A good and fairly accurate thread. Only slight challenge to it would be that you don't have to 'red dot' and issue a verbal warning' when using Taser. It's best practice but not at the expense of safety. You should always announce it's use though as you activate it for the safety/awareness of others. Not sure how relevant that will be to this situation as it seems fairly clear that no warning was given (and hopefully obvious why.)

The "fight" (the gang assault on male and female officers) started again when yer man reached for the restraining officers gun. Maybe more people knowing you'll get a swift boot to the dish if you assault British police officers might not be a bad thing?  |

You wouldn't see Riggs or Murtaugh doing such a thing.

Yeah that ends any discussion to be had if any. It's all very clear in that well written thread. The officer has clearly just got "red mist" and reacted to a horrible assault on him and colleagues. However he is not above the law and his actions cannot be justified.

It could also just be what we already know, that the sexting with 17 year olds also included dick pics. |

Not interested in excusing him, chuck whatever book needs throwing, etc.
But don’t you get charged with the “making” bit when you receive images because, technically, a new copy of any image then exists in the world when you receive one?
Of course he could well have solicited any/all of them.

I thought it was editing images for their own gratification, but according to the CPS:
"making indecent images can have a wide definition in the law and can include opening an email attachment containing such an image, downloading one from a website, or receiving one via social media, even if unsolicited and even if part of a group.”

Yeah it's bizarre that they went with the word "making" for that, I'm sure there was a guy who really wanted that wording to make the downloaders crimes sound even worse.

i guess the argument is that viewing this shit is creating the demand - ie it wouldn't be made if there wasn't a demand for it, ergo the people who view it are responsible for making it? ie you're not just being charged with offending moral sensiblity but for responsibliyty for harming a victim

While true in the usual case, if these are images that someone has whatsapped to you and they get saved to your phone (as happens on default whatsapp settings) that also gets counted as making. The law is creaking with how technology works nowadays.
If this has anything to do with the other story (the low number of images kind of suggests it might be similar, if not directly related) it could be an interesting test of how the law is currently defined.

Definitely a key factor and you’re part of the perpetuation of the thing in seeking that stuff out, but it’s such a wide net that, opening a WhatsApp from someone you’ve been flirting with is covered too… which is one reason why avoiding the skeezy age gap shit is, like, sensible.

Yeah that's my understanding of the law. Not excusing anything or saying it's necessarily true. But the new story could contain almost no new information except the CPS are pressing charges. It could basically just be the previous story again rather than some new thing.

Lobster dinner for King Charles cost France €450,000
Money well spent, I think we can all agree.
FFS, France - you used to know how to deal with royalty! What happened?

Targeting 19 shops over 4 months.
Was he exclusively stealing Creme Eggs?
If the total cost was £3,463.96 that did mean each egg cost £4.34. I know inflation is brutal but that seems eggsessive.
But assuming the eggs were all he stole, each egg earned him just over 7 hours of hard time.
