The Law Enforcement (Powers and Responsibilities) Act 2002 (LEPRA) is a NSW piece of legislation which governs the exercise of specific police powers. The Act contains 19 parts which either reinforce the common law, relocate existing sections from other Acts or establish new powers and safeguards. Since its implementation, LEPRA has been subject to many amendments, but the majority of critical legal discussion has concerned those that occurred in 2009, 2013 and 2014. In the media, there has been controversy surrounding LEPRA provisions relating to the power of police to conduct searches, as well as what constitutes reasonable use of force.
