GHG Legal Consultant protects your rights, challenges police conduct, & supports you every stage of the way! Hi, I’m Gail Hadfield‑Grainger. In 2012, I lost my partner, Anthony, to a fatal police shooting—an experience that transformed me from victim to voice. As an Accredited Police Station Representative with degrees in Law, Criminology, and a Master’s in Criminal Justice, I help people who need

justice and fairness. I believe that legal support should feel like a conversation—not an interrogation—and that justice is about people, not jargon.

DO POLICE ALWAYS NEED A WARRANT TO SEARCH?

No.

Some legal powers permit searches without a warrant, but every search still needs a lawful power and its conditions must be met.

The officer should identify the power being used, explain the grounds where required and make a record.

The correct power depends on where, when and why the search occurs.

DID YOU KNOW—you do not have to 'intend' to kill someone to be convicted of murder?

For murder in England and Wales, the prosecution must prove an unlawful killing together with an intention to:

⚖️ kill; or
⚖️ cause grievous bodily harm—meaning really serious injury.

This means a person may face a murder charge even where they insist they never intended anyone to die.

But intention cannot simply be assumed from the outcome. The evidence must be examined carefully, including:

• what happened before and during the incident
• the nature and duration of any attack
• any weapon allegedly used
• injuries and medical evidence
• messages, threats or alleged planning
• what each person actually did and intended
• anything said during the police interview

A murder investigation can develop very quickly. Decisions made at the police station—including whether to answer questions, provide a prepared statement or challenge limited disclosure—may become crucial later.

I have experience assisting with the preparation of serious and complex criminal cases and representing clients during police interviews. If you or a family member is being investigated in connection with a death, obtain representation immediately.

Police-station legal advice is FREE.

CAN POLICE ARREST SOMEONE JUST BECAUSE THEY SUSPECT AN OFFENCE?

Suspicion alone is not always enough.

Two Core Elements of Lawful Arrest:
An officer must satisfy two conditions for any summary arrest without a warrant:

➡Suspected involvement:
The officer has reasonable grounds to suspect the person is involved, committing, or about to commit a criminal offence.

➡ The Necessity Test:
The officer must reasonably believe that taking the person to a police station is necessary under one of the specific statutory reasons..

The reason should be explained and recorded.

Reasonable suspicion alone does not automatically make an arrest necessary. For an arrest under PACE 1984, s.24, the officer must also have reasonable grounds for believing arrest is necessary for a statutory reason. PACE Code G explains the necessity test.

WHAT DOES AN APPROPRIATE ADULT ACTUALLY DO?

A child or vulnerable adult may need an appropriate adult during important police custody and interview procedures.

Their role is to:

• support and assist the person
• help them understand what is happening
• support communication with the police
• help ensure that their rights are respected and that they are treated fairly

An appropriate adult does not replace a legal representative or provide independent legal advice. The two perform different roles—and someone may need both.

A juvenile or vulnerable suspect must have an appropriate adult for key custody and interview procedures. The appropriate adult supports safeguards and communication; they are not a substitute for independent legal advice. See PACE Code C, paras 1.7A–1.7B and section 11.

DO YOU REALLY GET “ONE PHONE CALL” AFTER ARREST?

Not quite.

If you are detained at a police station, you normally have the right to have one person told where you are as soon as practicable.

That does not necessarily mean you have an automatic right to personally make the call. The police may contact the person on your behalf.

In limited circumstances, this right can be delayed—but only where the legal conditions are met. The reason and length of any delay should be recorded in the custody record.

As an Accredited Police Station Representative, I can:

⚖️ check what has been recorded in the custody record
⚖️ establish why your request has been refused or delayed
⚖️ challenge decisions where the proper legal grounds are not met
⚖️ advise and represent you throughout your detention and interview

You can also ask for FREE and independent legal advice at the police station. That is separate from your right to have someone informed.

SHOULD YOU ANSWER POLICE QUESTIONS OR SAY “NO COMMENT”?

There is no single answer that is right for every case.

You have the right to remain silent—but a court may, in certain circumstances, draw an adverse inference if you later rely on an important fact that you could reasonably have mentioned during your police interview.

That does not mean you should automatically answer every question. A “no comment” interview may be appropriate in some cases, particularly where the police disclosure is limited or the evidence needs to be challenged.

The correct strategy depends on the allegation, the available evidence, the information disclosed by the police and your individual circumstances.

As an Accredited Police Station Representative, I can:

⚖️ obtain and assess the police disclosure
⚖️ explain the strengths and weaknesses of the evidence
⚖️ advise whether to answer questions, provide a prepared statement or make no comment
⚖️ protect your interests throughout the interview

Do not make this decision without legal advice.
Representation at the police station is FREE.

The police caution warns that a court may draw an inference if, when questioned, you fail to mention a fact later relied on in your defence. Section 34 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 applies only where its statutory conditions are met. Silence is a legal decision: obtain advice before interview.
