What this is not
This is not a lawyer, and it is not legal advice.
It tells you what the legislation says. It cannot tell you how a court will apply it to your situation, and it does not cover case law or regulations made under these Acts. If your liberty, your home or your livelihood is at stake, use this to understand your position and then get a lawyer.
