UN has defined human rights, countries create legislation that supports the rights of its citizens. Police must follow them so not to breech people's rights.. Eg: Crimes Act 1900, section 431 (abolition of death penalty) supports article 3 (everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of person)LEPRA 2002 - section 99 provides arrest powers, but it must have lawful reason. Evidence ACT 1995. Search warrants > power to enter and search private residence for lawful reasons. Listening devices and Telephone for covert listening.
