澳大利亚新南威尔士州已出台新的"流浪"法律, 打击刀具犯罪, 允许警察在没有逮捕令的情况下在购物区,体育场所和交通站等公共场所随机搜查个人. NSW, Australia, has introduced new "wanding" laws to combat knife crime, allowing police to randomly search individuals in public spaces like shopping areas, sports venues, and transport stations without a warrant. 批评者认为,这些措施可能不成比例地影响弱势社区,但总理Chris Minns和警察部长Yasmin Catley捍卫法律,认为法律是公共安全所必需的。 Critics argue these measures could disproportionately affect vulnerable communities, but Premier Chris Minns and Police Minister Yasmin Catley defend the laws as necessary for public safety. 国家还把持有刀子的处罚加倍,最高可达四年。 The state has also doubled the penalties for knife possession to a maximum of four years.
