Re: Detaining pax on board - Legalities?

I might also add that the police powers of arrest changed on the 1st.
Section 110 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 inserted a new section 24 into the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. The new section 24 removes the distinction between criminal offences which are arrestable and those which are not and provides that a constable may, provided certain criteria are met, arrest a person in relation to any criminal offence.
Just adding this for the benefit of those who don't know any better for checking the statements of those who claim to or should.
