Police make 30 arrests a day for offensive online messages

Civil liberties groups say that the authorities are over-policing the internet and threatening free speech using vague laws

Saw this posted by Joe Rogan and thought it was some US right wing crap.... But it's actually correct and JD Vance was right after all

Crazy shiz. When you know most of the drug dealers , phone snatchers , thieves aren't been touched anymore.

I can only imagine that the police do not come on NSC after a brighton defeat. They could make 30 arrests in one foul swoop for some of the crap posted on here.

On the one hand, the police are clearly going to far. On the other hand you have someone who thought it was fine to mock the deaths in Manchester crying that they are not allowed to be nasty and insensitive.

The truth always lays somewhere in between.

I don't really care what J.D Vance says. In this country we have values. Not always correctly applied, but we have them.

 

[keaton]

Yeah people are increasingly acting like bell ends online. That was your point wasn't it?

 

[Eeyore]

I'd say NSC is a good example. There are pretty strict rules. But how many people actually get banned ? Hardly any. That's because nearly all know how to conduct themselves.

There was a time when folk could bully and harass as much as they'd like online. And it seems to be those who are complaining that about things.

This is not to say that the new laws haven't brought about some absurdities. They have, and it needs to be addressed. But most of us can get by without using 'hurty words'

Why would the police not take advantage of arresting hate filled scumbag simpletons who make it very easy to be identified? Drug dealers, thieves and phone snatchers, no lesser scumbags, but I can assume are slightly more sophisticated and make it harder to be caught.

JD Vance is never right, and Joe Rogan is a wrongun.

I hope that helps.

Put them in pillories and chuck rotten fruit at them.

So all bell ends should get arrested then ?? Errr ok. The other point of this story is that most of these people arrested are not charged. Waste of time and tax payers money.

What happened to a good old warning or caution over the phone. Should be enough to deter most people.

Understandable why you disagree.

Happy to report our NSC Patronage's are recognised as the equivalent to diplomatic immunity

What happened to middle age @dwayne ? You seem to have gone from stupid naive wannabe to Gammony old git without a pause for breath

I’m pretty sure that you have to arrested before you get a caution. it’s not a waste of time if it stops these pricks being bellends and also encouraging others to commit similar actions of stupidity. The people dealing with this aren’t the ones dealing with drug dealers etc.

But that's 'on average'.

Remember what happened after the disorder last summer following the Southport stabbings?

I bet the vast majority of the arrests were in the weeks following that, and in reality outside of that period, it's probably just a handful per day.

You clearly have no idea on the subject you are peddling.

A Caution is a formal outcome, recorded one ones 'record', and can only be given AFTER arrest, and wouldn't be given over the phone .

So you can't say you think people should be Cautioned instead of arrested .

Wannabee what ?

And I had to look up gammony. But this certainly is not me either. And it appears gammon is akin to hate speech. I may have to report you for online abuse

Calling someone a 'gammon' is hate speech

Calling someone a gammon is discourse of the sewer.
