I agree - common sense is exactly what is needed.
To arrest Darren took five police off the beat for 2 hours. Cost at £100 each per hour. £1000
Paperwork for court : Cost £1000
Time in Court : Two Days Cost £10,000
Custody in Police Station : Cost £2,000
Custody in Prison One Night : Cost £1,000 ( maybe more )
Total Cost of arrest £15,000
Does talking down a megaphone warrant £15,000 of taxpayers money ?
The answer is no. The Police should have considered this when they were being heavy handed. They could have released him at the Police Station without charge and with a warning about future behaviour. They could have gone down the ASBO route if others had complained ( Which they did not so they could not go down that route )
Darren was not offending anyone. In fact everyone there seemed to be enjoying his speech. What is wrong with that ? Common sense was lost by the Police. |

Yes I agree completely Angel - lets arrest everyone we dont agree with or who annoys us.
I would like to see all Liverpool fans who sing on the way to games in the streets arrested and jailed.
I would like to see all those people who leave concerts and sing together annoying us all on the tube late at night arrested.
I would like to see every Labour Party megaphone wielding person in Town Centres arrested for spreading their poison.
Hell - I would love to shut people up everywhere and make everyone be quiet.
Not only that I agree with you. Anyone called DARREN who comes from Birmingham should be arrested for having a crap name.
In fact these names should lead to instant arrest on our streets : Dwayne - Wayne - Waynetta - Vicky - Sharon - Darren ( of course ) .....and I am sure I could think of more given the time.
Yes lets arrest everyone who works in Banks and who has screwed the rest of us out of BILLIONS ! and why stop there. Lets arrest the MPs who have fiddled their expenses. Lets arrest and jail everyone who smokes cannabis.
So that in an ideal world Angel - you can be left alone - and me of course. With everyone else in jail who dont agree with us or come up our standards.
It is wonderful being a snob - a classless society.
Totally out of context BR. I'm not asking for everyone to be quiet. Let folk like Darren get his way and you'll open the flood gates to every nutter in town. Football fans, Politicians with megaphones etc are organised affairs. You live in an ideal world BR where Coppers cant even address "Darrens" by their bloody surname. Common sense is whats missing here. Is that too much to ask? |

As a UK CITIZEN we now have to give our fingerprints and DNA to prove our ID or we can be arrested and put into prison until our identity is proven.
This is now the law and this case has set precedent for this.
Be warned - this could happen to ANYONE who disagrees with the current GOVERNMENT.
I have a mail from the Conservative who lead the debate of changing the current DNA / fingerprints rules in the House of Commons. He makes it clear that any future Conservative government will repeal this legislation. The LibDems also oppose it.
We have lost more of our freedoms under "New Labour" than under any other government in history (and that includes the Civil War years). |

I'm confused here. How can someone be allowed to walk around town with a megaphone, making a nuisance of himself and not expect to find himself arrested? I'm not a big fan of the Police but if they keep selfish people like Darren off our streets them I'm all for it. By the way, is everyone with a Brummie accent called Darren? It seems so appropriate. |
