Retention and disposal or return of items Section 29: Retention of seized items
This section authorises the retention of items seized under section 21 or 23 for as long as is necessary and, in particular, either for use as evidence in a trial or to enable forensic or scientific examination, or as part of an investigation for an offence under the Act. The retention of items seized under section 21 is not authorised in a situation in which a photo of the item would suffice.
