| STRICTER rules should regulate police use of pepper spray, and a body such as the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission must monitor its widespread application when dealing with public order or street offences, a leading advocacy group says. The Human Rights Law Centre says police shootings are far less common than the use of non-lethal force, citing figures showing there is an incident involving Victoria Police deploying force, on average, every 2½ hours.
Almost three-quarters of these incidents involved pepper spray or foam, and there was ''overwhelming feedback'' from vulnerable groups that police were overusing it.
In a report on police use of force, the rights group also says the Victorian Crimes Act or other laws should rein in the ''very broad test'' that now exists for how, and to what extent, officers can use any force.
