Talk:Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984

This is a link to a commentary on the [http://www.wikicrimeline.co.uk/index.php?title=Serious_Organised_Crime_and_Police_Act_2005:_Part_3:_Police_powers_etc. Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005: Part 3: Police powers etc.] as it effects PACE. It is Crown Copyright material but may assist anyone who would like to expand the article on PACE 1984 Ron Barker 06:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC) I hope that it is OK to post this link?

Case Law - OSMAN
I think that the reference to Osman v DPP under the section Case Law is a reference to the case of Mustapha Osman v Southwark Crown Court

See:Rob Jerrard Police Law. I could be wrong so I have not ammended the entry, just in case that I am wrong.

The case report is at: Osman v Southwark Crown Court [1999] EWHC Admin 622 (1st July, 1999)Ron Barker 07:38, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

This link is clearly incorrect, the OSMAN case referred to relates to a ECHR claim in connection with a failure by the Police to protect OSMAN following receipt of information suggesting that there was a threat to him.

The Mustapha OSMAN case is the correct one. It refers to a failure by Police to provide details prior to searching OSMAN.

The full text of the judgement is at http://www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWHC/Admin/1999/622.html

In light of this I will update the page directly, I may have some issues citing the source so might need some assistance! Lukeyboyuk (talk) 00:27, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I agree with the change of reference, but I am not sure why these particular cases have been singled out. ElectricLemon (talk) 21:04, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * When initially reviewing the article this is included as an example of the importance of PACE in day to day policing. PACE is effectively the rule book that governs Police powers & procedures. The case in question is quite important as there are essential pieces of information to be given at the point of searching. PACE lays these down. What are your thoughts on the article without it?

PACE v Police and Criminal Evidence Act
The article has contained a mixture of PACE & Police and Criminal Evidence Act.

The start of the article makes it clear that the acronym PACE represents Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984.

I have changed the references to PACE. Lukeyboyuk (talk) 03:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
