68 Results of matched information to be made available to suspects
If —
identifying information is obtained under this Act from a person who, either then or subsequently, is reasonably suspected of having committed an offence; and
the information is compared with and found to match information, whether or not in a forensic database, obtained otherwise in relation to the investigation of the offence,
the officer in charge of the investigation of the offence must ensure that the results of the comparison are made available to the person.
The results of the comparison must be made available to the suspect as soon as practicable after they are obtained unless to do so would prejudice the investigation of any offence.
