Warning to be given
156 Warning to be given
(1) Before requiring a person to answer a question or provide information or a
document under this Part, a rail safety officer must--
(a) identify himself or
herself to the person as a rail safety officer by producing the officer's
identity card or in some other way; and
(b) warn the person that failure to
comply with the requirement or to answer the question, without reasonable
excuse, would constitute an offence; and
(c) warn the person about the effect
of section 155; and
(d) advise the person about the effect of section 245.
(2) It is not an offence for an individual to refuse to answer a question put
by a rail safety officer or provide information or a document to a rail safety
officer under this Part on the ground that the question, information or
document might tend to incriminate him or her, unless he or she was first
given the warning in subsection (1)(c).
(3) Nothing in this section prevents
a rail safety officer from obtaining and using evidence given to the officer
voluntarily by any person.
