CRIMINAL LAW (FORENSIC PROCEDURES) ACT 2007 - SECT 4

4—Application of Act

        (1)         Nothing in this Act applies to—

            (a)         a forensic procedure authorised under another law of this State; or

            (b)         a search of a person.

Note—

Forensic procedures authorised under another law would include, for example, the taking of a sample of breath, blood or oral fluid from a person under the Road Traffic Act 1961 .

        (2)         The fact that a particular class of forensic procedure may be authorised under another law of this State does not prevent that class of forensic procedure from being authorised under this Act, unless the other law specifically excludes the operation of this Act.

        (3)         Except for Part 5 and Part 7, this Act does not apply to a forensic procedure carried out on the body of a deceased person.
