Course-focused and comprehensive, the Textbook on series provide an accessible overview of the key areas on the law curriculum. This chapter examines the laws which justify invasions of personal freedom. The majority of the powers discussed are available to police officers only, though in some cases they may be exercised by other officials, or even by private citizens. It first considers provisions for stop, search, and arrest under the Human Rights Act 1998. It then turns to the exercise of powers of stop, search, and arrest under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. |
