The Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (Remote Reviews of Detention) (Specified Police Stations) Regulations 2003
These Regulations permit the review of detention of persons arrested but not charged required by section 40(1)(b) of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (“the 1984 Act”) to be conducted by an officer of at least the rank of inspector by way of video-conferencing facilities rather than by personal attendance at the police station where the person is being detained. Video-conferencing facilities are defined in section 45A(10) of the 1984 Act as any facilities (whether a live television link or other facilities) by means of which the officer performing the review and the arrested person and his legal representative (if he has one) can both see and hear each other.
