That's what AI is saying:
>Schedule 7 is the law that allows the police to detain anyone at the UK borders without any requirement to show probable cause and hold them for up to nine hours, without seeking further justification. The detainee must respond to any questions, regardless of whether a lawyer is present. No lawyer is provided automatically.
>It is a criminal offence for the detainee to refuse to answer questions -- regardless of the grounds for that refusal or otherwise fully cooperate with the police.

- tomjen3 13y agoHmm, it seems that one wouldn't be in violation of that if every answer was "I want a lawyer before I am willing to answer that".
- seabee 13y agoResponding to the question and answering the question are two different things. Explicitly refusing to answer the question is an especially bad way to dodge a law punishing you for... refusing to answer the question.
