(Music plays)
Main anchors: Youve just tuned into flash news. Giving you your news in a
flash! (Music plays, gets quieter) This is Faizah and Nazrin. Good evening.
Anchor 1: Theres been a big controversy on the use of spit hoods. Were going
to pass it on to Tasnim that will explain what spit hoods are.
Me: Thanks guys. Spit hoods are hoods made out of mesh fabric which police put
over offenders head to prevent them from spitting or biting. Since 2011 they
have been used at least 2,486 times in 635 cases on people with suspected
mental health issues. There used by a third of UK police forces today. I spoke to
police officer, (name) to gain a better idea about why theyre used. This is what
he had to say.
(Interview with police officer)
Me: I also went out and about and asked young people and a past offender how
they would feel if one was used on them. Some said it would feel degrading,
some said it would be embarrassing.
(Sound bite from interviews)
Me: Lots of questions have been raised about the use of these spit hoods.
Expert and lawyer (name) had this to say.
(Interview with lawyer)
Anchor2: Thank you Tasnim, Send in your tweets to @FlashFm and tell us your
personal opinion on them, or leave a comment under our instagram page,
@FlashfmNews. We look forward to reading them.
