214 Identification of person (1) For the purpose of issuing a banning notice to a person, a police officer may require the person: (a) to state the person's name and the address of the person's usual place of residence or work; and (b) to produce evidence of the person's identity. (2) When giving a requirement under subsection (1), the police officer must warn the person it is an offence to contravene the requirement unless the person has a reasonable excuse. (3) A person commits an offence if the person contravenes a requirement given to the person under subsection (1). Maximum penalty: 5 penalty units. (7) It is a defence to a prosecution for an offence against subsection (3) if the defendant has a reasonable excuse. (8) Despite subsection (3), it is not an offence for the person to fail to comply with a request made under subsection (1) if the police officer who made the request did not inform the person, at the time the request was made, that it is an offence to fail to comply with the request.
