Summary explaining police detention decision to be given to detained person
13AK Summary explaining police detention decision to be given to detained person
S. 13AK inserted by No. 32/2018 s. 9.
As soon as practicable after a person is first taken into custody or detained under section 13AH, the police officer who is detaining the person under that section must give the person a written summary of the grounds on which the police detention decision was made.
Note
A contravention of this subsection may be an offence under section 13AZZX.
To avoid doubt, subsection (1) does not require counter-terrorism intelligence to be included in the summary.
Despite section 13AH(3), when a police officer takes a person into custody, the police officer does not need to—
have a copy of the record of the police detention decision or the summary mentioned in subsection (1) with them; or
produce a copy of the record or summary to the person being taken into custody.
