As a former senior police officer & a politician, if, as the PolFed Chairman says "no member of the public will ever see a spit guard until they have spat at one of my colleagues", then I support their use in such circumstances (even though you can’t get HIV from spit).

Yeah. Exactly. And if the assessment of quick intell aka NDM says they are spitting / gearing up to spit then same applies.

Preemptive use of spit hoods is a different issue and fraught with problems. Warning a spit hood (that is available) will be used if suspect spits should help prevent but there needs to be a balance between risk & action.

Thanks. Not pre-emtive. Info intell that subject is in process of spitting would see the introduction of the hood. Agree its mere presence may diffuse.. hopefully.
