3 Provisions relating to search under s. 21

The time for which a person or vehicle may be detained for the purposes of a search under section 2 is such time as is reasonably required to permit a search to be carried out either at the place where the person or vehicle was first detained or nearby.

2

The power conferred by section 2 is not to be construed as authorising a service policeman to require a person to remove any of his clothing in public other than an outer coat, jacket or gloves.

3

The Secretary of State may by order make provision, in relation to the search of persons or vehicles under section 2 (whether carried out by service policemen or by virtue of section 4 by other persons), which is equivalent to that made by any provision of—

a

subsections (1) to (7) and (9)(b) of section 2 (provisions relating to search under section 1 of that Act and other powers) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (c. 60) (in this Part referred to as “the 1984 Act”), and

b

section 3 of that Act (duty to make records concerning searches),

subject to such modifications as the Secretary of State thinks fit.

4

An order under subsection (3) may, in particular, apply any of the provisions mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of that subsection subject to modifications specified in the order.

5

Section 2 and this section apply to vessels, aircraft and hovercraft as they apply to vehicles.

6

Nothing in section 2 limits the powers exercisable on any premises if, or to the extent that, the premises are being used—

4 Power of commanding officer in relation to stopping and searching of persons, vehicles etc1

Subject to subsections (2) and (3), in relation to a person who is subject to service law or a vehicle in the charge of such a person, the powers conferred on a service policeman by section 2 may also be exercised—

a

by that person’s commanding officer, or

b

by any member of Her Majesty’s forces who is authorised by that person’s commanding officer.

2

The power conferred on a commanding officer by virtue of subsection (1)(a) may be exercised only by giving orders for the search of a particular person or vehicle.

3

A commanding officer may not give orders by virtue of subsection (1)(a) or give authority under subsection (1)(b) unless he has reasonable grounds for believing that it is likely that, if the powers conferred by section 2 could not be exercised before the earliest time by which it would be practicable to obtain—

a

the assistance of a service policeman, or

b

in a case where corresponding powers conferred by section 1 of the 1984 Act or any other enactment are exercisable by a member of a United Kingdom police force, the assistance of a member of such a force who is capable of exercising those corresponding powers,

offences against section 70 of either of the 1955 Acts or section 42 of the 1957 Act would be committed or persons who have committed such offences would avoid apprehension.

Entry and search of premises
5 Power of judicial officer to authorise entry and search of certain premises1

If, on an application made by a service policeman, a judicial officer is satisfied that there are reasonable grounds for believing—

a

c

that the material is likely to be relevant evidence, and

d

that it does not consist of or include items subject to legal privilege, excluded material or special procedure material, and

6 Special provisions as to access1

The Secretary of State may by order enable a service policeman to obtain access to excluded material or special procedure material on relevant residential premises, for the purposes of an investigation of an offence to which section 5 applies, by making an application in accordance with the order to a judicial officer.

service living accommodation of a person as respects whom the officer is commanding officer, or

ii

other premises occupied as a residence (alone or with other persons) by a person who is subject to service law and as respects whom the officer is commanding officer, and

b

that it is likely that, if no search could be carried out before the earliest time by which it would be practicable—

i

for a service policeman to obtain and execute a warrant under section 5 authorising the entry and search of the premises, or

ii

in a case where a member of a United Kingdom police force could obtain a warrant under section 8 of the 1984 Act or any other enactment authorising the entry and search of the premises, for a member of such a force to obtain such a warrant,

the purpose of the search would be frustrated or seriously prejudiced,

the officer may authorise a service policeman or, subject to subsection (2), any other member of Her Majesty’s forces to enter and search the premises.

2

An officer may not authorise a person other than a service policeman to exercise the powers conferred by subsection (1) unless—

a

the premises to be searched consist of service living accommodation falling within section 15(1)(b) or (c), and

b

it is likely that, if no search could be carried out before the earliest time by which it would be practicable to obtain the assistance of a service policeman, the purpose of the search would be frustrated or seriously prejudiced.

3

Subject to section 8, a person authorised under subsection (1) may seize and retain anything for which the search under this section was authorised.

