Knowing this to well.. Stalked for two years - arrived at court Airport style security. Start off tge stalker stood 6ft away at check in. The court system is absolute crazy. Stuck in a room for half an hour. (Victim should know who the person is) Plenty of things that have gone wrong in this case. Stalking protection order should be improved! It doesn’t even stop the stalkier from a prison call… “A stalking order” from contacting the victim prison. Shouldn’t of happened. The stalkers identity should not be hidden.. Some police force hide their identity from the victim- what is going on.!! The guidance is not clear.. Where is the safeguarding in this case. It should be made crystal clear in legislation that victims have the right to know! Greater protection for victims . Politics can change things for the better. #stalking #guidelines #safeguardingvictims

While the actions of the involved parties in staging a fake crime for publicity were certainly unethical and deserving of consequences, the severity of those consequences should be proportionate to the actual harm caused. In this case, since no one called the police or filed a police report, it could be argued that the incident did not directly impact law enforcement resources or public safety in the same way a genuine crime would. Punishing the individuals involved with months in jail seems excessive, especially considering that their actions were driven by a desire to increase radio audience and social media followers rather than malicious intent to cause harm. Additionally, the fact that the police initiated the investigation based on the viral nature of the video, rather than responding to a report of a crime, suggests that the incident was not perceived as a significant threat to public safety. A more appropriate course of action could have been to impose fines or other penalties that reflect the seriousness of the offense without unnecessarily burdening the criminal justice system with lengthy court proceedings and incarceration. This approach would still hold the involved parties accountable for their actions while avoiding the imposition of disproportionate consequences.

The Government recently announced that new measures will be put in police for a stronger protection for victims of harassment and stalking. Stalking is a complex form of abuse that can have devastating consequences for victims and their families. Under new guidance, police officers will no longer need to meet a higher criminal standard of proof threshold in order for someone to apply for a stalking protection order. Stalking protection orders were introduced in January 2020 and protect victims by addressing the perpetrator’s behaviours before they become entrenched or become more severe. Perpetrators of SPO’s can face restrictions such as having to notify the police of their whereabouts or travel. If breached, an individual could face up to 5 years in prison. This new guidance will be vital for those that are victims of these types of offences as it means that it will be easier to obtain these Orders and will be hopeful in deterring those of committing these types of crimes.

Reposting this to highlight the serious and far-reaching impacts when women are remanded in custody. The consequences of remanding our wahine in custody don't just affect the individual but ripple out to their families, children, and entire communities, perpetuating cycles of poverty, trauma, and marginalisation. Addressing systemic inequities in the justice system, alongside the underlying factors such as mental health, socioeconomic disadvantage, and gendered violence is essential to breaking these cycles, creating stronger communities and a more just justice system.

Charged with assault or battery in Florida? Here’s a quick look at the potential consequences: ➡️ Assault: This is the threat of harm without physical contact. A simple assault charge could result in up to 60 days in jail and a fine up to $500. Aggravated assault (involving a weapon or intent to cause serious harm) can lead to up to 5 years in prison. ➡️ Battery: This involves actual physical contact. A simple battery charge could mean up to 1 year in jail. However, aggravated battery (causing serious injury or using a weapon) could result in up to 15 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Both charges have lasting impacts, including a criminal record that can affect your future employment and housing. If you’re facing these charges, it’s essential to have a strong defense. https://lnkd.in/dJeC_DT #tampa #tampabay #sarasota

Identification parade*--- 2021 SCMR 92. A Unique judgement on identification parade in favour of prosecution. Test identification parade---Venue--- Whether a police station was an appropriate place holding a test identification parade--- The law did not designate any specific place to undertake the exercise of test identification parade---Combined reading of R. 26.32 of the Police Rules, 1934 with Art. 22 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984, did not restrict the prosecution to necessarily undertake the exercise of test identification parade within the jail precincts. Test identification parade-- ---Omission of assailants' features in the crime report---Whether such omission was a ground to discard the test identification parade-- Part C of the High Court (Lahore) Rules and Orders Volume-III did not stipulate any such condition---In the natural course of events, in an extreme crisis situation, encountered all of a sudden, even by a prudent onlooker with average nerves, it would be rather unrealistic to expect meticulously comprehensive recollection of minute details of the episode or photographic description of events or the assailants---Broad identification of the assailants, in the absence of any apparent malice or motive to substitute them with the actual offenders, was sufficient to qualify the requirement of Art. 22 of the Qanun-e-Shahadat, 1984.
