Greta Thunberg: Case thrown because of 'no evidence'
Greta Thunberg: Case thrown because of 'no evidence'
She was arrested at a demonstration in October, with the judge concluding that the law was unclear.
TFA: Greta Thunberg and four co-defendants have been found not guilty of breaking the law when they refused to follow police instructions to move on during a climate protest.
District Judge John Laws threw out a public order charge due to "no evidence" and added police attempted to impose "unlawful" conditions during a protest.
Oh so they're like to charge the cops for trying to impose unlawful conditions right? right?
I hate the cops as much as everyone but thats not what the ruling says at all.
The case was thrown out not because the cope were doing anything illegal, but because their instructions to the protestors were so unclear they couldn't be considered a lawful order.
As well as the fact that the incompetent cops didn't take statements from anyone so there's no evidence to prove they violated section 14.
Honestly part of me suspects the cops might have did it on purpose because they were ordered to stop it but didn't really want to. But that's probably giving them too much credit honestly, incompetence is the most likely answer.

I do love how the government and the police are trying to impose a police state, while at the same time having giant arguments with each other and criticizing each other even though they both want the same thing, while at the same time the courts are not having any of it from either group.
I suppose it's a good thing that these fascist idiots can't organize themselves, but I really wish they weren't in positions of authority to begin with.
This just in: cops worldwide are lying scumfucks and enemies of the people and human progress.
Errico Malatesta's "For The Higher Police Authorities" provides a very good summary of the state of the police:
That the Police are indiscreet, vexatious, evil and, when it happens, even brutal, is something that we understand: it is the profession that wants it. They have always been and will always be like that, in any regime: and therefore we must fight for their radical abolition and not for their reform. But do they really need to be also, and above all, stupid? It would seem so.
The Tuscans usually say: he who is born a fool is never cured [chi nasce bischero non guarisce più].
Once Depretis, attacked by Deputy Tajani, because there were a number of criminals in the police force, replied: "But who do you want me to put in, if the honest men don't want to do that job?" If someone reproached Giolitti, who is a rascal but not an idiot, the ineptitude of his agents, he might reply: "But what can I do if intelligent men don’t want to be policemen?"
class traitors have no moral compass? Say it isn't so.
Probably just incompetent more that anything
I had no idea what charge this was referring to. Here's the important bit from the article:
Greta Thunberg and four co-defendants have been found not guilty of breaking the law when they refused to follow police instructions to move on during a climate protest.
District Judge John Laws...
Another case of nominative determinism at work?
john was born for this job.
Reject modernity, return to caste system.
I know a Simon Banks who works in a bank. Go figure
Excellent, another one for !nominativedeterminism@feddit.uk
That's a legal way to say
Greta Thunberg: Case thrown because of 'bull shit argument made up by a stupid policeman'
The 21-year-old campaigner
It seems like she was just twelve or something yesterday. Damn, time slips by.
My question is whether she continues to the point where she gets arrested for good. Staying on the line is quite beneficial for her because she gets publicity and that’s what she wants.
Tbh, I would not be very concerned if she was arrested.
I mean there were few options for a guy named “John Law” other to become a judge right?
Good work Greta!
Hah, get fucked polluters.
Public execution for any cunt cops overstepping the law.
Keep making them roll that dice
That...doesn't look like Greta at all. Oof, what happened to her? She used to look better
Absolute wild comment to make about someone who looks like a normal 21 year old
