Summary
The Defence Force Discipline Act (DFDA) does not automatically trigger the Regulatory Powers Act for search and seizure. Military police must apply for a retaining order if they wish to retain seized items beyond 60 days. This involves submitting a formal request to a commanding officer or military tribunal, including justification for retention. If no application is made, the item should be returned to the owner. Owners can formally request the return of their property and may consider legal action if there is no response.Full Conversation
