21—Permitting premises to be frequented by thieves etc
(1) A person
who—
(a) is
the occupier of premises frequented by reputed thieves, prostitutes, persons
without lawful means of support or persons of notoriously bad character; or
(b) is,
without reasonable excuse, in premises frequented by any such persons,
is guilty of an offence.
Maximum penalty: $750.
(2) In a prosecution
under this section, it is not necessary for the prosecutor to prove that the
defendant knew that the persons frequenting the premises were reputed thieves,
prostitutes, persons without lawful means of support or persons of notoriously
bad character, but it is a defence that the defendant did not know and could
not, by the exercise of reasonable diligence, have ascertained that the
persons frequenting the premises were such persons.
