Part 3: Unmanned aircraft Schedule 9: Unmanned aircraft: powers of police officers relating to ANO 2016 Provision by UAS operators of evidence of registration
Paragraph 3(2) confers on a constable the power to require a UAS operator to provide evidence of registration. Paragraph 2(1) provides that a constable may exercise this power if he or she has reasonable grounds for believing that a flight by a UA is taking place or has taken place and that the person in question is or was the UAS operator, 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 in investigating any offences or incidents in which a UA has been involved.
	Paragraph 3(3) provides that the term "relevant registration requirement" has the same meaning as in paragraph 2 of Schedule 9.
	Paragraph 3(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 3(2). A person will only be guilty of an offence, subject to the defence referred to in paragraph 3(6), if they are or were the UAS operator and if the relevant registration requirement is or was applicable.
