32 Voluntary non-intimate procedure
(1) A senior police officer may carry out a non-intimate procedure on a
youth if the youth consents in writing, and a responsible adult in
respect of the youth consents in writing, to the procedure being
carried out.
(2) If the procedure is carried out for the purposes of investigating an
offence, any information obtained from the procedure:
(a) must not be used for investigating any other offence other
than a relevant offence; and
(b) is inadmissible as evidence in any proceedings other than
proceedings for the offence or a relevant offence.
relevant offence means an offence that, if committed by an adult,
would be punishable by a term of imprisonment of 14 years or
more.
