So what's the deal with PCSOs?
Broadly I thought they only had normal powers of a citizen e.g. to arrest and call in real coppers etc - but someone wrote they are able to fine cyclists but not motor vehicles (? fining without being an officah of the law whut now)
Can you just routinely ignore them and what they say? What are the extent of their powers. Can they stop and search ever. Are you obliged to provide a name and address as to a real officer..
