Yes – it is an offence to: • assault, resist or wilfully obstruct an accredited person in the execution of their duty or any person assisting them; • impersonate an accredited person with intent to deceive or make any statement or do any act calculated to falsely suggest that a person is accredited. It is also an offence for an accredited person to make any statement or do any act calculated to suggest that they have powers which exceed the powers they actually hold.
