(a)has committed, or
(b)intends to commit,
an offence under these Regulations.
(3) A road check must be authorised by a constable of the rank of superintendent or above.
(4) But a road check may be authorised by a constable below that rank if the constable considers it necessary as a matter of urgency.

(c)whether the road check is to be conducted—
(i)continuously throughout the period, or
(ii)at particular times during the period (in which case the authorisation must specify those times);
(d)the name of the constable giving the authorisation.
(7) Where a road check is authorised under paragraph (4)—
(a)the period specified in paragraph (6)(b) may not exceed 2 days;
(b)the constable giving the authorisation must, as soon as is reasonably practicable after giving it, inform a constable of the rank of superintendent or above that it has been given.
(8) A constable of the rank of superintendent or above may give authorisation in writing for a road check to continue for a further period, not exceeding 7 days, beyond the period for which the road check was initially authorised.
(9) Where a vehicle is stopped in a road check, the person in charge of the vehicle at the time when it is stopped is entitled to obtain a written statement of the purpose of the road check by applying in writing—
(a)to the police force responsible for the locality where the road check is conducted, and
