Abstract
Although not quite matching the vision of George Orwell, the year 1984 saw a powerful government, intent on law and order, promote the powers of the State at the expense of the civil liberties of the individual. The vehicle for this political measure was the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE), and the four ancillary Codes of Practice, which together form a comprehensive and controversial catalogue of police powers and obligations.Keywords
