Study Notes

Verbal Warnings

Verbal warnings must be given in a language known to the offender, or in the national language.
Police officers must identify themselves, state their intention, and clarify what they expect the offender to do.
If the offender is a foreigner, warnings should be given in English accompanied by demonstrative actions.
Verbal warnings should be delivered loudly and clearly.

Non-Issuance of Verbal Warnings

Failure to issue a verbal warning is justified when there is an imminent threat to life or property, necessitating the use of force.

Use of Non-Lethal Weapons

Non-lethal measures such as batons, pepper spray, or stun guns may be employed if a suspect is violent and lesser physical measures have proven ineffective.
