52E When identifying procedure may be done
If —
under section 52C a request is made to a serious offender; and
the offender is informed under that section; and
the offender consents to the identifying procedure being done,
then the non‑intimate identifying procedure may be done on the offender.
If —
subsection (1)(a) and (b) apply but the serious offender does not consent or withdraws consent to the identifying procedure; or
it is not practicable to make a request to a serious offender under section 52C,
an officer may —
if the offender is not in custody — without a warrant arrest the offender and detain him or her for a reasonable period in order to do the non‑intimate identifying procedure; and
do the non‑intimate identifying procedure on the offender against the offender’s will.
