Search, arrest, custody and warrants
Know what documents and facts to record when police exercise coercive powers.
Learn
Police powers depend on legislation and circumstances. When a search, arrest, warrant or seizure occurs, useful records include date and time, officer identity if known, stated power or reason, what was searched or seized, receipts or paperwork, witnesses, recordings lawfully available, and later correspondence. Do not physically obstruct police; challenge legality through proper legal processes.
