Q

TEVEZ is being detained for a suspected offence under the Terrorism Act 2000. The investigating officer intends applying for a warrant for further detention and a hearing is scheduled to take place in two hours’ time. There is sufficient detention time available to the investigating officers. However, TEVEZ’s detention has recently been reviewed and the reviewing officer has refused to authorise continued detention.

What happens now?

A

The police may continue to detain TEVEZ, regardless of whether a hearing has been arranged.

In cases where the person is detained under the Terrorism Act 2000 and the review officer does not authorise continued detention, the person does not have to be released if an application for a warrant for further detention is going to be applied for “or” if an application has been made and the result is pending.

Section 41(5) simply states that a person may be detained in these circumstances if the officer “intends” making an application for a warrant for further detention. There is no specific requirement for a hearing to have been arrange

He must be over 14.

The person must have been charged with a trigger offence, and a police officer of at least the rank of inspector may authorise a sample to be taken where there are reasonable grounds for suspecting that the misuse by that person of any specified Class A drug caused or contributed to the offence.

117
Q

A

They need to consider the welfare of the appropriate adult but don’t need to pre-select or warn them about the nature of the case.

118
Q

If the suspect is deaf or there is doubt about his/her hearing ability, a contemporaneous written record should be made as well as the audio recording, this only applies to the suspect and not an appropriate adult.

119
Q

THRUSH was arrested for failing to appear at court and is in police custody awaiting court in the morning.

Who does the reviews and when?

A

Custody officer periodically.

Review officer for the purposes of ss. 40 and 40A of the 1984 Act means, in the case of a person arrested but not charged, an officer of at least inspector rank not directly involved in the investigation and, if a person has been arrested and charged, the custody officer. The detention of persons in police custody not subject to the statutory review should still be reviewed periodically as a matter of good practice. The purpose of such reviews is to check that the particular power under which a detainee is held continues to apply, that any associated conditions are complied with and to make sure that appropriate action is taken to deal with any changes. This includes the detainee’s prompt release when the power no longer applies, or his/her transfer if the power requires the detainee to be taken elsewhere as soon as the necessary arrangements are made. Examples include persons arrested on warrant because they failed to answer bail to appear at court. This review would be carried out by the custody officer not inspector

122
Q

Do custody officers have to consider whether an arrest is lawful before authorising?

The Divisional Court held that there is no express or implied requirement imposing a duty on a custody officer to enquire into the legality of the arrest and that the custody officer is entitled to assume that the arrest was lawful

123
Q

When first authorise detention, what must a custody officer consider?

A

Section 37 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 places a duty on a custody officer to determine whether a person should be charged, released with or without bail, or detained if there are reasonable grounds to believe that it is necessary in order to secure and preserve evidence relating to the offence for which he or she is under arrest, “or” to obtain such evidence by questioning

124
Q

Under what circumstances can we question Tim Barry at hospital?

A

Having never arrived the person is not in detention (answer C is therefore incorrect) and may be questioned away from the police station provided waiting would: • lead to interference with or harm to evidence connected with an offence or interference with or physical harm to other people or serious loss of, or damage to property; or • lead to the alerting of other people suspected of having committed an offence but not yet arrested for it; or • hinder the recovery of property obtained in consequence of the commission of an offence.

However, where a detainee is removed to hospital for medical treatment, time spent at the hospital or travelling to or from hospital does not count, except for any time spent questioning the person for the purpose of obtaining evidence in respect of an offence.

125
Q

If we question someone in hospital does it count towards the pace clock?

A

The questioning does only.

126
Q

Do we have to search everyone that comes into custody?

A

If a detained person is not going to be placed in a cell and is only going to be kept in detention for a short period, the custody officer has the option not to search (Code C, Note 4A). If no search is conducted, the custody record should be endorsed ‘not searched’ and the detainee will be invited to sign the entry. If the detainee refuses, the custody officer will be obliged to ascertain what property they have

127
Q

Could an application for a warrant of further detention be heard at crown court?

A

No must be mags

128
Q

129
Q

What is the difference between other officers acting as custody officers at designated and non-designated stations?

A

In a designated station, it must be a Sergeant. If not a Sergeant any officer not connected with investigation. If there is a sergeant available they MUST act as custody officer.

In a non designated station, it is performed by any rank not involved. Or if no officers available, the arresting officer, officer involved or officer that granted street bail.

Tell inspector or above at a designated station.

130
Q

132
Q

A

Every 30 mins

Detainees should be visited every hour. If no reasonably foreseeable risk was identified in a risk assessment, there is no need to wake a sleeping detainee. Those suspected of being intoxicated through drink or drugs or having swallowed drugs or whose level of consciousness is cause for concern must, subject to any clinical directions, be visited and roused every half hour.

133
Q

At what point can a super authorise an extension?

A

The extension of a person’s detention by a superintendent or above must be made within 24 hours of the relevant time and cannot be made before at least two reviews have been carried out by a review officer

134
Q

What kind of info must be available to the super to authorise an extension?

A

To be able to satisfy the senior officer of this, it will be necessary for the custody record to be available for inspection and details of what inquiries have been made, and evidence that the investigation has been moving at a pace that will satisfy the senior officer that the inquiries should not already have been completed.

