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.
