This chapter examines the law and human rights relating to public protests based on international instruments and discussion around coverage of the law in different countries, especially Australia, and permission to hold public protests on specific routes. It then explores police training in the policing of public protests; ‘public order’ training and human rights awareness training. From training, the police approach towards public protests is analysed, looking at policy, practices, and procedures and police officers’ cultural beliefs along with corporate, team, and personal issues. Generalised information on police strategy, tactics, and operations in managing public protest incidents is discussed and then recent case study events that have changed the historical perspective and have amended the activities of protestors and police. The chapter studies human rights infringements, cause celebres, and technological impacts of police tactics along with generic information on evidence gathering and Intelligence gathering on public protests and what happens to data gathered by police.
