Eviction from public space for up to 24 hours, the Senate supported the amendment

The Czech Senate is considering a law allowing police to expel individuals causing serious public disturbances for up to 24 hours. This proposal, supported by a group of senators led by Zdeněk Hrabá, aims to address issues related to public order, particularly concerning homeless individuals under the influence of substances. The measure is intended as a preventive action rather than a punitive one, with expulsion seen as a last resort after other interventions fail. Violating the expulsion order could result in fines or imprisonment. The proposal reflects concerns about public safety amid rising unrest in Western European cities.
