I presented to tje Justice Committee yesterday on the Police Bill that would give Police powers around gathering information and could potentially impact the right to protest.

My comments were focused around the impacts of over-surveillance and over-securitisation. And the importance of not curtailing the rights to political protest as is happening in other countries, including UK and Aus.

The UK government knows it’s on borrowed time – that’s why it’s tearing up our freedoms

In relationships, controlling and coercive behaviour is now a criminal offence. In British politics, it is glorified, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

The #PoliceBill decimates the fundamental right to freedom of expression by criminalising protest rights. Under this Bill, if you even risk causing annoyance, noise or ‘disease’ by demonstrating, your expression can be unlawful 🚩👎

I'm introducing an amendment to the Police & Crime Bill to help protect the fundamental right of freedom of expression. It will ensure police officers abide by a new strict Code of Practice, approved by Parliament, when recording allegations of hate crimes.

Yesterday, @BorisJohnson told MPs what we've been saying for years - digital strip searches of crime victims are excessive, intrusive and obstruct justice

We welcome reforms & his promise for police to return phones within 24h - so why is there no time limit in the #PoliceBill?

[Video embedded in original tweet]

The #PoliceBill powers do not yet prevent disproportionate downloads + lengthy phone seizures from victims.

A small number of important changes could create a better, more just system that helps bring perpetrators to justice.

We've been campaigning against digital strip searches alongside a powerful coalition of groups inc. @centreWJ @RapeCrisisEandW @EVAWuk & many more, for years.

We asked @SusanBaroness to meet our groups about the new phone searching powers in the #PoliceBill. She refused.

Why?🤔
