I was raided over 5 months ago. The police took computers, a dehydrator, cannabis, dried cacti, my entire $5k collection of rare cacti along with a bunch of random stuff like a tattoo gun.
My understanding with the law is that the police must issue you a field receipt detailing everything seized from the property within 2 weeks or a month. It's now been over 5 months. I've left a message for the officer in charge and received no reply.
Is there some sort of law regarding field receipts under Criminal Law and the time in which they must be handed over?
I've been raided and had stuff seized before and received the field receipt the same day so this is very weird... Is there perhaps a deadline which if they don't give a field receipt by a certain time the items become inadmissible in court? I'm hoping so.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
