261AF Identification tests not to be carried out in cruel, inhuman or
         degrading manner etc.
               For the purposes of this Act, the carrying out of the identification
               test is not of itself taken:
                 (a) to be cruel, inhuman or degrading; or
                 (b) to be a failure to treat a person with humanity and with
                      respect for human dignity.
               However, nothing in this Act authorises the carrying out of the
               identification test in a cruel, inhuman or degrading manner, or in a
               manner that fails to treat a person with humanity and with respect
               for human dignity.
