JetSet Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 It would seem that they can. A Community Police Officer, has the same powers and responsibilities as any other Police Officer. The only difference is that they are deployed in a very specific area and not generally deployable over the whole area covered by the police authority. They are intended to become part of a specific community, maintaining a visible and proactive presence within that community. EDIT. It would seem that in most cases if they don't stop you and issue you with an on the spot fine then they take no further action as the only data a handheld records is your speed.
