  • Can speed cameras, or police officers hide with a speed camera/gun?

    Can speed cameras, or police officers hide with a speed camera? The answer is, yes. Speed cameras, or police staff have the legal/moral right to catch speeding drivers, whether there are signs, or not. It also doesn't matter whether they hide, for example, if a police officer wants to hide in a bush with a speed camera, then this would be fine. Am I allowed a ten-percent leeway by law? No, speeding by any amount/percentage is still a crime, and going one mile over the legal speed limit can, and should have you dealt with (fined, and points added to your license). However, some #police forces have a two/three mile per hour tolerance guideline, this is not law, and is only advice. Forces can still fine you for driving by any percentage over the posted speed limit. According to https://www.telegraph.co.uk/cars/ "If you get caught driving at 31mph, to 40mph in a 30mph zone, you'll probably get a fine of 50% of your weekly income. You'll also probably get three points on your licence."

  • UK: Parents may be criminally, or civilly prosecuted for tapping into their kid's phones

    Whether parents believe they are 'right, or justified' to tap into their teen's phone, they are still in actual fact breaking the law, so therefor could face civil, or criminal charges. The behaviour is controlling, unlawful, and is more likely to cause a teenager to try to hide any "bad" behaviour because they will know that you are snooping, and looking for it. Looking through your teenager's phone can have you put behind bars for up to six months, and can have you fined £5, 000. If you intend to commit any other crime whilst logged in, ie, reading text messages, then you may be jailed for up to five years, and may receive an unlimited fine. According to the Computer Misuse Act (1990). Snooping through your teenager's phone/device may also get you sued for breaching 'privacy rights', and may also have you criminally prosecuted for a variety of hacking offenses, under both international, and domestic, as well as #European laws. Hacking ANYONE, your child, or not, is still a crime, and is a civil tort, and may have you sentenced, or sued. Your teen would be within their legal jurisdiction/rights to sue, or prosecute you for hacking, and phone-tapping.

  • The UK is in a police state, here's why

    Since the global #Covid-19 outbreak began, the #British police have been enforcing totalitarian #Coronavirus "laws". The #UK's police have been assaulting protestors, breaching people's international human rights, and domestic human rights, as well as enforcing draconian "laws". In a police state, the #police hog, and restrict people's liberties when told to do so by the government. This is why the UK is in a police state, because the police are enforcing unlawful orders, commands, and laws when the British government say so. The police are assaulting protestors for no reason. Police are arresting people for protesting, despite the fact that protesting is a fundamental human right because people have the right to 'Freedom of assembly, and association'. The police are also unlawfully asking shoppers, and travellers why they aren't wearing a mask. This is discriminatory because the asking of someone's state of health, or disability is against the law. The only power people/retailers have, is to offer someone a face mask, they cannot ask whether you are exempt, or not. The reason offering a face mask is not discriminatory is because retailers, and citizens, as well as police may offer you a mask, however, this must be the same as offering someone a bar of soap, and must not be deemed to be challenging, or discriminatory. The police are enforcing social distancing. The police have no right to tell people where to walk, where to stand, or what to do. The police are controlling who people 'can', and 'cannot' mix with. The police have no right to control who people can, and cannot see see, as this is totalitarianism. Having a new virus does not excuse law-breaking. The police are enforcing the totalitarian Coronavirus "laws". The police are issuing Covid-19 fines of up to ten-thousand pounds, as well as arresting people for "not complying". These fines are issued for "breaches" of the "Coronavirus laws". The reason Britain is in a police state is because, according to https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/police-state "A police state is a country in which the government controls people's freedom by means of the police, especially secret police." The police are also unlawfully testing people for the virus, this is totalitarian because 'policing by consent' means the police MUST have the public's consent before proceeding with a job, and if people do not consent to be swabbed, that is their right. Dwayne Hards (#LCN Founder/#Leader) is 'disgusted, appalled, and ashamed' of the UK's police. Dwayne called the UK a "Nazi, authoritarian, draconian, and totalitarian state".

  • "Indian Variant" is a racist term, here's why

    As new strains of the #Coronavirus emerge, they are being named in a racist, and wrongful way. The government has named the latest strain of #Covid-19 the "Indian Variant". Naming these new strains of the Coronavirus is bound to cause discrimination, and racism because people will fear certain people because of their ethnic origin, and even their skin colour, or religion. Attacks can even happen against people because of their ethnicity because people have previously been coughed on, spat at, abused, and racially attacked because of the way the government had broadcasted the Coronavirus strain, racially attacking the Chinese. For example, former #US president, Donald #Trump, called the first Covid-19 strain "the Chinese virus", and "Kung-Flu", which is racist, and discriminatory, as well as being unfair. The way the strains are being named by many governments is likely to cause unprovoked hatred against certain ethnic groups, and may also incite racial assaults. The names also increase the chances of certain ethnic groups being discriminated against, or worse.
