Clause 16 - Places which are not designated public places
Criminal Justice and Police Bill
11:00 am
Mr Nick Hawkins (Surrey Heath, Conservative)
In response to my hon. Friend's first point, let me say that those of us who have been involved in legal arguments can see their dangers. He might also understand what we are trying to do with the amendments if I tell him about the concerns of the Police Federation. It says:
``Such zones would be brought quickly into disrepute by drinkers moving just out of reach and taunting officers accordingly, bringing the enforcement of such zones quickly into disrepute''.
Does he not see that danger?
