How it is built, by role

The same roles apply across the whole collection. Nothing in this block is specific to this site; what the site says about itself is quoted word for word below it.

  1. 1

    Edge network

    Visitors reach a site through an edge layer: a content delivery network with a web application firewall in front of it.

  2. 2

    Application host

    The edge talks to an application host that serves the site and renders its pages.

  3. 3

    Data

    What the pages show comes from a relational database or, for a site pre-rendered at build time, from data files built into its release.

  4. 4

    Scheduled measurement

    The collection measures its sites on a schedule: content dates and site health nightly, page counts read from each site’s sitemap weekly. Every reading is kept with its date. A site too large to re-walk is not re-measured, and shows no trend.

  5. 5

    Public status feed

    A monitoring panel sends a signed report on uptime, deploys and backups once a day, and the Operations page publishes it. A figure on this page that comes from that report says so.

In the site's own words

Each passage is copied unaltered from a page the site publishes, with the address it was taken from and the date we took it. We add nothing between them.

“What police can take from your phone, what they can make you unlock, and what it costs to refuse — England & Wales, Scotland, Australia and the United States.”

“This is legal information, not legal advice, and it is quote-anchored, not reviewed by a lawyer. Every claim on this site is attributed to a named source with the supporting text quoted verbatim — see /methodology and /sources.”

“PACE s.22(1) says that, subject to subsection (4), anything seized by a constable, or taken away by a constable following a requirement made by virtue of section 19 or 20, “may be retained so long as is necessary in all the circumstances”.”
