I hope they do sue the plod for false arrest, and win big time. If I was on the jury I'd certainly find grounds to squeeze the cops till they squeal.

So you have read the texts then. What did they say? And why were the couple previously banned from the school grounds? And why did the school feel it was necessary to seek police help?

You seem to know all about it if you think there's a claim for false arrest and that compensation should be "big".

So share with us mere mortals who don't have this information please.

Not enough, damage done, they should also be awarded compensation.

 

Police chief criticises force after parents arrested for complaining about daughter's school in WhatsApp group

Jonathan Ash-Edwards, the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hertfordshire, said the force should never have been involved in the first place.

“There has clearly been a fundamental breakdown in relationships between a school and parents that shouldn’t have become a police matter,” he said in a statement today.

It would certainly appear that both the UK and the US are heading towards fascism, it's just a matter of time if things go the way they're going right now. Free speech is seemingly gone from the face of those two countries. 

 

If you're a Brit or an American be very careful what you post online, it's very likely that Trump has beefed up surveillance on Americans and he seems to be completely intolerant of disobedience and disrespect. Since the FBI is run by an incompetent sycophant, anything likely goes if the new king wants it they way.
