“S 18 of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (as amended by s 111, Sch 7, Pt 3 of the Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005), which gave the police the power to enter and search a premises occupied or controlled by a person under arrest without a warrant, should be construed literally so that the power could only be used where the premises were, in fact, occupied or controlled by a person who was under arrest.”
