Mobile phone thieves targeted in flagship crime bill
Briefly

The Crime and Policing Bill introduces significant changes to police powers in the UK, enabling searches of homes without a warrant for stolen mobile items like phones and laptops. This bill, which aims to enhance community safety as part of the government's 'Safer Streets mission', plans to be enacted by year-end, despite financial concerns regarding its implementation. Additionally, it proposes 'Respect Orders', akin to previous Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (Asbos), to enforce behavior restrictions on offenders, mirroring strategies from Labour's past election promises.
