​​Police Stop and Search Rights under the Terrorism Act

Picture
  • Every person has a right to photograph in a public place
  • It is not against the law to photograph a police officer undertaking normal duties
  • The police do have a duty to investigate incidents which may give rise to suspicion
  • If stopped by a police officer remain calm and polite
  • You are not required to give any personal details unless driving a car or you are arrested
  • Officers may stop and search and view images if they believe they could be used in connection with terrorism
  • Officers have no power to delete images
  • PCSOs may not search without a police officer present
  • You must be provided with a copy of the Stop & Search slip which will include the officer’s identity.
  • We all need to be vigilant against terrorism and support the police where possible as well as protect our rights to photograph in a public place.
