Yeah no shit, no laws were broken.
The law was sure used to suppress some protests though.
Using the arrest as a keep them off the streets for 48 hours.
Well, there’s a surprise.
It’s almost as if they arrested them for something which isn’t a criminal offence just to hold them for a few hours because they were embarrassing the establishment.
I reckon Trump has had this thrown out due to being a prime example of freedom of speech.
Edit for spelling.
> They were arrested on suspicion of offences including malicious communications and public nuisance.
How DARE they remind people that the twice elected US president is a friend with one of the most notorious child sex traffickers! The only public nuisance is Trump.
just another example of the police knowingly misusing their powers to suppress British citizens rights to protest, every police officer involved in this should be fired for misuse of policing powers, but of course there will be no consequences.
this was no different then when protesters were arrested and locked in a cell for holding “not my king” signs during the kings coronation. its absolutely disgusting that the police know they can get away with this every time there is a major event that a small amount of people want to peacefully protest.
Of course there aren’t, because there were no offences committed and the arrests made were entirely unlawful. Every officer involved, from the ACPO ranks who clearly demanded this, to the constables who made the arrest, to the custody Sgt who authorised their detention should be subjected to misconduct procedures, if not an outright criminal investigation, and at the very least lose their jobs over this.
It was a disgusting overreach and an abuse of their powers and position for a political purpose. There were absolutely no reasonable grounds to suspect the offence had been committed at all whatsoever.
As everybody expected when it first happened. Pathetic.
Everyone should be writing to their MP over this. This was stifling legitimate protest on behalf of another state. This is a very bad thing
Would these people have any recourse to sue for (as an example) wrongful arrest or similar?
Charges? I can’t imagine they’ll pay for a beer again.
Well done the police who gave the orders to do stop a picture being projected so as not to offend a foreign sex offender about his friendship with a prolific paedophile.
Far better use of police resources than pursuing rapists or violent criminals or the anti-social behaviour that makes many people’s lives miserable. Well done to all concerned.
