What are Mosquito Devices?
These are sometimes found in places where young people are likely to meet up. They make a very high pitched noise that can only be heard by young people.
Right to Privacy
The government should:
- Make sure you aren’t stopped and searched unless there is a proper reason, and if allowed to by law.
- Collect stop and search information and facts, and break it down by different groups, to make sure you are not being discriminated against.
