Arrest without warrant

76. Arrest without warrant



(1) A member of the police force may arrest without warrant any person who
within his or her view commits an offence against any regulation made under
clauses 42 to 49 in Schedule 2 and who on being requested to give his or her
name and address refuses or fails to do so or gives a name or address which
the member of the police force reasonably suspects to be false.







(2) If a person who is arrested for an offence under this Act was in charge of
a motor vehicle, any member of the police force may drive or convey the motor
vehicle to a police station and keep it there pending the admission of the
arrested person to bail or, if that person is not the owner of the motor
vehicle, pending a demand for the vehicle by its owner.
