Two issues are addressed here: the scope of applied linguistics, and the social justice issue of police procedures for dealing with limited proficiency speakers of majority languages. This is done by examining evidence produced by police in court, and the language addressed to second language speakers by police, particularly official cautions. Linguistic challenges to police evidence in court demand a wide range of techniques, including language testing. Some of these techniques clearly fall outside the domain of even a wide view of linguistics, thereby justifying through practical need the extension of applied linguistics beyond the 'linguistics applied' approach still advocated by some linguists. The social justice issue is addressed by examining police cautions and police procedures: it is shown that these clearly disadvantage second language speakers, and a range of solutions to this problem is suggested.
