Think most of them get snapped up by RAF Luton

Do all arrests for conspiracy to commit an offence require precog information, or just these ones?

They don't need a psychic ability to undertake electronic surveillance.

Thanks Captain obvious, its shame when the narrow minded in here prefer to let their opinions of others posters cloud there reading perception in their haste to make quick dig
My statement was simply an expression of a possibe direction that such pre-emptive tactics could go, probably not obvious enough for the likes of you

we're not privy to the intelligence that's behind these charges but people with long memories will recall that cops have been known to knock on doors in advance of protests to warn people off what they were planning, if memory serves this happened round the time of the g20 in 2009.

WTF?

As PM has pointed out above this sort of thing has been going on for years, the fact that you seem to think is something new is not my problem.

Also back to the 1984-85 miners' strike with pickets being nicked in Kent before heading up to Notts.

Might've been Royal Wedding, iirc one of the things I have a grudge against Chris Knight for is that he gave one of those interviews to the media saying "we're going to have the best protests against the Royal Wedding ever and it's going to be really cool and disruptive" and then a few days later people were getting their doors put in. I definitely used to know a guy who'd get letters through the door from Yorkshire coppers before EDL marches telling him to stay away (he was with the opposition, not the EDL, obv).

Standard tactic for the old Bill for years. Locking up people before protests.

Of course, actually successfully investigating once criminal offences have actually occurred is getting rarer…

Yeah, Hampshire locked this character up on the morning of Charlie’s first wedding….
