How long can we detain an offender if he/she refuses to give a blood sample for DNA Order/Authorization? Could we charge the person with “Obstruction” under sect.129 of Criminal Code?
The question is not how long you detain but how long before you use force to obtain the sample. This relates to how long for example the person seeks legal advice about the charter warning. In the event the offender resists, consideration could be given to laying a charge of obstruction or even assault if the facts warrant it.
