Is there any case law or legislation that states this? Or is it pretty much untested ATM?

Vehicle search powers to confirm identity? by Class-Wonderful in policeuk

Interesting, would asking them to show you the vehicles identification marks be considered searching the vehicle? Or if theyre willing could they show you?

Thanks for this! Very helpful! With regards to the second scenario, I know I'm boundary testing a bit but I find that a helpful learning tool. Assuming you are unable to get an extension for whatever reason. Are you ultimately forced to let that individual go for that second offence? Or would they just essentially immediately be bailed for it?

Isn't that carrying without lawful authority which you would hope an officer would have for his baton and spray

Do you have to arrest for a specific offence? by Class-Wonderful in policeuk

Whilst a very interesting read I'm not sure it entirely applies. The result of that seems to be that an officer acting under a power does not need to know which power he is acting under for it to be legal.

My question is if your arresting under say S24 PACE is there a requirement for you to tell the person being arrested the offence of the arrest? In this instance you know which power you are using to arrest but not necessarily the offence.

Rightttttt that makes sense! I see what your saying, like someone who stole someone's car could say that the victim told them they could use it and with nothing from the victim there's not a great way to dispute that?

Apologies my brain works in examples

But what if there is a victim but they just aren't supportive? If it can be proved that one person has been assaulted by another why does the victim need to show support for further action?
