Freedom Camping Act 2011

Enforcement, miscellaneous, and transitional provisions - Enforcement officers

34: Enforcement officers must produce evidence of appointment

You could also call this:

“Enforcement officers must show their official ID if asked”

If someone asks an enforcement officer to show proof of their job, the officer must show it. This proof is a document that explains what the officer can do under the Freedom Camping Act 2011. The document lists the officer’s duties and powers. It also says which rules the officer can enforce if someone breaks them. This document is enough to prove that the person is really an enforcement officer.
