161 Receipt for seized things
161 Receipt for seized things
(1) After a rail safety officer seizes a thing under this Part, the officer must give a receipt for it to the person from whom the thing was seized or the owner of the thing.
(2) However, if for any reason it is not practicable to comply with subsection (1), the rail safety officer must leave the receipt at the place of seizure in a conspicuous position and in a reasonably secure way.
(3) The receipt must describe generally the thing seized and its condition.
(4) This section does not apply if it would be impracticable or unreasonable to expect the rail safety officer to account for the thing, given its condition, nature and value.
