A event on Thursday 24th October. The event starts at 19:30.


Section 60 gives police the power to stop and search people without any suspicion that they have committed a crime. Time and time again, the police force's use of it has proved it's a racist and ineffective tool that does not make streets safer.

This timely discussion, organised by the Bristol Cable as part of its ongoing campaign to end the use of No To Section 60, will be a conversation and Q&A with:

Jodie Bradshaw, Stopwatch
John Pegram, Bristol Copwatch
Leigh McKenna, Youth Worker
Sean Morrison, the Bristol Cable
