Review police powers and behaviour during the lockdown

Petition Details

After the lockdown, the Government should conduct an inquiry into police powers and police behaviour during the lockdown. It is imperative that police do not maintain the powers that were appropriate during the emergency situation but are no longer appropriate in normal circumstances.

Additional Information

The police have acted to enforce restrictive behaviours in the general public during the lockdown to maintain Government guidelines on preventing the spread of Covid-19. Some of the fines and directives from police appear to have no basis in law. Police powers in emergency situations, such as the lockdown need to be clarified, and it must be ensured that the police no longer behave this way once the lockdown is over to prevent a post-lockdown overreach of police powers.
