Under which act is liquor seized from minors in public places?

The seizure of liquor from minors in public places falls under the Summary Offences Act. This act is designed to address various public order issues, including the possession and consumption of alcohol by individuals under the legal drinking age.

The act outlines the responsibilities of police officers to take action when they encounter minors in possession of alcohol, including the authority to seize such liquor to deter underage drinking and promote public safety. This legislative framework is particularly important in maintaining order in public spaces and preventing potential harm associated with excessive alcohol consumption by minors.

In relation to the other acts, while the Crimes Act deals broadly with criminal offenses, it does not specifically address liquor possession by minors. The Liquor Licensing Act regulates the sale and supply of alcohol but does not directly grant police authority for the seizure of alcohol from minors in public places. The Public Safety Act focuses on broader safety and emergency management issues but is not specifically tailored to the regulation of alcohol possession.
