Alcohol seizure powers in focus
7:51am Friday 12th October 2012 in News
A CONSULTATION on plans to widen the area police are able to seize alcohol from in York has started.
City of York Council is running a consultation on a single Designated Public Place Order (DPPO) which will widen the area in which the police are able to seize alcohol.
There are currently 19 DPPOs in operation across the city at locations where antisocial behaviour is linked to alcohol and which have proved to be a successful means of tackling the problem, the council said.
But Safer York Partnership has suggested the DPPO’s displace the problem to neighbouring areas and it has been proposed that a single DPPO is made which allow police to confiscate alcohol when it is linked to antisocial behaviour.
For more information and a form to send feed back over the plans, visit saferyork.org.uk

Do you think George Orwell could see into the future when he wrote 1984?

The police are idiots, focus closed down ages ago and they didn't sell alcohol.

Put the emphasis on the alcohol, it's easier to remove that than someone who is misbahaving under its influence.

Alcohol exclusion zones.
Smoking bans.
CCTV watching our every move.
20mph speed limits.
What next?
I really don't like the look of the way this city/country is heading.’
You are not the only one!
The police are a reactive organization only now.
Not that I would trust them anyway – Hillsborough cover up, seen the police attitude during the miners’ strike at the battle of Orgreave as a member of the paras dressed as a copper.
Have a look through some of the articles on these websites and you will realize what a nasty country we live in, heading for a prison planet!

The streets arnt safe, its full of evil doers in dark clothing out at all hours....
we can be stopped and searched anytime and cant photograph public buildings without 'interrogation'' as 7 people in this country have died from 'terrorism' (thats got so many conspiracy theories around even a police chief believes them and lost his job for saying so...)
''possibly corrupt'' councillors sitting in jobs on more than one council at a time claiming same expenses from both and also ''working'' for the police! (check out 'real whitby' online magazine etc)
the worlds gone mad..
