Case 180_121
180_121 interference
121. The Court observes that the taking of the applicants to police
stations had a legal basis in Articles 27.1-27.3 of the CAO and in the Police
Act. The CAO provided for a possibility to escort a person to a police
station. It also provided for a possibility to then apply an arrest procedure
while confining its use to “exceptional circumstances relating to the need
for a proper and expedient examination of an administrative case”. The
above measures could also be used for the purpose of putting an end to an
administrative offence or to establish the offender’s identity.
