POLICE POWERS AND RESPONSIBILITIES ACT 2000 - SECT 550

550 Power to require name and address and reason for entry

(1) A police officer or protective services officer may require an entrant to a state building to state the following information—

(a) the entrant’s name and address;

(b) the entrant’s reason for being at, or about to enter, the building.

(2) However, subsection (1) applies only if the police officer or protective services officer reasonably suspects making the requirement is necessary for the security of the state building.

(3) Also, the police officer or protective services officer may require the entrant to give evidence of the correctness of the stated name and address if, in the circumstances, it would be reasonable to expect the entrant to be in possession of, or to otherwise be able to give, the evidence.

(4) This section does not limit or otherwise affect chapter 2 , part 4 , division 1 or part 5 .
