The Tasmania Law Reform Institute was established on 23 July 2001 by agreement between the Government of the State of Tasmania, the University of Tasmania and The Law Society of Tasmania.
The current interpretation of the law in Tasmania creates the opportunity for the police to evade their statutory obligations and enables suspects’ involvement in the investigative process to proceed on a potentially unregulated and unfettered basis.
Therefore, the interpretation that a failure by a police officer to have the warrant with him does not prevent a lawful arrest from being made, means that a failure by a police officer to state the reasons for the arrest also does not prevent a lawful arrest from being made.
