Its an offense under the Mal Comms laws (which are daft).
If there's a report, they have a duty to go interview the person, and usually its closed as NFA.
In this case, he arranged for a voluntary interview (which would have leas to NFA), then reneged, which creates the conditions under PACE that necessitate an arrest so interview can be done quickly.
All of which would have been explained to him.
He wanted to get arrested, or had a room temperature IQ. Or both.
- _-david-_ 4y agoAre you suggesting that the police have an obligation to interview every person accused of hate speech? If that is the case can I report a person of hate speech every day they speak or make a post and the police would be required to interview them every time? As for him wanting to be arrested. So what? He was trying to prove a point that the trans ideology is authoritarian and the police obliged.
- dmix 4y agoSounds like a great way to harass someone legally.
- stjohnswarts 4y agoclearly it wasn't an offense as they aren't charging him with anything.
- nathanaldensr 4y agoIn this thread, we engineer from first principles why "innocent until proven guilty" is a thing--at least in the United States.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoThere's a lot of people applying US legal principles to a country that is not the US in this thread. The way UK law works can be a bit funny. Not in a good way.
