Illustration for Sentencing Act 2002

If you get a sentence of community work, you must let a probation officer collect biometric information if they ask you to. This means you have to cooperate when a probation officer wants to collect information like your fingerprints. You have to do this if a probation officer directs you to, as part of your community work sentence.
