    Yeah, it’s silly and needlesly cruel. Fuck cops, fuck the courts and fuck the entire ‘legal’ and ‘government’ systems for this, and specifically fuck the ECHR and the NPCC. They should all be gotten rid of.

    OK, how long until the Cops either:

    1. Accuse a ciswoman of being trans to strip search her.
    2. Use this to harass transwomen.

      That’s exactly what I was gonna say.

      Ever since I saw this news in a video and the person ehad the same thought, that has terrified me, and I’m not even one of the people this would effect.

    Ladies if you are forced to strip by a male officer just piss on them, its morally correct.

      As much as we wish for retribution for this, this will probably get us in more trouble legally.

      The best way to deal with police is come together as a community and make it very clear they are not wanted in an area bu whatever means necessary.

      Collective action is the best way to deal with outdated fossils like this.

        Of course, it was just a bit of an angry joke

        Collective action for sure

          We understand, just warning others in case they took it seriously and got into more trouble, not getting at you.
