Reform Home Office enforcement powers to prevent abuse.

Reform Home Office enforcement powers to prevent abuse. — 14 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

We call Parliament to reform Home Office immigration enforcement powers by requiring body-worn cameras, strict procedural safeguards, access to legal advice, interpreter support, and clear legal limits on powers of entry, detention and questioning, to prevent abuse, coercion and unfair enforcement.

Additional details

Home Office enforcement officers exercise serious powers of entry,detention and questioning, yet unlike police officers they are not required to wear body cameras or follow legal safeguards. This lack of transparency allows abuse, coercion and unfair practices to go unchecked. Individuals and businesses face penalties on flawed investigations. Parliament must act to introduce body cameras to all officers, legal warnings, access to legal advice, interpreter,and clear limits on enforcement powers.
