star this property answer text <p>The Government takes the supply of substances for their psychoactive effect seriously. There are legitimate uses for nitrous oxide, such as in medicine, dentistry and as a propellant for whipped cream canisters, but those who supply nitrous oxide who know, or who are reckless as to whether, it will be used for its psychoactive effect may be subject to a maximum sentence of seven years’ imprisonment, an unlimited fine, or both under the Psychoactive Substances Act 2016.</p><p>The Anti-social Behaviour Crime and Policing Act 2014 introduced powers, such as Public Space Protection Orders, which the police and local councils can use to prevent people from taking intoxicating substances, including psychoactive substances such as nitrous oxide, in specified areas.</p><p>On 3 September, the Government asked the independent statutory advisory body, the Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs, to provide an updated assessment of the harms of nitrous oxide, including whether it should be controlled under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971. The ACMD is independent of Government and provides a broad range of recommendations, including advice on legislative changes. The Government will consider the ACMD’s advice carefully before deciding how to proceed.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The Home Secretary has announced a two part inquiry to investigate the issues raised by the conviction of Wayne Couzens for the death of Sarah Everard. Part one will examine Couzens’ previous behaviour and establish a comprehensive account of his conduct leading up to his conviction, as well as any opportunities missed, drawing on the Independent Office for Police Conduct’s (IOPC) investigations, once concluded. The full terms of reference for Part 1 of the Inquiry will be published as soon as possible.</p><p>The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) is also investigating various matters in connection with Couzens – including possible failings in relation to previous investigations. They are looking at separate cases which include investigations into Kent’s Police handling of an incident involving him in 2015, and the Met Police’s response to reports of a criminal offence involving Couzens on 28 February 2021. The IOPC provides public updates on its investigations via its website.</p>

star this property answer text <p>When using technologies like live facial recognition (LFR) it is important that the police maintain public trust in line with the principle of policing by consent. Opinion polling shows strong public support for its use, particularly for serious and violent crimes.</p><p>The College of Policing has consulted on guidance, which covers the importance of providing the public with information about when LFR is used. This guidance, and local force policies, will also explain the basis on which police forces process personal data – typically in line with Section 35(5) of the Data Protection Act 2018.</p><p>In normal circumstances (other than when a section 60AA Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994 order is in place) the police do not have a legal power to issue fines simply where a person chooses not to walk past a LFR system.</p> more like this

star this property answer text <p>Crossbows are subject to statutory controls in the Crossbows Act 1987. This Act makes it an offence to sell or hire a crossbow, with a draw weight of 1.4 kilograms or greater to anyone under the age of 18 and prohibits anyone aged under 18 from buying or hiring a crossbow. It is also an offence for anyone under the age of 18 to possess a crossbow which can discharge a missile or parts of a crossbow which together (and without any other parts) can be assembled to form a crossbow capable of discharging a missile, unless they are under the supervision of a person who is aged 21 or older.</p><p>Crossbows may also be considered as offensive weapons. The Prevention of Crime Act 1953 prohibits the possession, in a public place, of any offensive weapon without lawful authority or reasonable excuse. Additionally, under the Criminal Justice Act 1988 it is also an offence to be in possession of crossbow bolts in a public place without good reason or lawful authority.</p><p>If a crossbow is misused to harm a person this is a very serious offence that could amount to actual bodily harm, grievous bodily harm or murder under existing criminal legislation. These offences attract severe penalties including life imprisonment in the case of murder.</p><p>Whilst it is shocking and tragic when incidents occur where crossbows have been misused, these incidents are fortunately very rare. The vast majority of those using crossbows do so safely and responsibly. At the present time, we believe the laws around crossbows strike the correct balance between protecting the public and also allowing people to own and use crossbows for legitimate activities. In light of this, we have no current plans to review the statutory framework or introduce further legislation relating to crossbows.</p>

star this property answer text <p>There is a comprehensive legal framework for the management of biometrics, including facial recognition. This includes the Data Protection Act 2018, regulated by the Information Commissioner’s Office, Human Rights Act 1998, Equality Act 2010, the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 (PACE), the Protection of Freedoms Act 2012 (POFA), and police forces’ own published policies. The College of Policing is carrying out a public consultation on national police guidance for the use of live facial recognition. The guidance covers the oversight arrangements and the importance of public notification and engagement. When there is no alert for a possible match, the biometrics of those captured by the system are deleted immediately.</p> more like this
