317B: Road blocks

You could also call this:

“Police can set up checkpoints on roads to stop and check vehicles”

This section of the law, which was about road blocks, has been removed. It is no longer part of the current law. The government took it out on 1 October 2012 when they made changes to the rules about searching and watching people. If you want to know more about why they removed it, you can look at section 325(6) of the Search and Surveillance Act 2012.
