00:00 So the thing that we're doing is we're updating the law.
00:02 This is a law that police officers understand,
00:05 they're familiar with, but it is very, very old.
00:08 So what we're doing is we're updating the law
00:10 to make it more relevant, to make it explicit to spiking,
00:13 so that police officers can understand it and deploy it,
00:16 so that people hear that it is completely unacceptable
00:20 and we are cracking down on it.
00:21 But as well as the legislation, of course,
00:23 we are doing a whole load of other things,
00:26 training, awareness, making sure that people can go out
00:30 and about, have fun, and know that they can be safe.
