I really hope the outcome is fair to women and upholds free speech.

Someone is going to bust a gut before feb then wither sitting on their hands or tweeting awfully nice things about kittens.

What I dont understand about being held is the harm caused to bf babies? How do the police ensure that no harm is brought to innocent parties, like bf babies/just babies.

That’s just women though isn’t it? How bloody scary.

I doubt they even gave it a second thought, Truth

Yes I was arrested in my home at 11:30ish and didn't get home till 10:30pm. Apparently custody starts from the moment you're arrested, which I didn't know.

I was held in a cell for 7 hours, interviewed for an hour then in the cell for another hour and half to two hours before being released under investigation

Didn’t anyone there even seem to be puzzled or confused as to why this was ‘crime of the century’?

BustedWench · 28/09/2019 15:03

Only me I think!

I guess they’d just had ‘the training’ and got all excited. Jesus wept.

I'm sure they were excited. A nice easy day at the office, no heading out into the big bad world in search of actual criminals.

And any detective work amounting to scrolling through Twitter.

I wouldn't mind the odd day like that either. Grin

And I see crimes reported in the local paper that makes your toes curl.

Very interesting blog by Joani there.

Yes. This bit interests me:

Ms Wilson told the court: ‘There are two main issues. The first rests on whether Twitter is a public electronic communications network,’ which she said ‘had not been litigated in the high court

With regard to this, see:

The Communications Act 2003 was drawn up before the popularisation of social networking, and could not have foreseen how pervasive social networking would become in a short space of time. There remains ambiguity over what constitutes a public communications system. The original intent was to prevent the waste of public services funded by public money. Twitter and Facebook are "public" in the sense that they are free to use and open to view unless specified otherwise, they are not public services ; they are profit-making companies funded by investors and advertising.

During the Twitter Joke Trial, Paul Chambers' lawyers argued that there was no case to answer as Twitter did not constitute a public communications system in the nationalised sense. However, Judge Davies refuted this and argued that Twitter was based on the internet, which is a fundamentally public network[38] - despite being provided by a variety of profit-making ISPs, rather than being funded by the public for the public. Chambers' conviction was overturned by the High Court, but the definition of a public communications network still needs clarification.
