Crime and Policing BillContribution
My Amendment 47B would simply increase the level of the fine. The clause as drafted says “not exceeding level 3”, meaning a maximum of £1,000. But by the time the—in my view, discredited—Sentencing Council pronounces on it, no one will get near that level; they will water it down as they usually do, so it will apply to very few trespassers.
