Lord Justice Moses:
"It would, I think, be surprising if, alongside those closely defined powers and duties, there existed a common law, power and duty, exercisable and imposed not only by and on any constable but by and on every member of the public, bounded only by an uncertain and undefined condition of reasonableness." ([52] per Lord Bingham
Lord Bingham observed that any extension of police powers should be a matter for legislative enactment and not judicial decision ([53]).
