Thanks. It’s a disgusting law and an amazing word salad too.
It’s not straightforward though, and doesn’t apply to be being stopped by police in the street etc. Any law like this that requires high level approval, will be used rarely and will only be deemed proportionate for serious cases. The person would have also need to have been arrested or had a warrant issued against them.
I’m not excusing or defending it though. It’s a good example of the never ending creep of authoritarianism.
It’s gonna be really hard to prove against individuals too, where “I’ve forgotten” would go a long way.
