I noticed a woman dropped a ciggy butt on the pavement before she got
on a bus, and a PCSO came running up, to wanting her name and address.
She said to him,"You can't arrest me, you can't stop me getting onto this
bus, go away you silly officious little man" . LOL

At which point, she is detained for littering under s. 88 of the
Environmental Protection Act 1990, and for failing to give her name and
address under s. 50 of the Police Reform Act 2002 (Paragraph 3 of Schedule
4 as amended, paragraph 3(10) of Schedule 8 to the Serious Organised Crime
and Police Act 2005).

Not by a PCSO she won't be.

They are specifically NOT 'acting in the office of a constable' and
have no powers of arrest unless they see an imprisonable act take
place.
