Using Force

Using Force

The police also have the power to use force when conducting searches but again, this must be necessary and proportionate in the circumstances.  The topical case of Stewart & Chergui held that where a police officer was searching a flat and pulled a person from a sofa and generally acted with unnecessary force, the Claimant was awarded £350 in damages.

If you, your vehicle or your property have been unlawfully searched you may have a claim for damages against the police.
