SECTION 2 QUESTION: 

Daniel and Sally are a couple with a 2-year-old son. They have been together for about 5  years. They both work in the hospitality sector in Cornwall. Due to the current cost of living  crisis, they struggle to make the ends meet. Daniel and his colleague Charli, who is also in a  difficult financial situation, make a plan to steal money from the hotel they work for. The  plan was to take money from their boss’s safe and then shout out as if they have seen  someone jumping out of the window of their boss’s office and running into the street. They  also planned to call the police. The plan went well, they took the money shouted ‘thief, thief  is running help’ then called the police. By coincidence there were two young police officers  patrolling right in front of the hotel at the time they shouted. They immediately attended to  the scene and noticed someone who was actually running around the hotel. They shouted to  make him stop, however it was Simon who was jogging with his airpods in his ears listening  to Iron Maiden. Simon did not hear the police. The police officers were not properly trained, and they shot Simon dead, mistaken that he was running away from the police.  

During the investigation Daniel and Charli’s plan was revealed, they were tried for burglary.  It turned around that Daniel was an immigrant on a visa in the UK. Daniel received a letter of  deportation from home office due to his participation in criminal activities. Sally and Daniel  are upset because if this deportation goes ahead their family unit might break down and they  might not raise their child together. Daniel was imprisoned in a deportation centre called  Wallthick. On the day of deportation, a protest was arranged in front of the Wallthick. Sally  also participated. It was a peaceful protest. Protesters were sitting in silence holding banners. The Wallthick detention centre was run by the home office up until 2017 when it was  outsourced to a private company called Yaresh. Yaresh was not happy with the protest and  decided to disperse the protesters with water cannons. The protesters told Yaresh that this is  abuse of their rights however Yaresh responded that they are a private company, and they can do what they want because they are not bound by the Human Rights Act.
