🚨UK Police Threaten Arrest for “Future Crime” – Minority Report Comes to Britain
UK police officer threatens to arrest a man for peacefully filming in public, because his presence “might” wind people up and cause someone else to lose their temper.
This is straight-up Minority Report policing.
They’re not arresting him for any actual crime. They’re not even claiming he’s breaking the law. They’re saying: “We can arrest you to prevent a breach of the peace” meaning, we’re going to punish you in case some random person gets angry at your legal activity.
Think about that. If someone gets so wound up by a camera that they want to attack the person holding it, the rational response is to arrest the aggressor, not the person exercising their right to film in a public space.
How on earth can you justify detaining someone for something that hasn’t happened and might never happen? It flips justice on its head: the person minding their own business (and their rights) becomes the problem, while potential troublemakers get their feelings protected by the state.
Officers should be de-escalating and protecting lawful behaviour, not threatening people with arrest for hypothetical future crimes by others.
Absolutely disgraceful.
Is this the footage of the victim of assault being arrested that you are asking not to be further shared? We need to know which video of two-tier justice not to share, so that we can make sure not to share it.
I've decided to leave this platform and my Department will too.
A platform originally designed for free speech and expression now favours abuse and misinformation over meaningful debate.
It isn't healthy for our democracy or our communities and I don’t want to support it.
@TheNathanNS@elizaclove Local retard who thinks he's a clever shit online is surprised to learn he's simply a bellend. Only 12% claimants work so the reality is that it is a often used as a top up to other benefits to supplement unemployed life

@GodCloseMyEyes She wants to pretend to be a dude. Part of being a dude is having the piss taken out of you for anything and everything. If anything, these "transphobes" are more accurately accepting of her than the alphabet peeps
@realSi_jeff It's instead of council tax, you sausage. And it generally seems fairer than current system. Why should someone who only affords a £50/75/100k house be charged the same as someone who owns a £750k house
