Like CivPol, all Military Police (including "MOD Plod") are subject to restrictions of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984. I'm sure a specialist will be along soon and highlight what is required under PACE to arrest / detain / search etc.
I'm fairly certain they only have powers of arrest over individuals subject to the AFA (plus those no longer subject to it but whose arrest is authorised by the AG as highlghted above) and, even on MOD property (i.e trespass) can only detain "non-AFA persons" until CivPol arrive and take over.
Any journo's reading this thread will (hopefully) love your comments about
custody without interview and that in turn can lead to searches without a warrant ..... civilian owned houses occupied by civilian spouses being routinely turned over by RAFP investigating trivial issues
