Part 3: Unmanned aircraft Schedule 9: Unmanned aircraft: powers of police officers relating to ANO 2016 Provision by remote pilots of information about UAS operators
Paragraph 2(2) confers on a constable the power to require a remote pilot to provide information as to the identity of the person or persons who are or were the UAS operator for the flight, or the person or persons who made the UA available to the remote pilot. Paragraph 2(1) provides that a constable may exercise this power if they have reasonable grounds for believing that a flight by a UA is taking place or has taken place and that the person in question is the remote pilot, and if they have reasonable grounds for suspecting that a "relevant registration requirement" is or was applicable. This provision will assist constables in enforcing the registration requirement and related offence and in investigating any offences or incidents in which a UA has been involved.
	Paragraph 2(3) provides that a relevant registration requirement is a requirement imposed or referred to in the following provisions of the ANO 2016: article 265A(5)(a); article 265A(5)(b); article 265A(6)(a); article 265A(6)(b); article 265(7)(a); article 265(7)(b); article 265A(9)(a); article 265A(9)(b); article 265E(1)(a); and article 265E(1)(b).
	Paragraph 2(4) and (5) provides that a person is guilty of an offence and liable on summary 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 2(2). A person will only be guilty of an offence if they are or were the remote pilot, if the relevant registration requirement is or was applicable and if they could have provided information of the kind required when asked. Paragraph 2(6) links to a defence which is provided in paragraph 10.
