Police Ask Questions — But You’re FREE to Walk Away 🚓🛑📜⚖️👀

Описание: 🎥 KNOW YOUR RIGHTS – EPISODE 18
Stop & Account – What Police Can (and Can’t) Demand

Police across England and Wales often stop members of the public and begin asking questions — a practice commonly referred to as Stop & Account.
It sounds official. It sounds compulsory.
But the law says otherwise.

In this episode, we break down what Stop & Account actually is, why it is voluntary, and how it differs from statutory Stop & Search powers. Using real-world case studies from Scorpion Audits, DJ Audits, and The Gwent Auditor, we examine how officers sometimes blur the line between a request and a demand — and why that matters for your rights.

You’ll learn:

✅ What Stop & Account really means under PACE Code A
✅ What police may ask — and what you are not required to answer
✅ When refusal is lawful, not obstruction
✅ Why officers must rely on statute, not “procedure”
✅ How reasonable suspicion changes everything
✅ Why filming and silence are both protected
✅ When misuse may cross into abuse of power under Section 26 CJCA 2015

This episode shows how language, authority, and assumption are often used to create compliance — and how knowing the law keeps the balance where it belongs.
