EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order brings into operation on 31st August 2006 the revision of paragraph 4 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 Code of Practice for the exercise by: police officers of statutory powers of stop and search; police officers and police staff of requirements to record public encounters (“PACE Code A”) which was laid before Parliament on 10th August 2006. The revision of paragraph 4 of PACE Code A (recording requirements including recording of encounters not governed by statutory powers) enables constables of the British Transport Police operating from certain specified locations and exercising their powers throughout England and Wales to provide an electronic receipt rather than a full record when they undertake a stop or a stop and search. A full record will be made available to the person at a later time. In consequence of this revision, the applicable Notes for Guidance are revised and a new Annex D (use of an electronic receipt as an interim record of a stop or stop and search) is inserted into PACE Code A.
