New South Wales Consolidated Acts

LAW ENFORCEMENT (POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES) ACT 2002 - SECT 45K

45K Authorised use of hand-held scanner without warrant in designated areas

(1) A police officer may, without a warrant, require a person in a designated area to stop and submit to the use of a hand-held scanner.

(2) To avoid doubt, subsection (1) does not authorise the use of a hand-held scanner on board a public transport vehicle in a designated area.

Note--: Although this section authorises the use of a hand-held scanner at a public transport station in a designated area, it does not extend to the use of hand-held scanners on board public transport vehicles in the designated area. Section 45L provides for the use of hand-held scanners on board public transport vehicles in certain circumstances.
