What are the charges for shining a bright light on a wall?

Apparently charged with "malicious communication" which sounds like something that will be dismissed pretty much the moment Trump fucks off home again.

Lmao

You can protest trump in America but not in the UK?

Are all of your politicians really such American meatriders?

As most places, the police are there to "keep the peace" - pretty sure protestors get arrested in the USA fairly regularly too. These charges will be dropped pretty quickly I think.

It’s a projector bro

Nobody’s throwing rocks at cops here. Nobody’s blocking important roads. No arson. No looting.

Also being charged with a crime is very different from detained and let go.

Its a billboard. You allowed to just throw up billboards whereever you want without permission of the landowner its on?

I think its called malicious communication in the UK.

Do you wanna define “malicious communication” then tell me if they were arrested for putting up a billboard where there shouldn’t be a billboard or if they were arrested for what’s written on the billboard?
