Thus he was not committing an offence and the police had no grounds to ask him for his name and address. Thus the arrest was illegal, just like the fixed penalty notice. If "picked on" means "enforced the law"... yes. He was under an obligation to give his name and address - if requested - under road traffic legislation. Which clause of what road traffic legislation? "Clause"? Acts don't have clauses; they have sections. |
