peterms Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 All in it together, chapter 45. Rich kids get off. Quote A millionaire's son who threatened a barman with fake gun after being refused prosecco won't face justice for two months - because he is jetting off to Barbados. Oliver George appeared in court over the drunken yacht club fracas two days before he and his family are due to fly to the Caribbean where they have a home. The 26-year-old, who lives in exclusive Sandbanks, faces a maximum sentence of six months in jail for the offence of possessing an imitation firearm in a public place. Despite pleading guilty, magistrates agreed to delay his sentence until December so he can go on the month-long holiday. It's stuff like this that brings the law into disrepute. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Police Force's uniforms just say Police.BTP are just a Special Police Force, they have exactly the same powers as the other regular forces. Same category of Police as the Civil Nuclear Constabulary and you wouldn't want to argue with them. They get loaned out to to other forces when they are short of gunmen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Met police to begin using live facial recognition cameras Quote The Metropolitan police will start using live facial recognition, Britain’s biggest force has announced. The decision to deploy the controversial technology, which has been dogged by privacy concerns and questions over its lawfulness, was immediately condemned by civil liberties groups, who described the move as “a breathtaking assault on our rights”. But the Met said that after two years of trials, it was ready to use the cameras within a month. The force said it would deploy the technology overtly and only after consulting communities in which it is to be used. ... Ephgrave said the technology would not be used indiscriminately and that its initial use would be limited. ... rest of article on link 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 It’s in Cardiff all the time, parked on busy pedestrianised shopping streets. I suspect we were the test dummies. They were boasting they used it outside a gig a couple of nights ago and arrested someone. It’s difficult to argue against, in that they took someone with a knife out of a large crowd. But it’s one more slip down the slippery slope to Chinese style control and compliance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
