💨 Abstract

A proposed change will allow police to crush vehicles used for anti-social behavior within 48 hours, reducing the current two-week window. This aims to prevent repeat offenses and reduce the nuisance of off-road bikes, e-scooters, and cars in communities. The Home Office is consulting on this new power, with Labour also considering higher fines for seizures. Police forces, including one in Oldham, have launched operations to tackle this issue, highlighting its impact on neighborhoods.
