Heres some cases and descriptions I had for police arest and searches in my notes:
Ledwith V. Roberts 1937-two men were arrested for loitering with intent to commit a crime. They took the police to court for false arrest and won. Was the arrest valid? Shows police cannot arrest for no reason.
R V. Walters 1979-man was refused bail as he had committed murder. There was no evidence to prove that he was a thread or that he would flee. He appealed the decision and was granted bail.
