Police powers, search and entry 2012

2012 POLICY RESOLUTIONS

POLICY ON POLICE POWERS OF SEARCH AND ENTRY

The Security Industries Act (NSW) was amended in June 2012 to allow police to enter and search of premises on which security activities are taking place without warrant. The amendments commence operation on 1 November 2012

Resolution
That police should only have power to enter and search premises without warrant in the case of emergencies, and the amendments to the Security Industries Act 1997 (NSW) which provide police with warrantless search and entry powers for premises on which security activities are taking place should be repealed.


Moved Stephen Blanks/Liam Burgess: The resolution be accepted: Carried

NSWCCL acknowledges that the land on which we operate and function is the traditional land of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

We pay our respects to the Elders, both past and present and acknowledge the Youth, the future leaders, in whose hands we hold our hope for a reconciled future.

Always was, always will be.
