b

has arrived in Northern Ireland with the intention of leaving the United Kingdom soon for that purpose.

3

The constable may—

exercise any of the powers in sub-paragraph (5) in the case of the person, or

b

direct a qualified officer to do so.

4

b

to search for travel documents relating to the person and to take possession of any that the constable or officer finds;

c

to inspect any travel document relating to the person;

d
