Part 3: Unmanned aircraft Schedule 9: Unmanned aircraft: powers of police officers relating to ANO 2016 Provision of evidence of exemptions for certain flights
Paragraph 7(2) confers on a constable the power to require evidence of an "ANO exemption" for a flight to take place. Paragraph 7(1) provides that a constable may exercise this power if they have reasonable grounds for believing that a flight is taking place or has taken place and that the person in question is or was the remote pilot or UAS operator, and reasonable grounds for suspecting that the flight contravenes a provision of the ANO 2016 in the absence of an exemption.
	Paragraph 7(3) provides that "ANO exemption" means an exemption under article 266 of the ANO 2016.
	Paragraph 7(4) provides that the evidence which a constable may require a person to provide includes evidence that an ANO exemption is applicable.
	Paragraph 7(5) and (6) provides that a person is guilty of an offence and liable on conviction to a fine not exceeding level 2 on the standard scale if they fail to comply with a requirement imposed by a constable under paragraph 7(2). A person will only be guilty of an offence if they are or were the remote pilot or UAS operator and if the ANO exemption is or was applicable. Paragraph 7(7) links to a defence which is provided in paragraph 10.
