28 Problem Police have very broad powers. Police want to help: Businesses Local traders. general public Not sympathetic to protesters. 28
29 Response Non legal Advance publicity get people on side. Plan the event carefully risk assessment. stewarding needs, briefing sheets to participants, route maps and timetables. Contact the police but weigh up pros and cons. (and may be legally required to notify). Use restrictions as campaign tool. Right to protest cards. 29
30 Response Legal Challenge conditions Really necessary to prevent serious disorder or serious disruption to the life of the community? Wouldn t a less restrictive condition be sufficient? Do they have power to impose such conditions? Do the conditions amount to a ban on the protest? 30
31 Response Legal No restrictions shall be placed on [the right to protest] other than such as are prescribed by law, and are necessary in a democratic society, in the interests of national security or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health and morals, or for the protection of the rights of others European Convention on Human Rights Article 11(2) 31
32 Response Legal It is unlawful for a public authority to act in a way which is incompatible with a Convention right Human Rights Act 1998 Section 6(1) 32
33 Response Legal So far as it is possible, primary legislation and subordinate legislation must be read and given effect in a way which is compatible with the Convention rights. Human Rights Act 1998 Section 3(1) 33
34 Response Challenging conditions in advance Negotiate with the police. Consider Judicial Review. Get legal advice - contact Liberty. 34
35 Response Challenging conditions during protest Try to negotiate with the police. Failure to comply or obstructing police can be offence.

37 Your campaign group want to organise an assembly near the gates of a cattle market, from where calves are going to be exported to France for the veal trade. 1. A week before the protest, you receive a letter from the police saying that they are aware of this protest, and you must give them the names of the organizers and an estimate of numbers present. 2. When you are gathering at the site, the police says that your presence is going to interfere with a visit from the French ambassador, and jeopardise international relations, so they want you to move to where you cannot see or be seen by people using the market. They also prohibit you from having placards depicting veal crates, as they upset people. 3. When you are demonstrating, shouting for the drivers not to carry the calves to France, the police give you directions to leave the vicinity of the market, and not to return for 3 months, as your shouts are causing distress to a man who lives next to the market. 4. Two employees from one of the freight companies applies to court for an injunction, requiring that you or any other protester be prohibited from going within 2 miles of the market when it is in operation, and restricting your protest to 2 hours per week when the market is closed. 37
