I'd rather not get hassled by the cops, but oh well i guess there just protecting us BEFORE anything happens

[FLYSLY]

who's decision is that?

What an absolutely stupid question/point you are trying to make.

[TurboX]

Just think of it this way...

now they have talked to you and know your name, you may be less interested in doing something silly

you you might have done if you didnt think they would know your name and address.

Maybe they did you or your 30 mates a favour....

[Taso84]

Ah pipe down they were doing thier job, your 15 and the world is against you. I wouldnt worry.

When your old enough to own a house or have possessions of any worth, you'd care that this was being done aswell.

And yes, they are allowed to ask you questions. You dont have to answer, but you must give you name and address i believe.

Well actually you dont even have to give your name and address unless your driving.

Legally the police are allowed to search you and take down details under the following circumstances.

1) They have reason to believe you are carrying an illicit substance or concealed weapon or have been involved in a crime

2) You agree to it

3) They have a warrant.

The following by themselves are not legitimate reasons:

1) "Increasing crime in the area"

2) The time is 3am and your walking on the street.

3) You are driving a defective vehicle

4) You are not of anglo ethnic origin

5) You are wearing clothes including a hoodie that are cheap, not washed, and "typical" of criminals

6) You looked at them funny

but mayb theres something your not telling us

Yes they do under circumstance.

Under circumstance Police have the right to ask you to identify yourself.

By giving your name and address, or alternatively showing ID.

Crimes Act 1958

Section

456AA. Requirement to give name and address

(1) A member of the police force may request a

person to state his or her name and address if the

member believes on reasonable grounds that the

person—

(a) has committed or is about to commit an

offence, whether indictable or summary; or

(b) may be able to assist in the investigation of

an indictable offence which has been

committed or is suspected of having been

committed.

(2) A member of the police force who makes a

request under sub-section (1) must inform the

person of the grounds for his or her belief in

sufficient detail to allow the person to understand

the nature of the offence or suspected offence.

Like i said in my earlier post, they would have taken ur details to help them in any future investigations. So in this case it comes under Sub-section 1 (b) and by informing you about the increased crime in the area the officer has satisfied Sub-section 2.

ok so basically according to GTR STEALTH's post, they are allowed to take your details.

They would've taken mine anyway because i didn't have any id (and still dont).

Taso84 is this research or what you THINK is right, i think i know which one, and also stop assuming that there isn't something that i'm not telling you. If you're trying to imply that i am a young criminal i'm pretty sure that i wouldn't be posting on here where the police could find me through my ip address etc.

What GTR stealth said is true, what i was trying to iterate was that they cant ask u for no reason, like general crime, there has to be a specific offence that u could assist with the investigation.
