First, the <a href="/wiki/Police_and_Criminal_Evidence_Act_1984" title="Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984">Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984</a> section 1 allows a constable to stop and search people if a constable 'has reasonable grounds for suspecting' that they will 'find stolen or prohibited articles', they may seize the articles, and they may use reasonable force.<a href="#cite_note-114">[114]</a> The constable must give their name, police station, and grounds for the search. People cannot be made to remove clothing in public, except an outer coat, jacket or gloves.<a href="#cite_note-115">[115]</a> Because of the widespread problem of <a href="/wiki/Race_discrimination" class="mw-redirect" title="Race discrimination">race discrimination</a> in stop and search, the Home Office Code A says that 'reasonable suspicion cannot be based on generalisations or stereotypical images' of people being involved in crime.<a href="#cite_note-116">[116]</a> It was formerly seen as 'contrary to constitutional principle' to search someone to find whether or not there are grounds for arrest.<a href="#cite_note-117">[117]</a> But since 1994, there is no need for police to show reasonable suspicion to search someone to prevent violence or the carrying of offensive weapons.<a href="#cite_note-118">[118]</a> In 2015 the Supreme Court held suspicionless searches were held to be compatible with <a href="/wiki/ECHR_article_5" class="mw-redirect" title="ECHR article 5">ECHR article 5</a>.<a href="#cite_note-119">[119]</a> Under section 24, constables can arrest people without a warrant if they are committing an offence, or if there are reasonable grounds for suspecting they will.<a href="#cite_note-120">[120]</a> The meaning of 'reasonable grounds' is not exacting, but a police officer must not arrest someone in bad faith, or irrationally, or if a suspect is cooperating and arrest is therefore unnecessary.<a href="#cite_note-121">[121]</a> Otherwise, a justice of the peace may issue a warrant for arrest, require attendance at court, in writing, and it can be executed by a constable.<a href="#cite_note-122">[122]</a> With a warrant, a constable can enter and search premises to make an arrest, or enter and search after an arrest. In addition, any person can make a '<a href="/wiki/Citizens%27_arrest" class="mw-redirect" title="Citizens' arrest">citizens' arrest</a> of another person who is in the act of committing an <a href="/wiki/Indictable_offence" title="Indictable offence">indictable offence</a>.<a href="#cite_note-123">[123]</a> Anyone being arrested must be told the fact of arrest, and the reasons, or be told as soon as practicable, and if they are not the arrest is unlawful.<a href="#cite_note-124">[124]</a> People who are arrested must be brought to a police station as soon as practicable, and there must either be released, charged or detained for questioning.<a href="#cite_note-125">[125]</a> People can only be detained without charge for 24 hours, but this can be extended to 36 hours for an <a href="/wiki/Indictable_offence" title="Indictable offence">indictable offence</a>, or another 36 hours (i.e. 72 hours in total) but only with approval of a magistrate's court where the detainee has a right to legal representation.<a href="#cite_note-126">[126]</a> People can be searched at a police station with an <a href="/wiki/Police_ranks_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Police ranks of the United Kingdom">inspector</a>'s authority, but can only do intimate searches of orifices if there are reasonable grounds for thinking there is a class A drug or article that could cause injury. A detainee has the right to inform a friend or relative, and consult a solicitor, but this right can be delayed by 36 hours if arrested for an indictable offence or 48 hours for terrorism.<a href="#cite_note-127">[127]</a> Interviews should be recorded, people can be photographed and drug tested without their consent.

