      It's about who is spitting at you not their gender or ethnicity. Do these people think cops detain a black person & decide to use it? 😠😠

      Unlike stop/search, compliance is a complicating factor. Don't spit, don't get spit hooded. Don't fight, don't get tasered, if properly used

      Exactly, which is why further research is needed. Spit hoods should not be used preemptively & taser only as last resort. Should focus there

      From what I've been told previously it is sometimes used pre-emptively, eg based on DP's behaviour &/or threats

      No knowledge but I do not support preemptive use of spit hoods. Disproportionate in my view to hood someone who has not already spat.

          HIV Hep B have been found in saliva. HIV risk if bleeding in mouth or open sores. Also Hep C CAN be transmitted this way. Get ALL facts.

          Why Not? If someone has spat at officer previously or says they'll spit, Why not use it as a pre-emptive tactic for safety of all?!!!?!?!

          The question is, is it justifiable & proportionate in all the circumstances? If they've got previous & threatening again, maybe. Difficult.

          Those two words justifiable & proportionate - down to officer using it & maybe before waiting to be spat at.

          Pre-emptive strike under common law... would include spit hood use? You do not have to wait for the offender to throw the first punch.

          What we must avoid is routine use of spit hoods "just in case". Pretty frightening to be hooded when already restrained. Can see both sides
