WHAT THE FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK?

So an old woman points out to an officer that prayers in a certain park are not allowed. The officer refuses to enforce the law. The next morning, police show up at her door and arrest her.

An officer cannot be obstructed where he is executing his duties and obstructing an officer in the execution of his duty is a criminal offence. The best strategy is doing what's told when you're approached by an officer and don't argue with him. The elderly woman kept annoying the police officer with her lengthy argument about the Muslim prayer in the park and she interfered with the police officer engaged in his duty. She was treated kindly because of her gender but a man could have been detained on the spot like common thieves.

So that would be just normal in Russia, huh? I don't see how dragging her out of her apartment and putting her through legal proceedings would make any sense in any real lawful country.

Americans really need to get it thought their skulls that there is no such thing as freedom of speech in the UK and there never has been, the UK is not the USA. Normal people avoid the police whenever it is possible with good reason. I can't imagine why anyone would go up to copper and actually talk to him. :eh: What did she expect?
