Dwayne Hards calls Derbyshire Police totalitarian, thieves, and petty after 7 e-scooters 'stolen'

#Derbyshire #Police have been criticised by Dwayne Hards after "stealing" 7 e-scooters off of #Derby's streets.

Dwayne Hards said: "Derby Police have acted in an authoritarian, and totalitarian manor. Stealing e-scooters off of our streets is petty, and unjustified, as well as being unacceptable. If it were me, I would wear a crash helmet, and a coloured jacket (so I am untraceable), then I would carry one, and ignore the 'feds'.

This is turning into a '#Nazi Police State'. Enforcing void "laws"/"rules", and enforcing whatever tory-laws are thrown at them. The police must refuse to enforce them, unless they have a genuine purpose (e.g.) assault. This is theft under international law."

Derbyshire Police said: "While you can use an e-scooter that is provided by the local authority as part of a government backed pilot, one of which is currently running in Derby, but any other user is running the risk of having their scooter seized."
