Daily Mail helps out the government by telling its readers a massive lie

‘The Daily Mail would like you to believe rioters are walking free from court for refusing to give their names and addresses. They claim there has been a “mockery of justice” as the “riot suspects” were released.

However, the only mockery taking place is one of journalism.

The three people were among 50 arrested on the Million Mask march in November. And whilst the photos in the Mail show there was damage caused and clashes with the police, the people in question were not arrested for rioting or criminal damage, they were arrested under Section 50 of the Police Reform Act.

Section 50 gives the police the power to arrest someone if they refuse to give their name and address to the police, if the police have a reasonable suspicion they have committed antisocial behaviour. Whilst it is a criminal offence not to comply, it is only punishable by a fine – no custodial sentence can be given.’
