Police officer detaining a child who is under a preventative detention order together with adults Is an offence under section 105.45(a)(b)(iva) of the Criminal Code Act 1995 (Cth) which carries a maximum penalty of 2 years in prison.
To establish the offence, the prosecution must prove beyond reasonable doubt that:
Section 105.33A states that a police officer who is detaining a person aged under 18 years who is under a preventative detention murder must not detain that person together with a person or persons aged 18 years or over.
You are not guilty of the offence if a senior AFP member approved the child being detained with adults.
A senior AFP member must not give such approval unless there are ‘exceptional circumstances’ and any such approval must be written and set out the exceptional circumstances relied upon.
Duress, self-defence and necessity are legal defences to the charge.
