Propose a change

Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

Change 1

What to do with it
As published

30C ... section 30A: supplemental

(1) A person who has been required to attend a police station is not required to do so if he is given notice in writing that his attendance is no longer required. (2) If a person is required to attend a police station which is not a designated police station he must be— (a) released, or (b) taken to a designated police station, not more than six hours after his arrival. (3) Nothing in the Bail Act 1976 applies in relation to bail under section 30A. (4) Nothing in section 30A or 30B or in this section prevents the re-arrest without a warrant of a person released ... under section 30A if, since the person’s release, new evidence has come to light or an examination or analysis of existing evidence has been made which could not reasonably have been made before the person’s release.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
