Despite the impression given by heavy-handed investigations in TV police dramas, there are many checks and measures on police powers of investigation that arise out of numerous sources of legislation, codes of practice, and other guidance. In fact, where the police have already contacted an individual and secured their cooperation with an investigation, it will often not be necessary to proceed to an arrest at all.
At Vardags our intimate understanding of both the legislative framework and the case law regulating police powers allows us to make timely and effective intervention on behalf of our clients to minimise the personal impact of the investigation wherever possible. Should you have any reason to fear an unwanted visit from the police, please contact us immediately to discuss your concerns further with one of our legal experts.
