    Man prosecuted for posting airsoft photos on facebook

    I would really ally like to think so. Its all too easy to just keep your head down for fear of sticking it above the parapet and getting it shot off. No pun intended. But as a lifelong shotgun and firearms shooter, I have watched with despair at how the laws have been tightened, interpreted...

    Man prosecuted for posting airsoft photos on facebook

    Tbh I would like to think so, but the very real problem is that bringing a civil case to bear has to come out of my own pocket. And I just don’t have a few thousand I can lay my hands on anymore, I used to, but not now. And if I was to lose I would be libel for the cops legal and court costs...

    Man prosecuted for posting airsoft photos on facebook

    The initial charge was breach of the peace as I had allegedly caused “fear and distress to a member of the public”. When it became abundantly clear at trial that the police had lied and there was no member of the public complainant, they then desperately tried to change it to “of menacing...

    This is truly the most deeply concerning issue at the heart of the entire matter. Several other PF’s, uniform, lawyers and other judges stayed quite clearly, off the record unfortunately but understandably that the entire thing was a complete and utter farce and should never have happened let...

    Man prosecuted for posting airsoft photos on facebook

    Im more than a little concerned about my account seemingly being now live again. Seeing as I completely deactivated my account the day after the cops detained, interviewed, searched my house, confiscated 30 odd items and then charged me with a “Breach of the peace” And it’s now been brought to...

    Upgrading, uprating, improving my VFC M27

    VFC M27 HK416 GBB Rifle? So I’m still relatively new to the airsoft scene. Not new to guns but new to the airsoft stuff. I see a lot of people getting upgrades and tuning their electric guns but not so much gas. Is this the case or have I got it arse about tit? If not, what sort of upgrades...

    There had to be one didn’t there? It would appear you seem to know me or have been told the usual nonsense to suit someone’s agenda. The bottom line is that no arguments where had concerning or involving either of these pics. The comments below the pics clearly demonstrated that these were...

    It wasn’t from a group, it was my own personal account. That incidentally had all the privacy settings as right as possible, but the cops admitted that they had asked for  an “open source” request on my account.

    That’s the thing though isn’t it? Basically the truth and facts where ignored and I was targeted and treated like a known terrorist for doing nothing different from thousands of others posting similar pics daily. I used to liaise with the cops regularly for many years due to the industry I was...

    Thanks mate, the amount of stress and anxiety this has caused is nothing short of extraordinary. Its really driven a wedge between my girlfriend and I as we have been through the worst few years of our lives since 2014 already. She is only now getting a little better after her second nervous...

    Mags for Umarex VFC M27 HK416 gas?

    The two original mags I got with this gun from new, (one included obviously, and the other bought at the same time) have been nothing but grief non stop. Im lead to believe that there are new mags available, they fill from the side as opposed to the bottom like the original mags. Does anyone...

    And believe me when I say it could be any of you next. Three armed response vehicles, a police helicopter, my house searched and  30 items taken as “evidence”, including my laptop and iPhone amongst other personal items. Held for 13 hours and denied any medical care an attention. if it wasn’t...

    I have a slight inkling, but absolutely nothing at all that even comes near justifying their actions and treatment of myself.

    Man prosecuted for posting airsoft photos on facebook

     Christopher Turnbull was initially charged with breach of the peace. The Falkirk Herald ran the story for three days. Despite repeated pleas and valid arguments to drop the case the one PF that was the prosecuting counsel refused to do so. I don’t think I am being “cloak and dagger”. I just...

    Unfortunately not, although I can state it really could not be from a more reliable source. ;)

    This is entirely true. To Sue or submit a summary cause in a case like this requires that the Police be shown to have been incompetent to a certain degree. Not an easy thing to drag through a court of law. However what is really required to achieve the desired outcome of one is to pursue such...
