What Powers Do Port Police Have?
Discussion
Popped down to Portbury Docks today to see if the Fiat 500's had started arriving, they had so I took a few snaps, not good ones as I was very aware I was being watched by the Port Police.
Anyway as I drove off they persude me as far as the Motorway where they cleared off.

some of the ports still have their own forces-their powers are the same as any other pc but normally only within their area-ie the port,also in the surrounding area and to follow up any incident that relates to port business.dover has one of the largest forces left.all the major ports had them.some where merged with btp-years ago i worked with a guy who was hull docks police-he is still serving as well.
hmr&c are a bit different their powers are a bit scary

The Port of Bristol Police, is a very small police force responsible for the security of the Port of Bristol estate in England which includes Royal Portland Dock.
Officers of this force are sworn as constables and have very limited jurisdiction on port estate lands and the immediate surrounding area, up to one mile from the boundary of the port estates.
Any serious incidents or major crime becomes the responsibility of the local Home Office police force, Avon and Somerset Constabulary as the force is a security body.

" 29. Crime and taxation.—
(1) Personal data processed for any of the following purposes—
(a)the prevention or detection of crime,
(b)the apprehension or prosecution of offenders, or
(c)the assessment or collection of any tax or duty or of any imposition of a similar nature,
are exempt from the first data protection principle (except to the extent to which it requires compliance with the conditions in Schedules 2 and 3) and section 7 in any case to the extent to which the application of those provisions to the data would be likely to prejudice any of the matters mentioned in this subsection."
In case that's not entirely clear Section 7 is the section which allows you access to the data,as you can see certain data is exempt from Section 7 by virtue of Section 29.
