The guy who jumped on my da's foot and leg, disabling him permanently,
got 40 hours community service.

My da got an Ilizarov frame, permanent pain and a limp, and a Blue Badge.

And for having one leg that looks part cyborg?
Seriously though, that's fucking appalling. Not to seem slightly unbalanced or anything, but had it been me in your dad's position I would have waited for that cunt and broken BOTH his legs.

But how would you have felt
If the key evidence in the case of your father had been encrypted CCTV film and someone was denying the police access to it?

Was the CCTV guy being accused of the crime?

Possibly, possibly not. But they would be obstructing justice either way.

But in the case from the OP, it's about the right to remain silence, thus not implicating yourself -
a right that RIPA seems to overrule

Fair point, I had gone off track there.
Now, do you want one of these smart new "I heart RIPA" promotional hoodies sending or not? They're lovely quality

I'd first ask why the fuck they had cameras up in the first place
We've far too many of them in this country.
