0 7 Arvin, a police officer, saw Brett and Chas come out of a shop. Both were laughing and
Arvin heard Brett say to Chas, “Did you see the way she went down when I punched
her?” Arvin was aware of a woman screaming in the shop. He followed Brett, stopped
him and asked for his name. Brett said, “Mouse, officer. But you can call me Mickey.”
Suggest why, according to English law (Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984), Arvin
could lawfully arrest Brett in these circumstances.

0 8 Investigative journalists published a series of highly controversial articles alleging that
vulnerable people were being exploited at work in East Town. Eventually, a number of
persons were convicted of various offences connected with the exploitation.
Elena was a very vocal critic of the work of the journalists and of the convictions.
Despite fury from many in the area, she expressed her views in every way possible.
She asserted that journalists, lawyers and local government officials connected with the
affair were involved in bribery and corruption. Some of those she accused were
contemplating actions for defamation. Additionally, the police were considering
prosecuting Elena for harassment offences.
Assuming that actions in defamation and prosecution for harassment offences go ahead,
advise Elena on the use that she might make of Article 10 of the European Convention on
Human Rights (the right to freedom of expression).
