Geeklawyer was a trifle amused by the story of an accused being able to retain £14million following a botched civil seizure action by the government. As outlined here the government lost a case because it wouldn’t pay barristers a proper rate. No barrister would accept the defendants brief so he had to defend himself while […]

Geeklawyer was, predictably, smug at the Court of Appeal’s decision to tell the Government that Tony Bliar’s policy of ejecting People-We-Dont-Like to Tyrannies-We-Now-Like with civil liberties regimes that he hoped to emulate is illegal. Of course the obvious danger to this unwilling tourist was entirely negated: Phoney Tony got a solemn good conduct note, scribbled […]

Geeklawyer notes, wearily, as does the rest of the world, the government’s latest techno wheeze for solving crime: inserting chips into criminals.
A few short years go we were told that electronic tags would solve the menace of innocent not-yet-convicted people committing new crime while on bail and also reduce prison overcrowding by allowing non-custodial options. […]

Sodom and Gomorrah by Sea, or ‘Brighton‘ as its inhabitants have nicknamed it, has a problem with hate music. It seems that the council is concerned that those members of the right sort of minority group need protecting from being mocked by members of the wrong kind of minority group.
Apparently my Nigga Homies are dissin‘ […]

When the police execute a member of the public then sure as eggs is eggs an inevitable sequence of dishonest acts will follow: the murder victim will have his name blackened - allegations of shoplifting will be dredged up from his school day; His friends & associates will be blackened; he will be alleged […]

CharonQC sent me a link to an appalling, if remarkably common, story: the filth pushing their weight around simply because they were the cops. A member of the public was doing something he was perfectly entitled to do but to which the filth objected: he was, from his own property, filming them questioning some chavs.
They […]

Tarek Dergoul is suing the British government over complicity in his his torture at Guantanamo by America. The story is the usual one: Mr Dergoul like so many other victims of the Evil Empire’s “War on Terror” was in the wrong place at the wrong time. When the US offers a ‘no questions asked’ large […]

Lord Justice Sedley is said to be a judicial activist progressive and a rare judge in that he favours civil liberties. Nonetheless, in what can only be described as an unfortunate temporary simultaneous failure of critical thinking and common sense he has proposed that everyone in the UK be put on a DNA database.
Lifelong member […]

Geeklawyer is of the view that when people can wind up in jail for protesting outside Parliament we have sunk to the status of China or the USSR.
It is to be hoped that Gordon Brown with his civil liberties populism is doing more than just engaging in “I’m not Blair” posturing. His recent statements that […]

The decent folks of Peterborough can rest a little easier tonight. The recent spate of horrifying incidents of people wearing mildly rude t-shirts looks to be being brought under control.
Dave Pratt may be, it is hoped, the last foully attired chap in that poor benighted besieged town. The lethargic Police Community Support Officers seem finally […]
