I think it’s too subtle to be a practical difference: the circumstances are wether it’s _suspected_ to be related to a crime. That’s a low enough bar to be almost non-existent.
Then you get additional fines if your refusal can be seen as preventing current crime from being dealt with, or helping further crimes. Which also comes down to perception.

All in all this law is extremely police friendly.
