491 Use of force against persons

(1) This Chapter does not authorise—

(a) an authorised officer (or a person assisting or otherwise acting under the direction or authority of an authorised officer) to use force against a person in the exercise or purported exercise of a function under this Chapter; or

(b) without limiting paragraph (a) , a warrant to be issued under this Chapter authorising a person to use force against a person.

(3) This section has effect despite any other provision of this Chapter in relation to the use of force against a person, even if the other provision is expressed as authorising the use of force for the purposes of the provision.
