# The Police (Retention and Disposal of Items Seized) Regulations 2002, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations revoke in relation to England and Wales the Police (Retention and Disposal of Items seized under section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994) Regulations 1999 in consequence of the amendment of that section and the addition of section 60AA to the 1994 Act (powers to require removal of disguises) by the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001. The amendments to the 1994 Act made by the 2001 Act do not extend to Scotland. These regulations make provision for the retention, safe-keeping, disposal and destruction of items seized under section 60 and 60AA in England and Wales. They have the same effect as the 1999 Regulations which will continue to apply in Scotland.
