Afternoon all,
The De-Arrest Bit
Section 30 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, (as amended)
provides that a person who is arrested (other than at a police station)
should be taken to a police station as soon as is practicable.
Subsections 30(7) to 30(9) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (as
amended) set out the circumstances when, and the procedure required in
order that, an arrested person may be 'de-arrested' (a term in common use)
thus...
30(7) A person arrested by a constable at any place other than a police
station must be released without bail if the condition in subsection (7A)
is satisfied.
30(7A) The condition is that, at any time before the person arrested
reaches a police station, a constable is satisfied that there are no
grounds for keeping him under arrest or releasing him on bail under section
30A.
30(8) A constable who releases a person under subsection (7) above shall
record the fact that he has done so.
30(9) The constable shall make the record as soon as is practicable after
the release.
Regards,
