Thieves have stolen a priest's camera which was being used to record masses for parishioners as lockdown rules make church services impossible.

Father Andrew Pastore has been using a camera to record and broadcast his services from St Vincent de Paul RC Church in Newbrook Road, Over Hulton.

The online masses have been a relief to parishioners who are missing the sense of community since coronavirus lockdown measures brought most church services to an end.

Fr Pastore had a schedule plan to livestream Holy Week masses in the run up to Easter. But the camera was stolen over the weekend just after Fr Pastore had finished recording his Palm Sunday vigil.

Driving Equality Law: Philadelphia ban on traffic stops for minor infractions goes into effect
PHILADELPHIA - A new law banning traffic stops for minor infractions went into effect in Philadelphia Thursday, despite recent legal challenges from the police union. Thursday’s implementation of their Driving Equality Law made Philadelphia the first city in the country to implement a law designed to reduce cases of what’s often called ‘driving while Black’ – or getting pulled over for superficial and racially motivated reasons. City Council passed the first-of-its kind bill in October, and Mayor Jim Kenney signed it into law in November, before it went into effect March 3. The law bans officers from pulling over vehicles based on traffic violations that are considered "secondary violations" in an effort to prevent racial disparities in traffic incidents handled by police. The following issues are considered secondary violations in the new law:Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #5 filed a lawsuit against the city and city officials over the law late last month, claiming that the law was dangerous. "This terrible law puts reckless drivers behind the wheel of unsafe vehicles that ultimately puts the general public in danger," said FOP Lodge # President John McNesby. McNesby had expressed concerns about the law before it was passed. In October, he told FOX 29 about the importance of traffic stops. "These stops, they lead to bigger things, they find guns, they find drugs, it leads to bigger things," he said.
