Being Charged

The police officer in charge of the investigation must decide whether to charge the accused person of the suspected offence. A person who has been charged with an offence must be given a copy of the charges as well as a copy of any bail agreement (should police bail be granted). Where it is decided to not charge a person, the police officer in charge of the investigation must ensure the person is returned to the place of apprehension or taken to another place nominated by the person [see Summary Offences Act 1953 (SA) s 78(5)].
