#Victoria #police expand #warrantless #search powers over large parts of #Melbourne with no reason given.

Victoria police has declared the entirety of #MelbourneCBD and large parts of East and South Melbourne as a “designated area” for six months, which provides officers with greater search powers without a warrant.

The declaration makes it an offence for anyone to stop or resist police from conducting “pat down” searches, or removing “items of of outer clothing such as headwear, scarves, jackets, etc”:

It is an offence under the Act to obstruct or hinder a police officer or protective service officer in the exercise of a power to stop and search a person or vehicle or to fail to comply with a direction to leave the designated area.

The announcement also gives police the power to demand people remove face masks that may allow them to conceal their identity or protect themselves “from the effects of crowd-controlling substances”, such as pepper spray:

A police officer may also exercise their power under the Act to direct you to leave the designated area if you refuse to remove a face covering.

Designated areas are often declared to allow police to deal with major planned protests or demonstrations. In this case, the declaration has been made from 30 November to 29 May, 2026.

A reason for the six-month period has so far not been provided by Victoria Police.

The force has the power to make designated area declarations under section 10D (1) of the Control of Weapons Act 1990.

Police are conducting #warrantless dragnets at #Memphis #hotels to help ICE and other of #Trump’s federal occupiers.

“[The] MPD officer went through the details of each guest and the accompanying identification documents they had provided — passports, driver’s licenses, and more. The officer then entered the details of each guest into a database on his mobile device.”

#ICE agents get green light to make unjustified #warrantless #arrests #LA Warrantless arrests are not inherently illegal; however, under the first Trump administration, ICE ramped up their use with. The Castañon-Nava, et al. suit was brought because warrantless arrests were performed on people who in retrospect did not meet ICE’s recommended criteria for one: but at the time, there was no mechanism for accountability. That changed when the NJIC negotiated the terms. thehandbasket.co/subscribe/bfe

Well, this is a scary thing I think more people need to know.

#USPol #USCBP #Warrantless

U.S. Customs and Border Protection has the authority to search vehicles and vessels without a warrant “within a reasonable distance from any external boundary” of the U.S., including the entire coastline. The federal government defines this distance as 100 miles.

Roughly two-thirds of the U.S. population, about 200 million people, live within this zone.
