Commentary First Group of Parts – Discipline Part 3 – Powers of Arrest, Search and Entry Chapter 3 – Powers of Entry, Search and Seizure
180.This chapter gives powers to judge advocates (and, in limited circumstances, to COs) to authorise the entry, normally by service police, into certain premises, the search of such premises and the seizure and retention of anything in relation to which the search was authorised. The provisions are based on powers in PACE and largely re-enact those in the Armed Forces Act 2001.
