And this is just for being outside of his place of address - not holding a house party or any major breach. His girlfriend tells me he was two minutes from his home. His friend was fined £200 and released, but for some reason Becker was jailed for 4 days.

“The police are the most corrupt gang. Because they have authority they think they can get away with it.” “There’s a lot of wrong people. You could have a top judge doing wrong things.” Many (but not all) women in Glos now trust the police less.

So it’s not one of the biggest problems facings courts (*cough* BACKLOG *cough*) but it is just 1 example of how conspiracies are growing in lockdown (more desperate people + more time) and might - if a judge feels particularly irked one day - lead to people losing their liberty

To set the scene, she stood in the doorway and boomed threats of prosecuting the magistrate with the oldy-world phrases you tend to hear in LOTR ‘are you operating under your oath’ ‘I require this case discharged’ ‘for and on the record I am a woman not a corpse’ (odd but key)

Here’s the full theory (good luck) thought to have started in the US in the 80s - tied a bit to white nationalism and a lot to libertarianism - origin stories differ (great fire, huge shipwreck) but all lead to being able to opt out of laws

They could technically be jailed for contempt but rn that would mean putting harmless if misguided people in solitary confinement for 23hours a day (also there’s the backlog, prison spaces, increased risk of getting Covid, etc)
