Freeman Darren Pollard is re-arrested

Darren Pollard attended court this morning 20 July 2009, in relation to the matter of alleged breach of the peace on 11th July 2009.

When the clerk called "Mr Pollard", Darren told her that he was not Mr Pollard (legal fiction), but that his name was Darren (a human being) and that he was attending in relation to the matter indicated on their written 'invitation'.

The hearing was set for 10:30am in Court 11 where Darren had served the judge with papers, but the courts changed the court room and judge to Court 7 (with an enclosed dock), canceling out the served judge.

Darren told the court that he was not accepting these new terms and that he certainly would not be entering an enclosed pen. He told the clerk that they had 1hr to sort out this human rights violation and that he would be awaiting their response outside their place of business.

The video explains the rest, but I might add that Darren has since been refused bail and remanded in custody to Winston Green prison.

'Facial mapping' technology to catch criminals from CCTV footage on the way

"Merseyside Police are within months of setting up the country's first system that recognises suspected criminals and terrorists from CCTV footage. The 'facial mapping' scheme will enable officers to identify wanted criminals within minutes of being caught on tape.

It will compare photos from a digital mugshot database with film and stills from a crime scene and come up with around ten of the closest matches.

To build up its mugshot database, Merseyside Police – which is running the pilot scheme along with Lancashire Police and West Yorkshire Police – is taking digital photographs of 70,000 suspects arrested in Liverpool every year.

These include those accused of minor crimes such as motoring offences and the images will be retained even if they are not charged with any offence."

Charity bike ride to Wigan

A group of lads from Parbrook Road in Huyton took part in a sponsored bike ride to Wigan today in support of a neighbour in need. They planned to ride the 16 miles from Huyton to the JJB stadium in Wigan.

After a 3 hour ride, the lads succesfully accomplished their feat, but not without a mishap or two along the way.

Here's a short clip of one of the lads taking a nasty tumble.

Unlawfully Arrested by the Matrix - Part 1

On the evening of Wed 27th May 2009 at 7.30pm, I was travelling in my fully insured, taxed and MOT'd car to my house, having just picked up my friend who lives about a mile from me. We were intending to watch the Champions League Final between Man Utd and Barcelona.

I had already noticed a convoy of Police vehicles patrolling the area on my way to my friends house, and on our way back to my house we were suddenly surrounded by three Police vehicles at a junction and signalled to pull over.

I drove across the junction and pulled onto the left, and Police vehicle stopped behind me and a Matrix minbus pulled up in front. I switched off my engine, undid my seatbelt, got out of my car and stepped onto the pavement to ask an Officer why I had been stopped by three Police vehicles, as we were simply going home to watch the match which kicked off in less than ten minutes and we had not been observed or had we been breaking the law.

An Officer(PC Mark Andrew Gibbs 1039) replied, "We don't need a reason, we can pull anyone, anytime, We are the Police." Another Officer (Sgt Charlie Tennant 1122) approached me and asked what my name was, I replied that I shouldn't have to give my name yet, as I have not been told the reason for the stop.

This Officer then grabbed hold of both my wrists, dragged me to the Matrix van and assaulted me by pushing me inside the vehicle. I was then threatened with violence by both Officers, who informed me in no uncertain terms "not to mess with them".

As I was concerned that I was going to be further physically assaulted, I proceeded to give them my details and I informed them of the fact that I had never been in trouble with the Police in my life, but I was not believed. I was then bundled into a Police carrier, made to sit on the floor, handcuffed, whilst these two officers and another two (namely PC Joanne Kelly 2782 and PC Jason Jones 5899) continued to behave abusive and threatening, attempting to provoke me and treating me with absolute disrespect.

My car was left unlocked where I'd been stopped and I was then handcuffed and driven 5 miles away, being threatened all the way, without being told the reason for my detainment, taken to a Police station, where I was denied a phone call to my family, stripped searched, fingerprinted, eye scanned, face scanned and DNA taken, all without my consent and locked in a cell for five hours, all for asking why I had been stopped.

After all this, I was then given a notice reqesting that I pay £80 or come to a court and "defend" "my" disorderly behaviour, and left to make my own way home from 5 miles away.

Visited the Zanzibar tonight in Liverpool City Centre, to see a presentation from Lawful Rebel John Harris. It was a really enjoyable night, great music from a number of excellent bands and a really friendly atmosphere.

John's presentation was extremely eye opening and informative, he's a truly inspirational fellow.

Here's five minutes of wisdom from John videoed from my mobile phone.