A judicial commissioner's approval is further needed if a dwelling, bedroom or office is being bugged, and if refused the police can appeal to the <a href="/wiki/Investigatory_Powers_Commissioner" title="Investigatory Powers Commissioner">Investigatory Powers Commissioner</a>.<a href="#cite_note-173">[173]</a> On top of this, the <a href="/wiki/Regulation_of_Investigatory_Powers_Act_2000" title="Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000">Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000</a> which also generally allows surveillance by police, intelligence, <a href="/wiki/HMRC" class="mw-redirect" title="HMRC">HMRC</a> and councils to obtain private information ('directed'), or surveillance of a residence or vehicle ('intrusive') if for the purpose of national security, preventing serious crime, or protecting UK economic well-being. Only 'intrusive' surveillance requires approval by a judicial commissioner.<a href="#cite_note-174">[174]</a> This has frequently led to abuse, for instance, in one case with a family being put under surveillance to see if they lived in a catchment area of an oversubscribed school,<a href="#cite_note-175">[175]</a> and in another an intelligence officer infiltrating a protest group and fathering a child, after taking a dead child's identity.<a href="#cite_note-176">[176]</a> Surveillance in public places does not engage the human right to privacy, according to Kinloch v HM Advocate, where evidence of the defendant money laundering was gathered by police following the suspect in public spaces.<a href="#cite_note-177">[177]</a> Second, although the <a href="/wiki/Investigatory_Powers_Act_2016" title="Investigatory Powers Act 2016">Investigatory Powers Act 2016</a> section 2 creates a duty to consider whether means less intrusive to privacy could be used, warrants can be issue for targeted or bulk interception of any data, including to assist other governments, but only to detect serious crime, protect national security, or protect the UK's economic well-being, and this must be proportionate.<a href="#cite_note-178">[178]</a> Applications are made to the Home Secretary or other appropriate ministers, and must be approved by a judicial commissioner with written reasons for any refusal.<a href="#cite_note-179">[179]</a> Warrants can be issued against Members of Parliament with the consent of the <a href="/wiki/Prime_minister" title="Prime minister">prime minister</a>.<a href="#cite_note-180">[180]</a> Interception should not be disclosed in judicial proceedings.<a href="#cite_note-181">[181]</a> Local councils are able to carry out interceptions, albeit with authority of a justice of the peace.

While there are loose limits on cross-ownership of TV and newspapers,<a href="#cite_note-226">[226]</a> there is no regulation yet separate advertising business and internet media platforms where their interests conflict with public goals. The <a href="/wiki/Communications_Act_2003" title="Communications Act 2003">Communications Act 2003</a> sections 319–321, regulates television (but not explicitly internet broadcasts, or newspapers) to ensure that diverse views are heard, and to restrict discriminatory viewing, or the stop misleading information, and allows a complaints procedure.<a href="#cite_note-227">[227]</a> The UK's transparent, and publicly accountable system of TV media regulation is consistently held to be compatible with freedom of expression.<a href="#cite_note-228">[228]</a> Two of the UK's TV networks, the BBC and Channel 4, are publicly owned and accountable, through an arm's length appointment process overseen by the government. However most television channels are funded through advertising revenue. There is also effectively no regulation of standards on internet media, although the <a href="/wiki/House_of_Commons_committee_on_fake_news" class="mw-redirect" title="House of Commons committee on fake news">House of Commons committee on fake news</a> called for the same regulation as on TV to be applied after Facebook data theft and psychologically targeted political ads were used by ‘Vote Leave’ in the <a href="/wiki/2016_Brexit_poll" class="mw-redirect" title="2016 Brexit poll">2016 Brexit poll</a>.<a href="#cite_note-auto-183">[183]</a> Second, censorship and obscenity laws have been a highly traditional limit on freedom of expression. The <a href="/wiki/Theatres_Act_1968" title="Theatres Act 1968">Theatres Act 1968</a> prohibits obscenity in plays, that is 'indecent, offensive, disgusting or injurious to morality' but with a defence in the public good, while the <a href="/wiki/Video_Recordings_Act_1984" title="Video Recordings Act 1984">Video Recordings Act 1984</a> section 9 makes it illegal to supply of a video without a classification certificate, which is graded according to sexual or violent activity. Obscene publications, since early common law,<a href="#cite_note-229">[229]</a> have been banned although the idea of what is 'obscene' has changed from Victorian values.<a href="#cite_note-230">[230]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Obscene_Publications_Act_1959" title="Obscene Publications Act 1959">Obscene Publications Act 1959</a> defines 'obscene' as having the effect to 'deprave and corrupt' people, and allows police or the <a href="/wiki/Director_of_Public_Prosecutions" title="Director of Public Prosecutions">Director of Public Prosecutions</a> to search and seize obscene material, subject to a defence for literary, artistic, scientific or other merit. Pornography, but also non-sexual gay literature, was suppressed until the 1990s,<a href="#cite_note-231">[231]</a> There are around 70 cases each year, but today the <a href="/wiki/Criminal_Prosecution_Service" class="mw-redirect" title="Criminal Prosecution Service">Criminal Prosecution Service</a> Guidelines only recommend charges for 'extreme' cases. The controversial <a href="/wiki/Digital_Economy_Act_2017" title="Digital Economy Act 2017">Digital Economy Act 2017</a>, which would have required age verification on the basis of protecting children to access all pornographic websites, by requiring companies take bank card details, has been repeatedly delayed. Third, there are three main public order offences, based on incitement to disaffection, racial hatred, and terrorism.