维多利亚劳工承诺全国警察停车和搜索权力,如果重新选举

劳动制定全国搜索政策

Victoria’s Labor government has promised to let police officers and protective services officers use metal-detection wands to search any person in a public place if it wins re-election. Premier Ben Carroll also committed to purchasing 1,200 additional wands early next year. The announcement abandons the government’s earlier resistance and brings Labor close to the policy already advocated by the opposition Coalition.

显著的歧视扩展

目前的维多利亚权力更紧密地与指定区域和具体行动有关。 该模型将消除这一地理限制,并允许在公共空间中无疑扫描。 支持者将改变作为对刀具和其他武器的预防反应。 民间自由组织和法律倡导者认为,更广泛的判断会产生自愿或歧视性会面的风险,特别是当官员不需要详细记录原因和结果时。

现有制度的证据受到争议。

The Guardian cited a study of a 12-month police-wand trial on Queensland’s Gold Coast in 2021-22 that found no reduction in violent crime. Queensland police conducted 160,997 scans between July 18, 2025 and June 30, 2026. Among people whose ethnicity was known, 22.6% were Indigenous, compared with an Indigenous share of about 4.6% of Queensland’s population. Those figures do not alone establish unlawful discrimination, but they make monitoring essential.

维多利亚的成果有限

根据《卫报》报道的数据,仅超过1%的维多利亚现有指定区系统进行的搜索发现了一件非法的项目。 低发现率引起了关于比例性的疑问,尽管政府可能认为可见扫描也会阻止人们携带武器。 国际实践没有简单的答案:英国2026年刀犯罪法案也扩大了预防权力,但将其置于可以审查和挑战的法律框架内。

安全措施将确定影响

关键细节现在是记录保持、监督、投诉机制和公开报告,分为位置、结果和人口群体。 议会还需要确定从滑板扫描到物理搜索的扩张限制。 选举承诺是后果性的,因为它改变了预防和个人自由之间的平衡,在整个国家。 这是一个国内警察政策,不是军事攻击或停火,因此不是警告可用的。
