Shoot a gun in America as a Brit and see what happens

UK Man ARRESTED After Posting Gun Photo Taken in America?!If this is true then I can not wait until someone in the UK gets into power with some brains.  Of course the many Mohamed's want everyone disarmed as it makes it easier to move to their final phase of domination of religion.

West Yorkshire police are getting a bit of a reputation with these sort of things!

When an Internet post can get you arrested if your government thinks you are questioning them, I am surprised it took this long to happen. 

I hope those two guys from there traveling around America tasting the local food don't get arrested upon return. They made many comments about certain foods cound never be served in the UK. Their government may misunderstand their comments.




I am certain they have violated some law in one of their videos. 

Many UK laws are ridiculous.

Those charges were dropped. He was also arrested for stalking. Someone felt threatened.

Opinion from the Yorkshire Post:

Time and time again, he was visited by West Yorkshire Police. He had technical equipment and devices needed to run his business seized and confiscated, and at one point held prisoner in a cell overnight. The repeated knocks at the door by officers caused his friends and neighbours to be wary of him and to shun him, leaving him feeling fearful, isolated and ashamed.

Now, though, the Crown Prosecution Service has assessed and thrown out the case, this newspaper has learned, citing the scant possibility of any conviction as the reason for doing so. Mr Richelieu-Booth, in the circumstances, could be forgiven, then, for feeling a sense of relief and vindication, yet those are not his overwhelming emotions instead likening what happened to him as a vexed witch hunt.

He says the experience was dark and Orwellian. A dystopian nightmare brought about by an innocuous post on social media – from halfway across the world, whilst enjoying a holiday – inflicted upon him by West Yorkshire Police which, analysis shows, was second only, in 2023, to the Metropolitan Police for arresting people for posts on social media.

On the evidence seen by The Yorkshire Post, there was never a scintilla of a chance of a successful prosecution, and so serious questions remain about the policing standards and motivations applied in this case, and the leadership who permitted his pursuit until the day after this newspaper applied to cover the impending court case. It is not good enough, as it has, for West Yorkshire Police to hide behind its completely inadequate response that Mr Richelieu-Booth might complain about how they treated him, and so will not comment. His ordeal is one that will be deleterious to confidence in the police for the wider public, and one that will have a chilling effect on freedom of speech. More answers must follow.

My brother visits friends in America, and has been shooting there a few times, also posting video of it, never once arrested for any gun crimes. 

But then he also did airsoft for a while and posted a photo of a wall of airsoft weapons in his bedroom. We did get a visit from a friendly armed unit to check them over. 

If this guy was known to his local police for something else, they were just doing their due diligence.

There were allegations of stalking that were dropped, maybe the accuser felt threaten by him, and notified the police? Many stalkers aren't prosecuted for their actions, with some women killed after informing the police, who haven't taken any action.
I think this could be an overaction in response to claims the police aren't doing enough when someone comes forward with claims.

He only spent one night in the cells and no charges were bought against him

Oh were the allegations of stalking dropped? I didn't see that, I only saw that the social media posts stuff was dropped. I didn't read too closely, maybe I missed it. I thought there were still ongoing restraining orders though? That's the impression I got. Also I wonder what the second social media post they mentioned was all about. The articles didn't give those details.

But also I suppose that now that all the collieries are shut down the authorities in Yorkshire are trying to make diamonds by taking whatever lumps are left and compressing them in their bum. They need to get some perspective.

I couldn't find any other details on his public order offence, but the way it's worded by the police, appears to me an ex-wife or partner or something along those lines made those allegations, so I think they investigated.
 

‘Police received a complaint of stalking involving serious alarm or distress, relating partly to social media posts, several of which included pictures of a male posing with a variety of firearms which the complainant took to be a threat.

Yea it's that "partly" bit that made me wonder. They really dropped the ball on the reporting, because explaining that would give perspective to the entire situation. At the extreme, was he actually tailing someone and a threat and they didn't have proof and thus had to use the posts as tangential evidence of mal-intent? Or, was there some personal disagreement and someone used that as a means to smear him in any way possible? It's unclear from the article. Bad reporting. Or perhaps, in a media-sensationistic age, good reporting, in that it allows those with outrage-agendas to read into it in whatever way they want. Sigh. But we knew that would happen as soon as Breitbart picked up the story.

What is clear, though, is that social-media policing can be weaponized and selectively applied, in ways not always in service of justice.

Did it not turn out to be he was stalking some poor sod?

As to the gun pics, perfectly legal in the USA, and i imagine the images probably have geotags that could prove location.
