An insult to decency

[johncar54]

Fantastic the catch all you will obey or be arrested you can be arrested for "any" action under this law including the nice policeman feeling "alarmed or distressed" of you filming what he is doing for example thats much more worrying an assalt on our liberty

You Deadworth are doing exactly what you complain of " inciting racial hatred "

Thanks for that last comment, I have been trying to make that point in my posts here.

Re the first comment:- Unless things have changed, a person cannot be arrested for insulting a police officer. (One of the first things police in the Met learn is 'idle and silly words are unworthy of notice and should be ignored'). It has to be a member of the public

Here speaketh the man who eons ago (post 28) said in respect of charges that could be made " I think I have gone far enough with this. I don't want to go on and on following tangents"

I'd have thought the Police protecting the poppy burners would not find it difficult to follow the example of Sherlock Holmes and deduce that "threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress" were not directed at the Police but at the general "British" population and servicemen.
