##### 44D Wardens may require certain information etc.
(1) A warden who:
(a) detains or searches a vehicle, aircraft or vessel under section 43; or
(b) enters or searches land or premises under section 44;
may require a person found in or on the vehicle, aircraft or vessel, or on the land or premises, to state the person’s full name and address.
(2) A warden who detains or searches a vessel under section 43 may require the person in charge of the vessel to give the warden such information concerning:
(a) the vessel and its crew; and
(b) any person on board the vessel;
as the warden requests.
(3) A warden or ranger may, in a park, reserve or conservation zone:
(a) require any person whom the warden or ranger finds committing, or suspects on reasonable grounds to be committing or to have committed, an offence against this Act to state the person’s full name and address; and
(b) require any person whom the warden or ranger finds committing, or suspects on reasonable grounds to be committing or to have committed, an offence against this Act to leave the park, reserve or conservation zone; and
(c) require any person whom the warden or ranger suspects on reasonable grounds of doing or having done an act in respect of which the person is required to hold a licence, permit or other authority under this Act to produce such a licence or permit, or evidence of such an authority.
(4) If a warden (other than a member of a police force who is in uniform) or a ranger makes a requirement of a person under this section, the warden or ranger must:
(a) in the case of a member of the police force—produce, for inspection by that person, written evidence of the fact that the warden is a member of a police force; or
(b) in any other case—produce the warden’s or ranger’s identity card for inspection by that person;
and, if the warden or ranger fails to do so, that person is not obliged to comply with the requirement.
