Arrests in UK for not wearing a mask

I have seen videos of this happening, I don’t know how prevalent it is or how many people have been abused this way, 1 is too many.

Are you seeing these videos in the UK or are they being censored?

I also question the pro-vaxxers in the “Lounge”, are you OK with this?
 
in the UK at the moment, it is the law that you wear a face covering in certain settings. if someone is not wearing a face covering, they are breaking the law, so i dont see any reason why someone breaking the law shouldn't be fined, and if you put up resistance, then you could and should be arrested, in my opinion.

however, the arrest should be carried out in the proper way, and not use excessive force.
 
Why would you not be arrested if you are found to be breaking the law, there is very little ambiguity in this surely?

Clearly the method of arrest needs to be proportionate to the situation.
 
I'm seeing random levels of violence and aggression shown towards ordinary members of the public, also some of whom have mask-exemptions.
The problem is the interpretation and implementation of a set of isanely vague instructions issued by the HO to police forces around the UK and a complete lack of oversight and accountability.
It's basically open-season for the cops turning into tyrannical little hitlers!
You thought they were there to protect us all? Dream on.
:roll:
 
I see you are from the US - this is the UK law on facemasks :
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own/face-coverings-when-to-wear-one-and-how-to-make-your-own

It is a legal rquirement to wear one with a fine if you refiuse to comply - if the video you are talking about is the Hereford man he refused to wear a mask claiming he had an exemption and more importantly refused to give his details to the police so they coluld check so he was arrested - basically
for being a Twat -
This is off the Gov.uk site
"The police can take measures if members of the public do not comply with this law without a valid exemption and transport operators can deny access to their public transport services if a passenger is not wearing a face covering, or direct them to wear one or leave a service.

If necessary the police and Transport for London (TfL) officers have enforcement powers, including issuing fines of £200 (reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days) for the first offence.

If you dont want to wear a mask - stay out of the defined areas where it is a legal requirement. If you have a medical exemption - carry it.
 
I have a feeling if I reply to this thread as I would like to; I will be banned from this site! :x
 
I would suggest that in some cases at least, people are being asked by the police to put a mask on. If they cannot prove they are exempt and refuse to comply then it is more likely that the arrest is for refusing to obey a police officer carrying out his lawful duties (not the correct wording I know).
We have had some over-zealous police reactions, but they were several months ago and the social media outcry was such that I'm sure they are all very much more aware now.

On the plus side, none of them have been shot or knelt on. :poke: :wink:

Wacko pro-this, anti-that factions and conspiracies are very boring TBH. Who cares? Lets just do what we can to get things better and maybe we can all get back to driving our ZeeFours :driving:

BTW I've had my jab, I haven't grown two heads, my balls didn't fall off and I checked myself with a bug detector and I'm definitely not being tracked :spy:
 
You worry about your own trump house and leave us to worry about mask wearing or not as is the case in the uk :fuelfire:
 
Are you really questioning what happens here? Our cops don't go for their gun as a plan A and we are at least making an effort to work with the science which many republican governors of US states seem oblivious too - 500,000 and counting :(
 
I'm surprised and (if I'm honest) a little disappointed this thread hasn' t provoked more reaction.

So 1 is too many people being arrested; but is 123,783 people dead (as of today in the UK) acceptable?

With 530,971 people dead in the US (as of today). This, per capita, is about the same number.

These figures are OK with you are they, as long as no-one's "civil liberties" are abused?

Anybody who has these attitudes, should be forced to visit ANY hospital's Intensive Care Unit and see for themselves the consequences of their behaviour!

And I said I wasn't going to get involved :x

Got his reaction from me on the jab thread so I’m no playing his game 🤐🤐🤐🤐
 
After reading about your depopulation conspiracy theories i can’t take anything you say seriously :roll:

Just to cover a few of the comments from your posts.

I unintentionally touched a nationalist nerve with my post, it was not meant to do so.

I am working from home and I listen to videos while I work. So this morning I put on one that started off with a man being arrested by two female officers in the UK. He did not resist in the least (at least what was seen in the video) he was handcuffed and put in the police car, they did not treat him roughly. Watching that and having the connection with a UK based forum I thought I'd run my brief post past you all and see what you thought.

I have seen others where the police from the UK and Australia were brutally handling people not wearing a mask. To be honest I have seen similar ones from the US.

1 – I despise police brutality and the overstepping of their bounds from police in any country. I fully agree that the US has a problem with that as well.
In my youth I spent one night in a jail cell in the city of Pittsburgh. I was treated well, with respect, dignity and professionalism. I have nothing against police in general, they are needed in a civilized society. But abuse of police power I can not condone or tolerate.

2 – Yes I proudly wear my tinfoil hat and in general distrust governments, big corporations and the main stream media. I do honestly believe that this whole Covid thing is (if not a complete hoax) at least trumped up fear porn to manipulate and control the population at large. And yes I also believe that the ultimate goal of this experimental vaccine is a depopulation scheme.

The overall death rates of 2019 and 2020 do not show a significant rise in deaths that one would expect to see were a real pandemic to hit the world.

I believe that the number of Covid deaths are greatly exaggerated. I have seen statistics to validate that belief. One personal note of interest is that my niece works in the health insurance industry and the US government gives a hospital $39,000 for a death, in hospital, attributed to Covid 19. That being the case, what idiot would list anything but Covid as the cause of death? Isn't it interesting that there were next to no deaths caused by influenza in 2020...Hmmmmmm?

IMO this “pandemic” is being used to gain power (over the population at large), garner more wealth for the likes of Bill Gates (Mr Vaccine, if you will) and others of his ilk, the vaccine manufacturers and large corporations. Small business has been greatly damaged by the draconian restrictions put into place by our loving governments while Walmart, Amazon and other corporate giants have gobbled up what small business was forced to give up. All these Covid measures are more about control than they are about health.

3 – With respect to Republican vs Democrat run states having more or less cases of the virus, I looked this up and got varying views on that (many of the articles were months old and therefore I would not quote them). I'm not sure that a current assessment of the states with respect to those statistics is available, therefore I will state no opinion. I just wish Comrade Wolf (Pennsylvania's beloved Governor, a Democrat) was one that had lifted the restrictions. He is term limited and can not serve another term as the Governor of PA so I'm sure he has no compunction following the explicit directions of his NWO handlers...I'm sure they reward him quite nicely.

4 – Masks in general, what a joke. There are plenty of doctors on both sides of that issue. Of course I agree with those whose opinion is that they are basically useless for stopping the transmission of any virus.

I found it interesting that no one really, specifically, answered the two questions I posed. I do appreciate all of the responses no matter what position you might take on this whole affair. And, I do hope I'm wrong about much of what I believe, specifically regarding depopulation...but I fear that I am not. Time will tell.
 
:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
Seem have left off flat earth, the moon landing and the tooth fairy off the list above. Granted, I’m still on the fence about the tooth fairy.

Echo this - of course masks are absolutely pointless when you are trying to reduce the transmission of a virus that is highly transmissable and likely to be airborne. Utter nonsense :headbang:
