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
54B Searches of persons answering to live link bail
(1) A constable may search at any time— (a) any person who is at a police station to answer to live link bail; and (b) any article in the possession of such a person. (2) If the constable reasonably believes a thing in the possession of the person ought to be seized on any of the grounds mentioned in subsection (3), the constable may seize and retain it or cause it to be seized and retained. (3) The grounds are that the thing— (a) may jeopardise the maintenance of order in the police station; (b) may put the safety of any person in the police station at risk; or (c) may be evidence of, or in relation to, an offence. (4) The constable may record or cause to be recorded all or any of the things seized and retained pursuant to subsection (2). (5) An intimate search may not be carried out under this section. (6) The constable carrying out a search under subsection (1) must be of the same sex as the person being searched. (7) In this section “live link bail” means bail granted under Part 4 of this Act subject to the duty mentioned in section 47(3)(b).

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.
