken into custody or detained under this Part (see section 13AH).
A police detention decision in relation to a person ceases to have effect—
at the end of the period of 48 hours after the decision is made if the person has not been taken into custody under the order within that period; or
when the person's detention under this Part ends under Division 9.
