Arrested For Calling Someone A Muppet Section 4a Public Order!

What is going on guy's so today i visited Hull police station and i have to say they are all muppets who work there by far one of the worst stations i have visited and the worst in Humberside! Arrested for section 4a Public Order for calling someone a Muppet!

[@holdfast7657]

[@mousecoder1306]

Section 4a includes using 'insulting' language, which means that you could literally say 'hello' to a person and they could have you arrested for committing a section 4a public order offence. The problem is whether something is insulting is subjective rather than objective. Therefore, hello may be subjectively fine with one person, but subjectively insulting with another (e.g., say that person came from a culture where it is insulting to say hello before saying your name... for arguments sake)., Now, onto the specific offence in this video: I regard muppet as subjectively complimentary, as the Muppet show was one of my favourite shows as a child. It portrayed various characters in a positive esteem who entertained and gave joy to countless people. Therefore, to me Muppet is a compliment. However, to some people Muppet is subjectively insulting, as they regard Muppet as an insulting word - maybe they could not afford a telly so never watched the Muppet Show. It's a grey area of the law which needs updating.

Two officers did disgusting unlawful things to me and my non verbal autistic 8yr old son at the time, 4 years ago. A grown woman in her late 30’s hit him on the sly. I saw and got angry. The store called the police on me and hid cctv evidence, said there was none in the store. But told me it was blurry, when I went next day to complain about our treatment. They teamed up with the police, told lies, got me arrested, then everyone turned on me, they was glad they covered up a grown woman hitting my child. I won the court case and they told the biggest lies. My son had to go with emergency carers, because I was in the cells because I wasn’t happy a lady hit my son. The police attacked me and my son when they turned up, grabbing our hand shaking it and laughing, my necklace broke and I was telling them to stop, because my son will run in the road. They laughed and said “so what, I don’t care, I’ll arrest you”. So much to it that I can’t write it all. I’m not surprised by their behaviour at all anymore since then.

[@aloh5613]

When they mention alarm, harassment and distress. All 3 have to occur! 1 encounter is not harassment. A loud bang could alarm someone. So that is subjective. Distress, you could be late for work and that can cause distress. Again this is subjective. The victim needs to demonstrate lasting damage from your interaction. Otherwise it's not more than a hurt ego or hurt feeling 😉

[@TheSadButMadLad]

And uses threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour. Calling someone a muppet is not insulting, nor a threat, not abusive.

[@wofutokerati]

This is almost entirely incorrect. I’m a huge fan of auditing generally, but not the spreading of misinformation in the comments sections of the videos! All three don’t have to occur at all. That’s why it’s written as harassment, alarm OR distress. The offence of intentional harassment under the Public Order Act is different to the offence of harassment. The Public Order Act offence refers to a single incident where you have intentionally caused distress or alarm to another person. It’s also not the case that the incident has to provoke lasting damage, only that it has a “significant effect” on the victim. Nonetheless, the CPS wouldn’t have brought a charge as it wouldn’t have been in the public interest (due to its nature). I’m not being insolent, but please don’t advise where you’re uncertain. The purpose of auditing is to ensure that the Police only act within the remit of the law, not what you think should constitute it. All the best.

The reason that the public order offences that ‘cause alarm, harassment or distress’ are so open to abuse is because it is an offence that appears to be enacted on consequence rather than any cause.

Defo go for a civil case. Go for £1k. That the custody sgt refused to accept your detention means that they haven't got a leg to stand on when it comes to fighting the case.

4 officers to arrest a Man then ultimately letting him go. Talk about a waste a public resources.

[@jamesfirth2392]

Simple. The officers are frustrated, rightly or wrongly that they have no power over you filming from a public space. Therefore they will look for any offence that they can think of. Custody Sergeants are in daily contact with solicitors and know when an offence can be progressed to prosecution. Arresting someone and having detention refused is highly embarrassing.

You shouldn't have given your details over until they are booking you in. And for a summery only offence you are not obligated to comply with the biometric process, so no fingerprints, DNA or photo.

[@AY-Audits]

I didnt

[@PINACI]

@@AY-Audits You said you gave your details to the custody sergeant and then he refused to allow your detention. You could have asked if you are going to be detained in a cell first and then and only then should you give details. Anything less than that then you're not obligated to.

Good job there was only 4 of them I'd hate to think they're wasting public money. They must be the very bravest. 💪

[@andywoollard]

I don't know if you plan to make a civil claim but, I'd be tempted to take this one to court - the police's abuse of the public order act needs to be exposed and made painful for the powers that be.

[@Offensiveword]

Disgusting behaviour from the police. Again !

[@ShellL]

You freaked me out with the Arrest Statement.

[@AY-Audits]

🤣🤣🤣

[@rossnicol9099]

Well done AY. Sorry you were put through this but big respect for you lad.

[@stuartb4525]

AY, this station has been done so many times, one would think they would of got the message?

[@AY-Audits]

Exactly
