Section 60 - Stop and search any persons or vehicle without a given reason.
Section 60 of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994: to stop and search any pedestrian, or anything carried by them for offensive weapons or dangerous instruments without good reason, or to stop and search any vehicle, its driver and any passenger, for offensive weapons or illegal items.
Section 60 is aimed at preventing serious violence, to find dangerous instruments or to apprehend persons carrying weapons.
With increased violence and disorder on our UK street we need to give the powers back to the police.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
As the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 is still in effect, police continue to hold the powers to which you refer. It is therefore not clear what you want the Government to do.
You could start a petition calling for a specific change to be made to the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act, if that is something you'd like to happen.
