KNOW THE LAW & YOUR RIGHTS

Just watched this excellent Documentary, Its rather long at about 2 Hours, but the information can save you a
lot of grief from the Police (Who often Don't know the law themselves)
Did you know its 100% Legal to photo and film the Police in Public,?
Ballifs have few powers and cannot force there way into your home.?
You Don't have to give your details to the police if you have done nothing wrong?
Stop and Search Issues?
And a ton of other stuff, Very well worth a view.

This piece of legislation (Section 13 of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995) isn't really used that often, but I have arrested for it in the past.

If the officers have reasonable suspicion that you may have committed an offence, you are obliged to give your name, address, date of birth, place of birth and nationality and remain with them until these details are verified.

If they have reasonable suspicion that you may have been witness to an offence (for example, if a few people at the scene said 'He/she witnessed it'), you are obliged to give your name, address, date of birth, place of birth and nationality.

Whether or not you have witnessed it, or indeed committed the offence, is to an extent, irrelevant. Nevertheless, a police officer should never use this piece of legislation unless they believe the witness they are speaking to has actually witnessed the offence.
