Disqualify Drink/Drug Drivers at Roadside

[Drago]

Sorry @Drago, What`s PACE?

Police and Criminal Evidence Act. Its like a code of conduct for evidence and investigations, and poking people in the kidneys until they fess up is definitely not in it.

@Drago, from what you can remember, would you say that there is any part of PACE that's slightly questionable?

What I mean is, compared to Aussie system you made out the PACE is a good thing, is there nothing that you thought was less than it should or could be? My view is anything in law isn't perfect on account it's created by a political process. I'm hoping you have a few juicy examples of loopholes you could drive a police car through or at least a copper's size 11 boot (possibly in the ribs)! We won't tell anyone!

Police And Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/60/contents

It sets out various requirements regarding whatv the police are allowed to do.

Only in England and Wales. So not applicable in Scotland, thankfully!

Although police, judge and jury isn't ideal.

I think that some would approve of pop-up gallows in the back of police cars to tidy away suspected murder suspects.

Of that there is no doubt.

There's the "Glasgow Maiden", for use north of the border.

Scottish tribute band for Iron Maiden. A more terrible form of torture I cannot imagine!

Yes Scotland and Northern Ireland don't have PACE act like England and Wales but they have the equivalent through a mix of legislation. I think it makes sense to put it all together in one law personally.

I thought if you got caught you were up at court next day . If you report someone driving while drunk they are on it right away not like a lot of other offences.

No, you'd normally be bailed to appear in court at a future date. You'd only be remanded for court in the morning if you posed an unde risk to the public, such as a repeat drink driver in a short space of time, repeat disqualified driver, etc.

Yeah, but she's a visitor.
