Are you seriously saying the police cannot arrest someone they see committing a crime because they are demonstrators... Oh dear, time for this one again:  |

As the Mets new Commissioner explained to the London Assembly, they have to keep in mind that we all have the right to protest peacefully a right the Police have to uphold, even though these protests have not been approved and are at random they have to wait until there is sufficient evidence to warrant arresting the protesters, enough in order that the CPS can actually charge them. Those that glue themselves to the road, or chain themselves together inside a metal tube are arrested when they separate them or unglue them are fair game, but it takes to free them, so far about 600 have been arrested in London so far We do not have the right to commit a crime. Wow did you work that out all by yourself, |

Wow did you work that out all by yourself, Not at all and as you should know my point is that the police have enough powers to deal with anyone, they see committing a crime whether they be at a demonstration or not and that these 'new' powers the government are introducing are only designed to curb our civil liberties. |

Met police tell public not to intervene with protestors. "Do not intervene with Just Stop Oil protests, Met urges The Met has urged the public not to "directly intervene" with Just Stop Oil demonstrators. Assistant Commissioner Matt Twist said people should "call us, and we will deal" with the climate change group. He spoke after angry motorists removed demonstrators from blocked roads in central London on Saturday." Mr Twist said he "completely understood their frustration" but taking matters into their own hands could hamper prosecutions. This is because the police must "work within the clear legal framework and secure evidence for the offence of highway obstruction", he explained. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-63445355Bollocks to the Met. If they were doing their job instead of pussy footing around with these inconsiderate bastards there would be no need for the public to get involved. |

Where in that "clear legal framework" does it state that plod should serve up tea and biscuits? |

Sadly, a few of these arseholes will need to get a kicking before the powers-that-be do something about this.

I think that the Police are fully aware of the powers they have at their disposal that is why the Met they have arrested over 600 protesters so far however they can only arrest a person if the offence they witness has a power of arrest attached to it which authorises them do so. To deal with the unauthorised protests the Government have had no choice but put in place stronger measures to deal with these unlawful protesters who are not peaceful they are offending many people every day and stopping them going about their lawful business every day. The threat to our right to protest peacefully possibly being eroded does not come from the Government or the Police it is the protesters themselves their behaviour, have you forgotten what happened in Bristol not so long ago when a drunken and drugged up mainly left-wing rabble and other assorted morons tried to burn Police Officers alive in their vans. If the Met went in hard and manhandled these protesters dragged them off the roads and slung them into vans some of them elderly causing injuries, would you approve? I think not |

Many moons ago when common sense was rife throughout the country, a policeman's first duty was to prevent crime. Perhaps if we went back to that, we'd all benefit.
