Where any constable suspects that any person is carrying or wearing a bullet-proof vest that constable may —
ask such person if that person is carrying or wearing a bullet-proof vest; and
if such person admits that that person is carrying or wearing a bullet-proof vest, require such person to produce such bullet-proof vest and the Commissioner’s written approval in respect thereof.
If any person denies that that person is carrying or wearing a bullet-proof vest and the constable continues to suspect that that person is carrying or wearing a bullet-proof vest, the constable may search that person for the purpose of seizing the suspected bullet-proof vest and may detain that person for the purpose of searching that person.
Whoever, on being required so to do under this section, fails to produce a bullet-proof vest which that person admits that said person is carrying or wearing or to produce the Commissioner’s written approval in relation to such bullet-proof vest or refuses to submit to being searched under this section commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to a fine of two hundred dollars or to imprisonment for six months.
