To address this, Amendment 381 makes two changes to the existing law governing such protests to be found in the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001. First, it amends Sections 42 and 42A of the 2001 Act, which confer powers to direct protests away from a person’s home, so as to remove the requirement that protest activity must be linked to a specific future action. This change will ensure that harassing or intimidatory protests outside individuals’ homes are captured, regardless of whether they relate to past or future conduct.
