[section inserted by section 13 of Act 2 of 2016] 41B. Bodily samples for investigation purposes (1) (2) An authorised person may take a bodily sample of a person or group of persons, or supervise the taking of a bodily sample from any person or group of persons, if the person or persons concerned consent to such sample being taken at the verbal or written request of a peace officer who is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds— (a) to suspect that the person, or any one or more persons in a group of persons, has committed an offence; or (b) for believing that the bodily sample and the resulting forensic DNA analysis thereof will be of value in the investigation of an offence by excluding or including one or more persons as possible perpetrators of the offence. If a person does not consent to the taking of a bodily sample, a warrant may be issued by a judge or magistrate upon written request by a police officer who is of or above the rank of inspector, if it appears from written information given by the police officer under oath that there are reasonable grounds— (a) to suspect that the person named in the information, or any one or more persons in a group of persons so named, has committed an offence; or (b) for believing that the bodily sample and the resulting forensic DNA analysis thereof will be of value in the investigation of an offence by excluding or including one or more named persons as possible perpetrators of the offence.
