As you stated is correct. The usual procedur...Yes. As you stated is correct. <BR/><BR/>The usual procedure for prosecution of non-arrestable offences is by way of a summons to appear before magistrates. But where the police reasonably suspect you of committing or having committed a non-arrestable offence, then they may arrest you if they believe that the service of a summons in impractical because any one of the general arrest conditions under Section 25 of PACE is satisfied.<BR/><BR/>However since you allready commit an offence if, without lawful authority or excuse, you wilfully obstruct the free passage of the highway,and that the male refused his details in order to be reported for that offence - Hence section 25 on both accounts / The obstrucion and not providing particulars for summons.<BR/>or even as far as Section 89(2) makes it an offence to resist or wilfully obstruct a constable in the execution of his duty, since i was acting to protect the safety of the public and to prevent a breach of the peace also to arrest to prevent him from doing causing physical injury to myself or the runners . Even then prevention of a breach of the peace was evident enough to arrest. <BR/><BR/>I think what I am trying to say there is a plethora of methods to apply in this instance. <BR/><BR/>---<BR/>I havent spoken to the gentleman in any form since the incident,<BR/>I think I prefer it that way, as i think stuff like that might fuck with my mind :)thinbluelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10918980959003539016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10900967.post-1114176268244610842005-04-22T14:24:00.000+01:002005-04-22T14:24:00.000+01:00Dont wanna be a law-pervert, but I thought you had...Dont wanna be a law-pervert, but I thought you had to have an original offence that has happened before you can use section 25. <BR/>i.e. s35(1) - Road Traffic Act 1988 - Failing To Conform With The Indication Given By A Constable Engaged In The Regulation Of Traffic...<BR/><BR/>Just wondered what you booked him for.
