Clause 9 - Power of arrest for possession of Class C drugs
Criminal Justice Bill
6:15 pm
Mr Dominic Grieve (Beaconsfield, Conservative)
I hope that the Minister will accept that I am a firm supporter of the police. I believe that they do a splendid job and they are an absolute necessity and the principal barrier between our society and serious crime. I also have to say that I take the view that there are instances when the police can misuse their power. If ever there was the potential for misuse, it is this.
