harry hayes Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I m not even sure that wardens have the power to demand your name and address should you refuse to give it. When I was a PC, for many offences, we had to use "the ways and means act" to get out of that difficulty. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harry hayes Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 No Wolfie - they had ways of making you walk- as the said abstract act was used often for cycling offences. Perhaps a cyclist refused his name and address, you changed tack and suggested he may have stolen the bike, a much more serious offence, which achieved a good and proper result. So perhaps Wolfie was right in the first place. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
