Big Brother Watch And Liberty Warn Covid Fines Must Be Urgently Reviewed
Big Brother Watch and Liberty have written to police forces urging them to undertake a review of all fines issued under the lockdown laws, amid serious concerns of wrongfully issued fines and racial discrimination.
Across England and Wales, people of colour have received fines at a rate 1.6 times higher than white people. This is unacceptable. In certain areas, however, this disparity is far higher. We have sent letters to the chief constables of Cumbria, Derbyshire, Dyfed-Powys, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, North Wales, North Yorkshire, Suffolk, Sussex and West Mercia police forces, the ten worst for discrimination, warning them that they may risk breaching equality law if they do not instigate an urgent review of fines.
The Government’s response to this pandemic has been to penalise the public with vast fines and ever-increasing enforcement powers, despite widespread compliance and great hardship for many. It is a gross injustice that this authoritarian approach has been inflicted most harshly on people of colour.
As the country faces another potential stretch of lockdowns over winter, its more vital then ever that police forces take this step to remedy injustice and arbitrary policing.
You can read the letters below:
- Cumbria
- Derbyshire
- Dyfed-Powys
- Lancashire
- Lincolnshire
- North Wales
- North Yorkshire
- Suffolk
- Sussex
- West Mercia
