1.5 - Reasonable Grounds
Reasonable grounds can be established if an officer of the ECPF or Federal Police personally witnesses a jailable offence occur or observes an individual perform a hand-to-hand in a known drug area.
Reasonable grounds may also be established if two of the following factors are met:
Failure to produce identification;
Seen entering, being present in, or leaving the immediate area of an active crime scene where a jailable offence has occurred;
Overhearing a conversation or receiving witness statements identifying individuals who are about to, or are committing, or have committed a crime;
Failure to provide a reasonable excuse to justify face concealment within one block of a bank, government property or a crime scene;
Any individual seen leaving the bank during the commission of a bank robbery;
Relevant forensic evidence (blood, fingerprints, bullet casings, positive GSR tests) is found linking an individual to a crime.
Individuals entering or exiting restricted areas (See D19), these being:
Bank Vaults
Airside of all Eclipse City Airfields
Police Stations
Fort Zancudo
Prison
Palmer-Taylor Power Station
A police drug detection dog detects narcotics on a person (including any vehicle in their possession or control).
A police dog may inspect anyone seen entering, being present in, or leaving the immediate area of an active crime scene or restricted area.
The individual may then be searched by a police officer if the police drug detection dog has indicated that it has detected the presence of an illicit substance.
