Western Australian Current Acts

TRANSPORT (ROAD PASSENGER SERVICES) ACT 2018 - SECT 195

195 .         Records relevant to offence

        (1)         If a record may be seized, the authorised officer authorised to seize it may, if practicable, reproduce the record, whether or not in the same form, and instead seize the reproduction.

        Example for this subsection:

                A record on a computer could be reproduced by printing it out on paper or copying it to a data storage device and the paper or data storage device could then be seized.

        (2)         If a record is seized, the authorised officer authorised to seize it may copy or take extracts from the record.

        (3)         If a record is seized and a relevant person so requests, the authorised officer must —

            (a)         if it is reasonably practicable to do so, give a copy of the record to the person as soon as practicable after it is seized; or

            (b)         unless the authorised officer reasonably suspects that doing so will jeopardise the evidentiary value of the record, allow the person to inspect the record and to make and keep a copy of it.

        (4)         In subsection (3) —

        relevant person means a person —

            (a)         who appears entitled to possession of the record; and

            (b)         who does not already have a copy of the record.
