(1) The failure of a police officer to ensure information under section 666 , 668 , 669 , 670 or 679 is recorded in the appropriate register or give information to the ACC under section 684 does not affect anything done in relation to the act concerned, whether before or after the failure.
(2) However, as soon as possible after the police officer or someone else entitled to inspect the register becomes aware that the information is not recorded in the appropriate register, the person must take the steps reasonably necessary to ensure the information is—(a) removed from the register in which it is recorded; and(b) recorded in the appropriate register or given to the ACC.
