Conducting an examination
34. The examining officer must explain their role to the person and that Schedule 7 is a
part of counter-terrorism policing at the port/UK border, but that this does not mean that
they are suspected of being involved in terrorism. The purpose of the examination is to
determine whether the person appears to be someone who is or who has been concerned
in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. If requested, the
examining officer must provide sufficient information, such as an identification number
and location, to the person or his or her representative to enable the officer to be
identified in the event of any query or complaint.
35. The examining officer will explain how the examination will be conducted and must
offer a Schedule 7 Public Information Leaflet. The Public Information Leaflet is
available in multiple languages, and outlines the purpose and provisions of Schedule 7,
duties under Schedule 7, key points of the code of practice, including an individual’s
rights, and relevant contact details (including those needed to provide feedback or make a
complaint).
39. Where an officer decides it is necessary to examine a person for longer than an
hour, then questioning under paragraph 2 and 3 of Schedule 7 may only continue beyond
the hour point if the person has been detained under paragraph 6 of Schedule 7. Any
period of examination, including detention, must not exceed six hours from the
commencement of the examination.
Sure, but you're also on video committing the crime in front of police officers. The lawyer isn't going to help you get out of the charge for not answering questions, and if they still want your passwords the judge will absolutely just order you to give them up and keep stacking prison sentences until you comply.
