Taiwan Police Legislation

Under what act are Taiwan Police empowered to enforce the law? Is there specific legislation that limits what force they can use? I had a quick look at the MOI website with no luck but thought I would ask here for some direction before digging too deep.

I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for, but here’s a link to an English translation of a law that seems to deal mainly with the use of weapons by the police:

Here’s the Chinese version:

The one you’re probably most interested in is the Police Power Exercise Act.
