Prosecuted - over a car sticker

Sticker216 Over at the Freedom Association's blog, Danny McMahon has written an excellent blogpost drawing our attention to the preposterous case of a woman who has found himself in trouble with the Police for displaying a car sticker with the slogan "On the first day God created United then completely f***ed up and created City."

According to Danny's piece, the lady in question has been accused by Police officers of breaching public order legislation and handed a fine - which she has quite rightly refused to pay.

Aside from the arguments the BBW team have made over the last few weeks about the overly invasive aspects the 32-page form, Alex says: "I have never broken the law before, so forgive me for overthinking it - there are certain parallels that come to mind. Why can't I bring myself to complete and sign this dreadful nonsense, even though there's no real harm that will come to me personally if I do, and...

Weekly newsletter Welcome to the Big Brother Watch newsletter. This week, the BBW team's work was dominated by the government's decision to launch an all-out assault on the rights of smokers - from imposing a display ban on cigarettes to bringing forward plans for plain packaging on all tobacco products. We've also highlighted excellent research by Action on Rights for Children pointing to a surge in the number of schools fingerprinting their pupils before the practice is banned, the efforts of a group of Medway bikers to keep CCTV cars off the streets and campaigned against the government's hugely intrusive census.
