Which area is addressed by PACE 1984 Code G, section 2.8?

• A. Arrest Criteria
• B. Stopping and Searching Powers
• C. Detention in Custody
• D. Evidence Collection Procedures

Answer: (B)

The main idea here is knowing which area PACE 1984 Code G covers. Code G is the part of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act that governs stopping and searching powers. It lays out when an officer may stop and search a person or vehicle, what grounds are required, how the search should be conducted, and what rights the person searched has, including the need to keep proper records. Section 2.8 sits within that stopping-and-search framework, so the area addressed is the powers and procedures for stopping and searching. The other topics—arrest criteria, detention in custody, and evidence collection procedures—belong to other codes or sections and are not the focus of Code G.
