Part 3: Unmanned aircraft Schedule 9: Unmanned aircraft: powers of police officers relating to ANO 2016 Provision of evidence of consents for certain flights
Paragraph 6(2) confers on a constable the power to require a person to provide evidence of a "relevant consent" for a flight to take place. Paragraph 6(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 is question is or was the remote pilot or UAS operator, and if they have reasonable grounds for suspecting that a relevant consent is required for the flight to be lawful under the ANO 2016.
	Paragraph 6(3) provides that "relevant consent" means a permission, operational authorisation, LUC authorisation or certification required by, or referred to in, any of the following provisions of the ANO 2016: article 94A; article 265A(1)(b); article 265A(1)(c); article 265B(1)(b); article 265B(1)(c); and article 265E(3).
	Paragraph 6(4) and (5) provide 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 6(2). A person will only be guilty of an offence if they are or were the remote pilot or UAS operator and if the relevant consent is or was applicable. Paragraph 6(6) links to a defence which is provided in paragraph 10.