  1. Custody record
  2. Details of enquiries made
  3. Evidence that the investigation has been moving at a pace
135
Q

Juvenile suspect does not want solicitor. AA does. What now?

A

If the juvenile indicates that they do not want legal advice, the appropriate adult has the right to ask for a solicitor to attend if this would be in the best interests of the person. However, the detained person cannot be forced to see the solicitor if he is adamant that he does not wish to do so.

The appropriate adult “does” have the right to ask for a solicitor to attend if it is in the best interests of the detainee (and answer B is therefore incorrect); however, this right does not extend to forcing the juvenile to speak to the solicitor once he/she has arrived at the custody office.

136
Q

Can you apply for a warrant of further detention before the 36 hours is up?

A

The application for the warrant can be made at any time, even before a superintendent’s review has been carried out.

The application should be made within that 36-hour period; it should most certainly not wait to be made until a court is sitting after it expires.

137
Q

36 hours expires and you don’t have a warrant for further detention yet but need to keep someone in custody. Must you release them?

A

Note that the 6-hour extension only applies where the police can show that is was not reasonable to apply within the 36 hours.

There are dangers in applying outside the 36-hour period in that if the court feels that it would have been reasonable to make the application within the 36-hour period then it must refuse the application for the warrant regardless of the merits of the case.

If the application is refused, the person must be charged or released with or without bail at the expiry of the current permissible period of detention.

138
Q

Can an insp always be a custody officer?

A

officers higher in rank than a sergeant can perform custody duties and not just constables; answer B is therefore incorrect. However, this is only where a sergeant is not readily available to perform them.

The effect of s. 36(3) and (4) is that the practice of allowing officers of any other rank to perform the role of custody officer where a sergeant (who has no other role to perform) is in the police station must therefore be unlawful.

139
Q

A suspect fell from a roof during a burglary and was arrested but had to be taken to hospital.

The officers fear for the safety of another person still missing and wish to interview the suspect. Who gives us permission to interview at hospital?

A

a person in police detention at a hospital must not be questioned without the agreement of a RESPONSIBLE DOCTOR.

The Code does not mention, unlike drink/drive legislation, the doctor in immediate charge of the person’s car

140
Q

Can you interview after charge?

A

Yes

One of these exceptions is that questions may not be put unless they are necessary for the purpose of preventing or minimising harm or loss to some other person, or to the public.

This caution is the one outlined in Code C, para. 16.5: ‘You do not have to say anything, but anything you do say may be given in evidence.’ This caution is what is known as the ‘old style’ caution,

141
Q

145
Q

A juvenile terrorist is arrested. The OIC wants to delay anyone else being told about arrest. Can they delay notifying their parents or an AA?

Same for mental health

146
Q

What is the extent of the risk of harm for a super to authorise an urgent interview?

A

Just interference with or physical harm to other people.

It is serious loss or damage to property though.

147
Q

A terrorist is arrested and the OIC believes that he has key info about an upcoming terror attack. He however appears to be in a state whereby his mental health is rapidly deteriorating. HCP say that he is not in a fit state to interview and it would cause him serious issues. However failing to interview could result in a terror attack and therefore physical harm to people (PAPER). Can we interview?

A

No - it meets paper criteria however…

Interviewing should not significantly harm either the suspects physical or mental state.

148
Q

Can you still interview a juvenile suspect at school even if the school is the victim?

A

Yes but principal cannot be AA.

To interview on school premises, there must be exceptional circumstances and the principal or nominee agrees.

A

For interviews in the absence of a requested solicitor it can be PAPER and also the solicitor would cause an unreasonable delay.

A

Yes as any delay might lead to serious loss, damage to property or interference with or physical harm to other people.

151
Q

If someone is arrested for BOP, who reviews their detention?

A

Custody officer.

A case that supports this view is Chief Constable of Cleveland Police v McGrogan [2002] EWCA Civ 86 which involved a person detained at a police station overnight after having been arrested for breach of the peace. The Court of Appeal held that the need regularly to review the person’s detention was required even though breach of the peace was not an ‘offence’ for the purpose of s. 118; answers A and C are therefore incorrect. The effect of answer D is that a person could be detained for ever for a breach of the peace offence

152

Who is responsible for determining whether there is sufficient evidence to charge CROCKER with murder again?

A

Super

When a person is arrested under the provisions of the Criminal Justice Act 2003, which allow a person to be re-tried after being acquitted of a serious offence which is a qualifying offence specified in sch. 5 to that Act and not precluded from further prosecution by virtue of s. 75(3) of that Act, the detention provisions of PACE are modified and make an officer of the rank of superintendent or above who has not been directly involved in the investigation responsible for determining whether the evidence is sufficient to charge

154
Q

A detainee is hammered and is abusive towards the reviewing inspector in the cell. Does the inspector have to take their representations? If not, as his solicitor is present, must he listen to their representations instead?

A

Do not have to listen. Does not have to listen to solicitor.

The authorising officer may, however, refuse to hear oral representations from the detainee if the officer considers them unfit to make representations because of their condition or behaviour; answers A and B are therefore incorrect. Should this happen there is no need to ensure another person makes representations.

Other people having an interest in the detainee’s welfare may also make representations at the authorising officer’s discretion.

155
Q

If there is a warrant for further detention for terrorism offences, what are the review times and who by?
