Well, @WestYorksPolice have decided that the arrests and fixed penalty notices were issued in error. It was just a ruse to shut down the Speakers Corner event in Leeds.

Letters sent to one of the women given a FPN!! t.co/nHe2BDlh3R

What a complete disgrace West York's police are. They've gone rogue and are pursuing a personal vendetta in my view.

@JacobReesMogadishu

So one person has had it dropped and one they’re considering whether to go to court? There’s two different letters?
From the twitter thread I get the impression both letters were sent to the same person.

The second one sent first letting the woman know her letter saying she refused the FPN and wanted the matter to go to court had been received and it was now up to WYP to prosecute. Then the follow up letter (appearing first in the image) telling her that, having looked at the matter, WYP had decided the FPN was issued in error and they would not be prosecuting.

SoQuaagars why do you think this was done? And what about the “organisers” “offense” ?

Where does it say it was issued in error?
Just a ruse to shut down Speakers Corner event isn't what they said either, that's just your opinion stated as fact?

Possibly not, Butterer. I realised that after I’d posted. Sorry.

Some information here:

www.donoghue-solicitors.co.uk/actions-against-the-police/police-warrant-claims/police-warrants-compensation/arrest-warrant-claims/

”Compensation claims may be made where the police:

provide incorrect information to obtain the arrest warrant,”

Interesting to see what information was on their warrant. There was a lot of discussion occurring among the officers arresting Posie about what charge they were holding her on.

The good thing is that Posie will follow this up. It’s a certainty.
