A new law can be proposed by Parliament or any MP or Lord. Before it is approved a proposal for a new law is called a bill, which has to be presented and explained before being passed on to the House of Commons and House of Lords. The two houses will discuss and usually agree with each other on whether they should approve it or not. If it is not approved, that is the end of the bill. If they approve it, it will be passed to the Monarchy where the queen will decide if she approves of it or not (which she usually does).
Civil liberties are the idea that you have freedom of speech, freedom of religion. This means you are allowed to have your own opinion and you don't have to be pressured by Parliament or pressure groups. (Human rights).
Does the law protect or restrict?
CCTV cameras - can protect us mainly as it can be used as evidence in court cases when you have been a victim to violence, which makes criminals think twice about committing crimes if they are aware there is a camera watching them.
ASBOs - restricts devious members of public from committing offences.
Mosquito Repellers - restricts young members of public from committing ASBO worthy offences.
