In my bylaws it says i have to produce my badge if requested by a customer, the police or authorised council officer ("council" meaning licencing authority where licence was issued).

So why do i have to produce and give details to another licence authority just because i am picking up in that area?, yes they had police with them but i do not understand why the licence authority (not mine) need my details.

I was told (not by the police) that if i didnt give my details i would be done for obstruction, is this the case.

i just dont know why i need to give another licensing authority all my details, why does he need to know who i am its nout to do with him.

take the pish all you need to.

All im trying to say is, if i need to follow all these rules do i need to follow rules that are made up.

Nothing is wrong with my badge or my car, i just dont know why i need to give another licensing authority all my details, why does he need to know who i am its nout to do with him.

I gave all the details i was asked for btw and im still on the road.

the original post was a question.

It does depend hwere you're from, some councils have delegated power to licensing officers from other areas.....its common across Merseyside and Bedfordshire.

Of course, that's not relevant as far as police per se are concerned, although it's not clear to what extent in this case it was the police and/or LO that was doing the asking.

Yes, but clearly he's going to be pished off whatever happens.

His question was specifically about whether the LOs and/or the police had the legal right to do what they did.

Well the rozzers do.....and according to the model conditions you have to stop for a police officer......as for the LO in another area, I'd say not, unless of course theres been an agreement like in the places I already mentioned.
