You'll all recall that a few weeks ago Caroline Farrow was arrested by police, having been accused by a person (can't remember if we're now allowed to say their name) of posting malicious content about them on Kiwi Farms. Caroline had the cast-iron alibi that she was playing the organ in church at the time the content was posted.

When she was arrested her laptop and phone were seized. She has now found out why her phone was seized:

Apparently someone had posted on Kiwi Farms a court order that showed that the complainant has an outstanding debt of £29k to Associated Newspapers and demanded that they attended court for questioning over their finances.

Associated Newspapers own the Mail, by the way - this person, who is notoriously litigious, had a legal action against them which they lost.

Of course, Caroline was able to prove that she was not the person who posted the court order.

She also wonders how it is that "the police can be used as private militia in this way."

That's something we'd all like to know the answer to.

Thanks for the update.

So they only had the word of one person, with zero evidence except them saying Caroline is mean to me. How the hell did it get past a judge for the court order to be signed for the arrest? What does the person have over a certain ranked officer who agreed to get an order in the first place and set this all in motion? Thats two shady officers of the law. Is it blackmail, funny handshakes or a belief that children aren't children, or am I missing something else here?

So many questions.

What gets me is that the police can be used as private militia in this way.

Me too. I would like our politicians to start noticing how often this has been done in the past few years. Why are they allowing our officially non-partisan police force to harass critics of one unrepresentative group, the gender identity movement? There would be outrage if the police were harassing people for expressing other mainstream political opinions.

Would this be a practical demonstration of the Streisand effect 🤔

What I find absolutely delicious is that had this particular individual not bought such action the fact that an outstanding debt of £29k to Associated Newspapers and demanded that they attended court for questioning over their finances. would have stayed on the Farms but now the info is gambolling all over the place hahahahaha brilliant!

Did I see something (maybe Louise or Caroline posted it?) saying pootle was 1 thrown out case away from automatically becoming a vexatious litigator?

TBF when it comes to murdering hymn tunes, guilty as charged mi’lud.

So I could say that I think my neighbour has posted something about me online and the police will take that seriously and go and arrest them and seize their devices?!

Sadly, yes.

As Surrey police said a communication was said to have been made which constituted something that was grossly offensive or indecent.

I was arrested so that my devices could be seized to prove or disprove this allegation.

The police told me that they HAD to arrest me because the alleged offences had occurred online so they to seize my devices.

On booking in, the arresting officers told the custody sargeant that the offences I was being booked in a cell for, constituted posting offensive messages online.

They said that it was alleged that I had done this anonymously which was why they needed my electronics.

The court order was part of a long laundry list of bizarre allegations to which they said “we haven’t been provided with the evidence of this yet”.

But essentially yes. I was arrested because of a feeling in the water of a person who clearly doesn’t like me very much.

Sadly, this police force will be pushing to prosecute Caroline given how mocked they've been over this sorry episode Sad

For what? Murdering some hymn tunes maybe?Confused

No, unfortunately you have to be a member of the sacred caste @LizzieSiddal which excludes females.

What the heck is going on here.

Clearly, a Costs Order is a public document which anyone is entitled to buy. It does not follow from:

(A) X bought a Costs Order.

That,

(B) X posted, or encouraged the posting of, that Order on Kiwi Farms.

Something recognised in the scathing judgement today in addition to the fact that much discussion on Kiwi Farms may not constitute harassment given the legitimate interest in someone's numerous unsuccessful legal claims. The judge was also perplexed at the claimant actively seeking out the "alleged harassment."

I hope X, whoever they are, is having a very jolly day, perhaps not so for the unsuccessful claimant.

This investigation is an absolute disgrace. The police need to devote their resources to solving crimes rather than harassing women whose views some people find objectionable.
