HOLY SHIT "PC Lyon assured us that our client was under no threat of arrest, that he would consider the information we provided, and would seek advice from a senior officer prior to further action.
Within two hours of this conversation, PC Lyon appeared at our client’s door. He informed her that Fair Cop had given her false advice, and that the Miller ruling in fact obliged the police to arrest her should she maintain her refusal to attend a voluntary interview. Astonishingly, PC Lyon stated that the interview was for her own good.
Our client attended the interview the following day. Whilst the manner of PC Lyon was business like and not overbearing, he informed her that she was not under arrest, and was free to leave at any time. However, he also warned her that, should she exercise her right to leave, he may arrest her. This is the very definition of gaslighting and coercive control.
Turning to the interview itself, PC Lyon asked our client why she used social media, how often she posted, and whether she had any lawful excuse for doing so.
Our client does not need to rely on a “lawful excuse” for posting on social media. X is a forum where information is given and received, and her right to engage in this a flow of information without interference from the police is protected by Article 11 ECHR.
The content of her activity on X is protected by Article 10. Nothing that she posted comes close to falling outside that protection. Expressing the view that trans women are men is a belief specifically covered by Forstater and Miller. Her other expressions are equally protected.To Chief Constable Vanessa Jardine, Northumbria Constabulary. 13th November 2023" https://savageminds.substack.com/p/fair-cops-letter-to-chief-constable?publication_id=65949&post_id=138830846&isFreemail=false&r=388sc