8 Review by judicial officer1

Where any property has been seized and retained during a search under section 7, the officer who authorised the search must as soon as practicable request a judicial officer to undertake a review of the search and of the seizure and retention of anything seized and retained during it.

a

service living accommodation, or

b

other premises occupied as a residence (alone or with other persons) by a person who is subject to service law.

3

Subject to the following provisions of this section and without prejudice to any other enactment, a service policeman may enter and search any premises which are occupied as a residence (alone or with other persons) by a person to whom this subsection applies, for the purpose of arresting that person under any of the services Acts.

4

Subsection (3) applies to a person in relation to whom the power of arrest under any of the services Acts is exercisable only by virtue of section 131 of each of the 1955 Acts or section 51 of the 1957 Act.

5

Except for the purpose specified in paragraph (b) of subsection (1), the powers of entry and search conferred by this section—

a

are only exercisable if the service policeman has reasonable grounds for believing that the person whom he is seeking is on the premises, and

b

are limited, in relation to premises consisting of two or more separate dwellings, to powers to enter and search—

i

any parts of the premises which the occupiers of any dwelling comprised in the premises use in common with the occupiers of any other such dwelling, and

ii

any such dwelling in which the service policeman has reasonable grounds for believing that the person whom he is seeking may be.

6

The power of search conferred by this section is only a power to search to the extent that is reasonably required for the purpose for which the power of entry is exercised.

7

Subject to subsections (8) and (9), an officer may authorise a member of Her Majesty’s forces who is not a service policeman to exercise, in relation to premises consisting of—

a

service living accommodation of a person as respects whom the officer is commanding officer, or

b

other premises occupied as a residence (alone or with other persons) by a person who is subject to service law and as respects whom the officer is commanding officer,

the powers conferred by subsection (1) on a service policeman.

8

the offence in respect of which the arrest is to be made is an offence to which section 5 applies, and

b

the officer has reasonable grounds for believing that, if the arrest could not be made before the earliest time by which it would be practicable to obtain—

i

the assistance of a service policeman, or

ii

in a case where the powers conferred by section 17(1)(b) or (c) of the 1984 Act (entry for purposes of arrest) are exercisable by a member of a United Kingdom police force, the assistance of a member of such a force capable of exercising them,

the person to be arrested might evade arrest, conceal, damage, alter or destroy evidence or be a danger to himself or to others, or discipline or morale among members of any of Her Majesty’s forces might be undermined.

9

An officer may not authorise a person other than a service policeman to exercise the power conferred by subsection (1)(b) in relation to premises falling within subsection (2)(b) unless it is not practicable to obtain the assistance of a service policeman in time to take the necessary action to save life or limb or prevent serious damage to property.

10

The Defence Council may by regulations provide for the delegation by a commanding officer of his functions under this section.

Powers exercisable on arrest
10 Search upon arrest1

2

Subject to subsections (4), (8) and (9), a service policeman shall also have power to search the arrested person for anything—

a

which he might use to assist him to escape from custody, or

b

which might be evidence relating to an offence.

5

Subject to subsections (6) to (9), where a person (“the arrested person”) is to be or has been arrested under any of the services Acts by a person other than a service policeman, the commanding officer of the arrested person—

a

may, if the commanding officer has reasonable grounds for believing that the arrested person may have concealed on him anything that is subject to search, order the person exercising the power of arrest, on or after exercising the power, to search the arrested person for anything that is subject to search, or

b

may authorise the person exercising the power of arrest, on or after exercising the power, to search the arrested person for anything that is subject to search.

6

A commanding officer may not order or authorise the search of an arrested person under subsection (5)(a) or (b) unless he has reasonable grounds for believing that it is likely that, if the search could not be carried out before the earliest time by which it would be practicable to obtain assistance from—

a

a service policeman, or

b

in a case where the powers conferred by section 32 of the 1984 Act (search upon arrest) are exercisable by a member of a United Kingdom police force, a member of such a force capable of exercising those powers,

the person who is to be or has been arrested would escape from custody or conceal, alter or destroy evidence.

7
