Transport functions

9CAA. Transport functions



(1) If a person is authorised under section 9A(1B) to carry out the transport
of any person to or from a place, any provision of an Act or regulation or of
a warrant or order of a court or of any order or instrument under an Act which
requires or authorises (either expressly or by necessary implication) a member
of the police force (by name or otherwise) to transport that person to or from
that place must be taken to also authorise the person authorised under section
9A(1B) to carry out that transport function in place of a member of the police
force in accordance with that authorisation.

(2) Nothing in subsection (1) prevents a member of the police force from
exercising any function referred to in that subsection or any other function
under the provision, warrant, order or instrument.





(3) Despite anything to the contrary in any other provision of this Act or in
any other Act or regulation or in any warrant, order or instrument of any
kind, a person who is being transported to or from a place by a person
authorised under section 9A(1B) is deemed to be in the custody of the Chief
Commissioner of Police while being so transported.
