Part 3Operator certificates
40Operator to produce certificate on request
A constable may, on producing evidence that he or she is a constable, require any person whom the member believes on reasonable grounds is an operator to produce that person's certificate for inspection, and the person must produce his or her certificate to the member, or to another constable at a local Police station, within 24 hours of the request.
If a request under subsection (1) is made to the holder of a certificate, that holder commits an offence, and is liable on
