A police officer, or the occupier of a premises, or a person authorized by the occupier may arrest without warrant any person he or she believes on reasonable and probable grounds to be on the premises in contravention of section two of the Trespass To Property Act

True
False

The correct answer is: True

The assertion is true because the Trespass to Property Act provides specific provisions allowing certain individuals, such as police officers and occupiers of premises, to arrest someone without a warrant if they believe that the individual is trespassing. This authority is granted to ensure the protection of property rights and to maintain order on the premises. The requirement of "reasonable and probable grounds" ensures that this power is not exercised arbitrarily; it must be based on a reasonable belief that a trespass has occurred. The Act is designed to balance the rights of the property owner with the legal rights of individuals, allowing for a swift response to unauthorized access while providing a safeguard against misuse of the arrest authority.
