    I’ve been vaccinated for COVID 5 times over the last 3 years, and have received various vaccines over 41 years. Slowest. Euthanasia. Ever.

    Rofl, if this isn’t bullshit, those cops must have either been bored out of their minds or just had a good sense of humor.

    This is the law enforcement equivalent to a little kid yelling “BOO!” at you, and you pretending to be scared.

    “Whaaaaat, you’re arresting -meeee-?!?! Oh noooooo!”

      You can inform a police officer that he or she is under citizen arrest. You can call the police and have an officer come out with the paperwork, which YOU have to sign. If the arrest is false, YOU are liable both criminally and civilly.

      I’m trying to figure out their logic, they identify as a non-U.S. citizen, but believe they have jurisdiction to make arrests in another country? What is the plan? To detain or abduct members of a foreign country? I’m fairly certain that would be considered an act of war. Better make sure he isn’t armed or he’ll trigger article 5 of NATO and he’ll be at war with several countries.

    American here, how do you de - arrest someone? Over here once you’re arrested only a judge // jury can say you’re not guilty, the person that made the arrest, or the police don’t have any say in that part of the criminal justice system.

      If you’re de-arrested you’re not locked in a cell (custody). If you’re released after questioning it’s being de-arrested. If you’re held in a cell during any of it you can’t be de-arrested, you have to be “released without charge”.

      https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-magazine-monitor-29784497

      “de-arrested” is not technically the same as “released without charge”. The key difference in terminology is whether the person is taken into custody and processed, says a spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo).

      https://www.theguardian.com/world/2006/mar/01/law.emmabrockes

      TLDR:

      • Arrest - copper has you.
      • De-arrest - Copper lets go.
      • Released without charge - Released from police custody cell (jail) after an arrest.

      It happens all the time. Officer makes the decision to arrest, puts the person in handcuffs and the car. A supervisor shows up, a story gets changed, or an officer finds out that something proves someone is lying, and the person is released. I’ve seen it happen when a non-violent offender had warrants, but it turned out they were having a kid’s birthday party (discovered when the dad came out to check on the mom because she’d been outside ‘smoking’ for longer than usual).

      Arrested is a step up from detention. Detention = you’re not free to leave. Arrested = you are not free to go, you’re coming with the officer to jail, and they have belief you committed a crime that you will be charged with (or have a warrant, thus already charged). There is nothing that says once arrested an officer can’t take off handcuffs and let you go. There really isn’t that much distinguishing the two in the law, except for statutes about identifying yourself (where I live, anyway). My laws use the word custody in far greater amounts than arrest.

    Anti-vax sovcit? Mark my words - with that level of conspiracism and entitled self-victimisation, they’ll be a full-blown Nazi by the end of the year.

    It’s always the Jews with these fuckers.

      I strongly suspect the UK officers came to have a laugh at their expense when told some idiots were trying to “arrest” the police.

    The situation is dumb, but citizen’s arrest in general is covered by laws in some counties, UK being among them.
    In specific situations, a random person on the street can arrest a criminal lawfully.

  • As an American: I’m really sorry if we infected you with this particular brand of idiocy. If only there were a vaccine…

    Someone’s going to reply: education is, but I offer PragerU as counter-evidence. There’s a quality scale in education, as well.

        The best propaganda is simply the slice of truth you choose to show that supports your original claims.

        It is trivially easy to dig up instances of this or that medication having complications or side-effects. And I’ll openly admit that COVID boosters still leave me feeling like shit for a day afterwards. So folks at Praeger can pull together an assortment of anecdotes and testimonials to build an anti-vax case that is entirely “true” while still being complete bullshit by way of omission.

        That’s where the whole “getting educated” stuff is a double-edged sword. You can very easily feel well-informed based on the volume of information - true, legitimate, seriously sourced information, confirmable facts - you’ve ingested, and still be lead to some utterly false conclusions.

        You can play this game with Tylenol or Chemotherapy or Dialysis as easily as any vaccine. And I do get the sense that, as the UK moves towards divesting itself of a health care infrastructure because shit costs money, we’re going to get more and more of this kind of “Don’t even bother going to a doctor, they’ll kill you!” medical denialism as a kind-of coping mechanism for a health care system that’s been defunded to the point of uselessness.

      Don’t worry. My country’s bible belt has been used in epidemic studies for measles long ago. It’s not just 'Murica.

      I frequently have youtube up on my TV for background noise.

      PragerU and those AI generated ads talking about free money are things I see far to frequently, and make me far too irrationally angry.

      Sounds like they vaccinate people against diseases, which certain people think is a conspiracy. That’s my guess
