invited in by the examiner
2. Outer perimeter - extremity of the crime scene that prevents all members of the public and
others that do not have a need to be near the crime scene from entering
How long can police exercise crime scene powers before having to obtain a crime scene
warrant - ANS Section 92(3) - Four hours or less, or for a period of 6 hours or less in the case
of a rural area prescribed by the regulations, for crime scenes that are not in a public place.
Section 89(2) that crime scene warrants are not required in public places.
Time commences from when the crime scene was established. LEPRA 2002 (NSW), Section
92(3).
Can a subsequent crime scene be established on the same premises within a 24-hour period -
ANS Yes. 91(4) LEPRA 2002 (NSW), states that: Subsection (3) does not prevent a subsequent
crime scene being established on the same premises in a 24-hour period for the purpose of
investigating a separate offence that is not related to the offence in respect in which the initial
crime scene was established.
If a crime scene needs to be re-established within 24 hours at the same premises and for the
same offence, a Crime Scene Warrant must be applied for and granted prior to entry, for you to
enter and re-establish a crime scene. There is no power to re-establish that crime scene without
a warrant being issued.
