UK arrests & raids, possibly climate action related

Niemoller | 27.05.2010 21:23 | Climate Chaos | Repression | Terror War

At lunchtime on Wednesday 26th May two addresses in Belper, Derbyshire, were raided by the North Yorkshire Counter Terrorist Unit.

One woman from The Sailboat Project was arrested on charges of conspiracy to commit criminal damage. She has since been released without charge, but bailed to return to the police station in two months (no bail conditions). Large quantities of property was confiscated, including IT equipment and mobile phones belonging to the arrestee and to other residents & visitors in the house at the time. Another woman who was away, today handed herself in to North Yorkshire police in Sussex and has been questioned and released.

One address in Sholebroke Avenue, Leeds was visited by police looking
for specific people identified as having taken part in kayak training
run by the Sailboat Project in North Yorkshire in April. The training was publicly advertised and well attended. The police questioned one individual. Questions included:
- what other groups are they part of
- why were they on the training
- who else was on the training
- were they planning to take action against power stations

The previous day (Tuesday 25th), police searched the premises of a
different organisation not involved in boats, but with links to various gatherings. Nothing was taken. The warrant was under the Terrorism Act and is possibly related.

We are not aware of any other contact by the police, but plenty of other people were on the training...

Terrorism Act?

28.05.2010 13:59

WTF?

Those arrested should take that up with their MP. Is this an example of

* We will restore rights to non-violent protest. and

* We will introduce safeguards against the misuse of anti-terrorism legislation.

which the new government promised?

Drax?

Hmm... North Yorkshire might make one think of Drax... or doesn't it work like that?

Kayak training ?

28.05.2010 21:17

hardly the choice of stealth a few dozen kayaks, which have to be taken to site on car roofs ?
How about blow up rubber dingy in a black bag training. ?

No one is aloud to arrest or otherwise detain anyone against their will without good cause. Good cause dose not include "because the sergeant told me to"
Or "because I'm a policeman".
If the police don't offer any believable reason or evidence for the arrest:
1) serve them with an affidavit of events
2) serve them with a schedule of your fees
3) serve them with a notice of claim
And follow up with an N1 from your local county court.
Chances are that they will just pay it to save the embarrassment.
Too many activists just walk away after false arrests and the police have come to expect it.
Don't be shy. If you don't claim, you won't get.

Disclaimer: This is not legal advice. It is for entertainment purposes only. If you want legal advice and a hole in your wallet, ask a solicitor.

the police are idiots, they follow leads like dogs snif biscuits - always, without hesistation - so getting arrested doesn't automatically result in court cases/convictions/criminal records...Recently the police have had a few cases that they've won and far more, if you ask me, that they lost. They lose cases all the time. so fuck em......see you at Drax...Or ratcliffe....or...maybe a bank...or an israeli embassy.............training to be anounced.....FUCK EM ALL!
