APPENDIX TWO

The Judges' Rules
1. When a police officer is trying to discover whether,
or by whom, an offence has been committed he is entitled
to question any person, whether suspected or not, from
whom he thinks that useful information may be obtained.
This is so whether or not the person in question has been
taken into custody so long as he has not been charged with
the offence or informed that he may be prosecuted for it.
2. As soon as a police officer has evidence which would
afford reasonable grounds for suspecting that a person has
committed an offence, he shall caution that person or cause
him to be cautioned before putting to him any questions,
or further questions, relating to that offence.

The caution shall be in the following terms: --

"You are not obliged to say anything unless you wish to
do so but what you say may be put into writing and given
in evidence."

When after being cautioned a person is being questioned,
or elects to make a statement, a record shall be kept of the
time and place at which any such questioning or statement
began and ended and of the persons present.

3.
a. When a person is charged with or informed that
he may be prosecuted for an offence he shall be cautioned
in the following terms: --

'Do you wish to say anything? You are not obliged to
say anything unless you wish to do so but whatever you say
will be taken down in writing and may be given in evidence.'