<a href="#cite_note-232">[232]</a> Disaffection means attempting to persuade the armed forces,<a href="#cite_note-233">[233]</a> police,<a href="#cite_note-234">[234]</a> or others,<a href="#cite_note-235">[235]</a> to revolt or even withhold services. Racial hatred means 'hatred against a group of persons defined by reference to colour, race, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origins', and it is an offence to threaten, abuse or insult anyone, including through displays, to stir up racial hatred.<a href="#cite_note-236">[236]</a> The same idea extends to religious hatred, sexual orientation and in practice disability.<a href="#cite_note-237">[237]</a> In international law, it is also explicit, that advocacy of hatred includes 'incitement to discrimination' (as well as hostility or violence).<a href="#cite_note-238">[238]</a> The <a href="/wiki/Terrorism_Act_2006" title="Terrorism Act 2006">Terrorism Act 2006</a> defines incitement to terrorism as 'direct or indirect encouragement or other inducement' for 'commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism', as well as glorifying terrorist acts (that is 'any form of praise or celebration') punishable with 7 years in prison.<a href="#cite_note-239">[239]</a> Fourth, the laws of <a href="/wiki/Defamation" title="Defamation">defamation</a> and <a href="/wiki/Breach_of_confidence" title="Breach of confidence">breach of confidence</a> are designed to balance people's reputations and rights to privacy. The <a href="/wiki/Defamation_Act_2013" title="Defamation Act 2013">Defamation Act 2013</a> states that defamation means a statement that has or would 'cause serious harm to the reputation of the claimant', and if that claimant is a profit making body this requires 'serious financial loss'.<a href="#cite_note-240">[240]</a> The truth is always a defence for stating something factual, and a defendant may always show their statement 'is substantially true', or that they made a statement of honest opinion, rather than an assertion of fact. Further, of the statement is in the public interest, it will not be unlawful. Connected to this, news outlets should ask someone who is a subject of a story for their side.<a href="#cite_note-241">[241]</a> Internet operators are liable for statements on their websites that are defamatory if the poster is hard to identify, and they fail on a notice by the claimant to remove the statement within 48 hours.<a href="#cite_note-242">[242]</a> There can be no claim for defamation if a defendant has the 'absolute privilege' of making a statement in Parliament or reports, in the course of high state duty, internal documents or a foreign embassy, or reports of courts' proceedings.<a href="#cite_note-243">[243]</a> There is also 'qualified privilege' which gives a defence to defamation, but only if the writer asks the subject for an explanation or contradiction, for any legislative proceedings outside the UK, public enquiries, non-UK government documents, and matters of an international organisation.<a href="#cite_note-244">[244]</a> Given the global nature of media, a claim in the UK must ensure that the UK is the 'most appropriate place', there is no long trial by jury, and courts can order removal of claims from many websites if it has spread.<a href="#cite_note-245">[245]</a> Claims for breach of confidence are meant to protect the right to privacy. Examples have included an <a href="/wiki/Injunction" title="Injunction">injunction</a> against a retired security service officer who wrote a book called <a href="/wiki/Spycatcher" title="Spycatcher">Spycatcher</a> that revealed official secrets.<a href="#cite_note-246">[246]</a> But the government lost its claim to have an injunction against a newspaper on the effects of <a href="/wiki/Thalidomide" title="Thalidomide">thalidomide</a> on new births.<a href="#cite_note-247">[247]</a> The courts have stated that there is no difference between the protection offered by the common law, and that guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights.<a href="#cite_note-248">[248]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Association_and_assembly">Association and

Like with other rights, this cannot be restricted without a lawful justification, that goes no further than necessary in a democratic society, to protect security, safety, health or other people's rights. Generally, the right to freedom of association involves three main principles.<a href="#cite_note-251">[251]</a> First, there is a right to suffer no disadvantage for associating with others, for instance, because if an employer penalises workers for joining a trade union.<a href="#cite_note-252">[252]</a> Second, one must be able to associate with others on the terms one wishes so that, for example, a political party or a trade union must be able to admit or expel members based on their political values and actions.<a href="#cite_note-253">[253]</a> The flip side of this is that common law recognises a right not to be unjustly excluded from an association.
