sec.108 Receipts for seized things
As soon as practicable after an authorised person seizes a thing, the authorised person must give a receipt for it to the person from whom it was seized. However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1) , the authorised person must leave the receipt at the place of seizure in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way. The receipt must describe generally each thing seized and its condition. This section does not apply to a thing if it is impracticable, or would be unreasonable, to give the receipt (given the thing’s nature, condition and value).
