One thought on “New laws give police “almost unlimited power” to over-police marginalised groups, experts warn”

  1. It’s essential to critically examine the implications of new laws that expand police powers, especially concerning marginalized communities. While the intention may be to enhance public safety, these measures can lead to over-policing and further systemic inequality. Experts highlight the risk of profiling, increased surveillance, and the potential for abuse of power. It’s crucial for lawmakers to consider the voices of those affected and ensure that any new legislation includes strong accountability measures and safeguards to protect civil rights. Community engagement and oversight can help balance public safety with the rights and dignity of all individuals.
