Review powers to impose community protection warnings and notices

We believe that the current CPW/CPN processes lack transparency and judicial scrutiny. We think such notices are often issued based on hearsay without allowing the accused to provide a defence. This can lead to the "weaponisation" of police powers in neighbour disputes and the automatic withdrawal of safeguarding for victims before any wrongdoing is proven. We need a review of this Act to consider whether to introduce stronger evidence tests to protect civil liberties and prevent administrative overreach by police and local councils.
