English barrister, Blackbelt barrister recaps on the Met Police case -v- Tommy Robinson, now that Tommy won the case this morning. 6mins
No one has mentioned the fact that when the police went to arrest Tommy, he was having breakfast in a Cafe. His intention was to do some journalism after he had eaten his breakfast with his friend Richard. Suddenly the police burst in telling him to leave the area. Has Daniel confirms there is no law against being a journalist. I agree with Daniel the police did waste court time, when you consider that there are 67,000 cases waiting to go to court and 10,000 of those cases are rape cases.
Tommy's case was dismissed by the District Judge at Westminster Magistrates court. The Magistrates blog has featured a blogpost on why the police were beaten with the truth.
Tommy is within his legal rights to seek compensation for the "unlawful arrest" and "harassment" that which he suffered in the hands of the police. Sadly, "unlawful arrests", are nor rare, they are quite common. It is the Met police force and CPS that must get its own house in order.
This case they brought against Tommy Robinson has made the Met police and CPS a laughing stock. If we cannot rely on the police or CPS to stand in integrity, then the way is to keep on suing them until they do so. Although police and CPS involved in this case should resign, if not sack them, they themselves are not above the law, they must be held accountable.
Also there has to be an end to two-tier pier policing. I watched the London rally today, how the police created a blockade in Whitehall to stop people walking freely up and down Whitehall. It was clear provocation from the Met Police. There were people coming from Trafalgar Square to meet up with people that arrived from Waterloo and neither group could walk on Whitehall to meet with each other.
