The law does not protect people from being offended.

Statutes are NOT laws.

The correct response to The constable is to say: "If you arrest me I will sue you for assault, armed kidnap and unlawful imprisonment."

The law of the land is the Common Law.

Statutes are not the law. This must be explained politely to the officer. Under Common Law you can indeed be arrested for "causing controversy" ie being argumentative, or for "dishonour" ie staying silent and refusing to engage with a police officer.

Freedom of speech is protected by law, and that includes the freedom to offend.

Probably, this guy is going to be arrested under Section 5 of the Public Order Act 1986.

Acts of Parliament are Statutes.

Once more for good luck: Statutes are not laws.

Realistically how effective is that in the UK? Here in the states we have a saying, "You can beat the rap but you can't beat the ride.". What that means is that once you've engaged the police officer on that level, you ARE going to jail. The charges might be dropped, or you could be RoR'd, but once the handcuffs are out you cannot argue your way out of being arrested.

You're right, once they've arrested you, that's when you shut your mouth. You'll have to let things take their course and re-take the initiative when you're released.

You could try a Writ of Habeas Corpus to expedite proceedings but remember - the police don't know much about law and justice, at least on the junior levels.

My own experience is when I nearly got arrested for an alleged public order offence and I was fortunate that a very senior copper was present. The two muppets - constables (the most junior police) - didn't know what I was talking about when I explained about law/statute, but the Detective Chief Superintendent did. I was released with no action taken.

Incidentally, if the police ask for your name, the correct response is: "The law does not require me to provide that information."

Confidence and polite manners are essential, but knowing your rights is vital.

For low level stuff like public order, the police don't really want to arrest you, because it takes them away from their job and lands them with around five hours of paperwork. They'll even put up with being sworn at. Lay a finger on one of them though, and you'll be sleeping in the cell for the night!

Can you explain this to me?

The people make the law, and this was settled in 1215 with Magna Carta. The Common Law is the law of the land.

Statutes are made by parliament on behalf of the Crown, under colour of Maritime Law - the law of the sea.

It's a deep subject and takes us into a long historical debate around language and word magick. We are tricked into using the legal name on the birth/berth certificate, and using their current-of-the-sea, or currency, to trade.

The Crown is a satanic body that usurps our power, which we give freely when we don't know what's being done to us.

Vegans annoy the fuck out of me. With the exception of one, all the ones I have met are stuck up pricks who think they are holier then thou.

Interesting that they had time to come out and nail this guy, but if you're being chased around London by a knife-wielding Aprefrican the cops won't come out for at least 45 minutes. Sometimes they just don't show up at all, but they have time for this shit.

Time to put one of them up on a gibbet in Minecraft, as an example to all the other Griefers.
