you need to stop licking tates taint
I don't care who the jackass is. I do care about idiots like you giving up your freedoms because you're too stupid to understand how the justice system is supposed to work which allows it to now work in this dystopian cluster way.
The same way that the west shits on China for. Preemptive policing.
You know how the law actually works? Assume you're being stalked. You're a woman, and some Tater Tot is creeping you out and following you in public. As long as he doesn't trespass or actually touch/assault, he's done nothing wrong. Women have attempted to sue to get restraining orders and protective orders against such creepy people and it is denied. Because that's how the law works. You cannot be presumed to be guilty of an upcoming potential offense and be punished for it. They must actually commit that offense.
People afraid of their lives, being threatened with murder, have had the police tell them there's nothing they can do until they actually attempt to kill them. That's how the law works.
To bend the law in cases for public opinon just diminishes the law entirely. Being against tyranny does not make you a supporter of a criminal.
WOW so if someone is being stalked, the stalker has done nothing wrong?! Are just trolling at this point? Stalking in and of itself is a crime, in the UK.
UK law on stalking
You seem to be arguing tate has done nothing wrong. Ignoring the ongoing investigation. There has been plenty of times, its not uncommon at all, for people to be detained due to flight risk.
In the US and Canada it is NOT a crime to be creepy. There are many cases that point this out.
You can't just apply laws to people you like it dislike depending on the outcome. That is not a democratic nation of laws. Thats an authoritarian regime. If you cannot see that, you have fallen too deep in your own propaganda.
You aren’t engaging with any point and just spouting “huurrr propaganda”
Are you suggesting that anyone under investigation with the means to leave, should just be allowed to flee the investigation?
Cool. Irrelevant. tate is in romania, and additionally being investigated in the UK.
The stalking example is barely relevant but anyway.
Stalking isn’t legal in the US
Oh look, canada too
Awesome, you've missed the point entirely. Now lookup the definition of stalking. It is NOT what a rational human would call stalking. There are very strict and rigid requirements. Which is exactly what I'm saying. You just keep proving my point.
? What point am I missing? You brought up stalking, I demonstrated that is a crime regardless of your opinion. Now it seems you want to redefine stalking without providing a definition. Your stalking example is irrelevant anyway, so lets now ignore that.
My point. Tate is a flight risk.
Your point => ???
Okie dokie friendo.
Every response has been some vague nonsense which you refuse to elaborate on, and now youre just insulting me. I hope your day is as wonderful as you are
