The crime of offence, to someone.




That was during the period of Queen Elizabeth's funeral.

I am referring to people being actually arrested in the past week for the crime of having a sign.

>The police found placards and “items which at the time they had reasonable grounds to believe could be used as lock-on devices,” according to the statement, and arrested six people “on suspicion of going equipped for locking on.”

>The protesters who were arrested said that the devices were in fact luggage straps to fasten banners. After the police investigation failed to prove that anyone had intended to use the straps to lock on, all six had their bail canceled and no further action would be taken against them, the police said.
