[[link removed]]Dear John,

We’re more than a month into the coronavirus lockdown, and there’s still a lot
of confusion around what the law is, when we can lawfully go outside and what
the police can do.

Last month we launched Liberty’s coronavirus advice and information hub
[[link removed]] to help you navigate this crisis.

At what’s already a worrying time, it’s vital you have clear information on your
rights.
Recent stories of police patrolling ‘non-essential’ supermarket aisles,
preventing people from driving to somewhere less busy to exercise, and flying
drones to monitor our outdoor activities have caused confusion and anxiety.

Some of this has happened because of a lack of clear guidance. And this
situation has caused understandable concern for those of us who live in
communities or neighbourhoods that are already overpoliced.

It’s vital we all know what our rights are and can defend these rights, for
ourselves and for our communities. So Liberty’s advice and information hub
provides simple, accurate explainers covering:

* the new rules
* when we can leave home
* what the police can do
* what you can do if you’re stopped by the police
* what you can do if you’re unhappy with the way the police have treated you.

It also provides guidance on how to make a complaint and find a lawyer if you
need one.

It’s crucial our explainers and advice reach as many people as possible.
