Subscribe to PNLDThe government has decided to implement the proposal to establish a new exemption from the offence of using a hand-held mobile phone in circumstances where emergency services drivers use Airwave Tetra and ESN devices. The exemption will only apply to use in press-to-talk mode, any other use of the devices in hand-held mode while driving would contravene the prohibition.
From 6 November 2024, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (Application of Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984) (Amendment No. 2) Order 2024 (SI 2024/1029) amends the original order, ensuring retention of property for forensic examination under the modified section 22 of PACE, as part of an investigation into cryptoassets.
PACE permits the re-arrest of a person, who has been released on bail, for the offence which he was initially arrested, if 'new' evidence has come to light since his release, (section 47(2) PACE). Section 41(9) of the Act contains a similar provision and permits the re-arrest of persons released from police detention without charge with or without bail at the expiry of twenty four hours after the relevant time if such grounds exists.
