🧠 What This Episode Covers

The Public Order Act 2022 expanded police powers in response to high-profile disruptive protests across the UK. But protest law does not erase human rights.

We examine:

✔ Serious Disruption thresholds
✔ Locking-On & obstruction offences
✔ Conditions on assemblies
✔ Proportionality tests under Articles 10 & 11
✔ The balance between public order and protected expression

Because protest law lives in tension.
Too broad — and rights shrink.
Too narrow — and enforcement fails.
