UK: Tommy Robinson Arrested Under Terrorism Act for Refusing to Give Cops Access to His Phone

Poor Tommy.

He never wanted to do anything but protect the Jews from a second Holocaust, and he’s gotten nothing but crap for it.

Breitbart:

British activist Tommy Robinson will miss a demonstration he was due to lead in central London tomorrow after being arrested over his failure to surrender his mobile phone to authorities under counter-terrorism laws, and is being held over a High Court injunction.

Tommy Robinson surrendered himself at a Folkstone, Kent police station on Friday afternoon, where he was arrested and charged with “failing to provide the PIN to his mobile phone under Schedule 7 of the Terrorism Act 2000”. Under the Tony Blair-era law, anyone travelling through a British port can be required to surrender electronic devices “to determine whether they may be involved or concerned in the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism.”

Per a government factsheet on the law: “If a person is being examined, they can be required to provide any information requested, including passwords and PINs to any electronic devices. They will commit an offence if they wilfully fail to comply with this requirement.”

We don’t think much of Tommy, but this is just absurd.

Everything in the UK is terrorism.

The word has lost all meaning.
