my fella praying in the street is unrelated to the other woman praying in the street ?

do you hear yourself Wisbech ?

Kayla did Anfield & Old Trafford

Her physical presence in the public space protection order area wasn’t a crime in itself. It was the contents of her private thoughts that were considered a crime - an Orwellian Thought Crime. If she had stood in the same place thinking about something else, she would not have been arrested. This repressive regulation is trying to police peoples' thoughts.

Are you being deliberately obtuse?

She had previous. No doubt on previous occasions she was asked to move on as her activity was considered in contravention of the order. Only persistent disregard would result in an arrest. You might not think that someone just standing quietly constitutes a threat but you aren’t a vulnerable lady and it’s not up to you to make that determination. It has been made by those whose responsibility it is. You disagree. That’s tough. The law is sometimes.

If the authorities decide that her actions indicate she is breaking the order then she will be asked to leave or removed if she refuses. She can always sue for wrongful arrest and you can represent her. Good luck with that.

so I am not on anyone’s side but if this woman is an activist with previous; then surely removing her from the area is reasonable and legal.
I mean if ten people with previous for ER protests with a bucket of superglue stand at clacket lane what are they about to do. The very thing that we want the police to stop but if plod waited until they’re stuck to the M25 before acting there would be all sorts of questions. That’s a mad analogy but all of us want people stopped or searched before they get a chance to commit a crime or hassle people. This woman could have approached a woman requiring the services of the clinic at a time when a woman’s head would be all over the place, fortunately she didn’t get the chance (again); which she has before according to reports.

Doesn’t matter. Her intention was to intimidate. Otherwise she would not have been where she was, despite that being against the law.

Not necessary. They would ask questions and decide on the answers. Someone just loitering in a street where an order exists is either up to no good or needs help.
