Stop joint enterprise
Joint enterprise (or guilty by association) has been against human rights for decades. North Korea use it as a way to control it's population, Hitler used it to control Germans. This is an unjust law that is criminalizing many young adults and children. It is undemocratic and needs to be stopped. Any one that has been convicted under this law should have the right to an appeal and if there is not proof beyond unreasonable doubt that they were directly involved then they should be acquitted.
Why is this important?
By having laws such as this we are on a slippery slope towards a controlling state who is fearful of a particular group of people. If there are problems with gangs then we need to find out what those problems are and deal with them in a fair and humane way, not just lock them up and throw away the key!
