Explanatory Note

(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order amends the table in section 1(1) of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 (c. 16). Article 2 adds further offences to those in respect of which a penalty notice may be given and penalty levied under sections 2 and 3 of that Act. Article 3 is a consequential amendment.

Articles 4 and 5 modify the operation of provisions in the Police Reform Act 2002 (c. 22) that confer powers on police civilians and accredited persons in relation to the issue of penalty notices. Their effect is to prevent such persons from issuing penalty notice in relation to the offences specified in those articles.
