This briefing critiques the Crime and Policing Bill, highlighting how Clauses 86, 101, and 123 risk disproportionately harming marginalised communities, including Muslims and political activists. It raises concerns about the criminalisation of face coverings at protests, deportation risks linked to cautions, and the vague targeting of political or religious expression in detention settings. The document argues these measures lack safeguards and could undermine fundamental rights and freedoms. MLegal calls for key amendments to protect civil liberties and prevent discriminatory enforcement.
