[News] Met Police “arrest night safety team for having rape alarms”

They’d probably need them more in the station than on the streets

Read the whole thread and watch the video. I have said it’s one sided in the OP though, hence the “ “ in thread title
Under the new protest laws rushed through parliament last week, the Met can determine at their own will what could be deemed to be a public nuisance and arrest accordingly

They were carrying rape alarms, which they hand out to vulnerable women, at night. The police were so twitchy they thought they were aiming to disrupt the procession.
Seeing as demonstrators were also arrested in Trafalgar Square for carrying placards with Not My King, it doesn’t surprise me. Trafalgar Square wasn’t on the processional route.

The first thing Starmer should do when he gets in is repeal those laws

Ah ok so that’s the angle. But the fact they’re wearing bibs to show they’re helping and work in conjunction with the met may have been the key bit here
Like quietly preparing to hold a placard, or walking in the road.

For reference, here’s the Met’s response
Sounds like bovine faeces to me, we know Prince Andrew was going to be in attendance so the more rape alarms the better.

Having lived under this shit show for years, one that is under special measures, don't take too long.
This isn't the Sussex Police.
You say this, but maybe they were black?

Intelligence and the Met are not often two words you see posted in the same sentence.
A complete waste of time trying to reform it, it's needs breaking up and re-established in a different form.
Having seen their policing first hand after the Sarah Everard rape and murder by one of their own they are evidently a national disgrace.
The goading started well before the demo, quite why you need to send out the police helicopter to hover over people leaving flowers on a band stand is anyone's guess.
I'm so angry they are my police force.
Laws have been brought in during and after Covid that mean we no longer live in a democracy and the Police have found themselves with disturbing levels of power. The public didn’t even bother to protest about it and here we are today with this sort of nonsense and people being arrested for carrying placards that King Charles might not like. If this was France the city would be burning but as usual British sheep just lap it all up.
Edited for you.
