Plain-English legal guidance for England & Wales.
Built for the street, the home, and the law student. From £29.99/year.
Know more than the Copper stopping you!
Instant legal street-cred for any aspiring Street-Lawyer!
The whole legal toolkit — in your pocket, online or off. Whether you are stopped, detained, or questioned by police on the street, or have a criminal, civil, or employment law question, Street-Lawyer UK has your back.
Dozens of in-depth legal scenarios — no internet required. Inspired by the 'Auditing the Police' movement, these scenarios encompass everyday common on-street encounters and legal rights issues, explained in plain English: what officers can and cannot do, your exact rights, what to say, what not to say, the legislation behind it, and direct links to the underlying statutes and case law. All preloaded — works on the street, on the train, with no signal, with a flat data plan.
Plus a 24/7 AI Legal Assistant for anything not covered by the preloaded scenarios — type or speak your question and get a calm, jargon-free answer with the underlying legislation. Audio & video recording of any encounter. Template letters for police complaints, body-cam footage requests, Subject Access Requests, FOI requests and HORT/1 follow-ups. Incident Log to keep a dated record.
Everything in Street-Lawyer, plus a dedicated Research & Study mode built for the way law students actually work — from late-night problem questions to full dissertation prep.
The AI auto-detects and answers 6 academic query types, adapting its structure to match each one — IRAC for problem questions, critical analysis frames for essays, doctrinal commentary for jurisprudence, procedural breakdowns for civil/criminal procedure, source-led briefings for legal research, and chapter-level scaffolding for dissertation work. Every answer cites leading case law and full statutory references with one-tap OSCOLA footnote copy.
Save any answer straight into your Research Folder for revision, and export the lot by email when an essay is due. Pro members can also bring their own OpenAI key for guaranteed availability and the option to push past the daily allowance during a deadline crunch — your key, your billing, your privacy.
POLICING BY CONSENT — NOT BY AUTHORITY
In the UK, police do not hold any natural or inherent authority over us. Their power is derived entirely from legislation and common law, and is exercised on the principle of POLICING BY CONSENT, NOT BY AUTHORITY — a foundation of British policing rooted in the 1829 Peel Principles. This means police maintain order through the approval, respect and cooperation of the public, not through coercion alone. Every power they use — from stopping us on the street to searching our property — must be grounded in specific legal provisions.
Yet every day, people comply with demands that have no legal basis — simply because we don't know our rights. Officers overreach, exaggerate powers, misuse legislation, and rely on public ignorance to go unchallenged. The imbalance of power on our streets is real: when the average citizen doesn't know their legal rights, and police on the street too often misunderstand or misapply the very legislation we rely on, rights that exist on paper disappear in practice. That is precisely why it is so important for ordinary people to know the law for themselves — because we cannot depend on the person using it against us to get it right. With public trust in policing at an all-time low, the need to understand the law as it is directly applied to us on the streets has never been greater. Know more than the Copper stopping you! If you don't know your rights on the street, you lose them. Street-Lawyer UK exists to make sure that doesn't happen.
The same imbalance exists in everyday life. Tenants don't know what landlords can and cannot do. Workers don't know their rights at work. Consumers sign contracts they don't understand. And the next generation of lawyers — students sitting at their desks tonight — pay thousands for textbooks while wading through dense case law without a tool that can break it down on demand. Street-Lawyer UK is built for all three: the person stopped on the street, the person reading a worrying letter at the kitchen table, and the law student preparing tomorrow's seminar. One app. Plain English when you need it. Full academic analysis when you don't.

From Stop and Account by police on the street, Stop and Search scenarios (Section 1 PACE, Section 23 Misuse of Drugs Act, Section 43 Terrorism Act), the legality of Name and Details demands, Police Arrest Powers, and Citizen's Arrest — right through to Filming the Police, Auditing, Drone Laws, Protest Rights, Handcuffing and Reasonable Force, Human Rights Act protections, phone confiscation and access rights, mobile phone driving laws, and how to make complaints against the police. Each scenario includes the exact legislation, common police misuses, how to handle it step-by-step, and your rights explained in plain English. Backed by legislation, case law, Home Office guidance and legal opinion.
Built-in video and audio recording lets you capture police interactions directly from within the app. Hit record with one tap — video for visible accountability, or audio for discreet background recording that keeps running while you browse your rights.
