Community support officers have no power of the law and cannot infringe any actions of the law against you - even if they witness it.
Special constables on the other hand do have powers of the law even if they are voluntary.
They probably took your number down in case an offence was made before or after they saw you as they may of seen you as suspicious.
Its crazy that community support officers get paid and have no powers of the law, yet special constables volunteer and have all the powers as a regular officer!
