This happens *all the time*. Cops do what they want and it doesn't even occur to them that they might need a legal basis for their actions until they're actively challenged - and even then they carry on regardless.
When police surrounded her and asked her to put the sign down she asked them what legislation they were relying on. She said she was told officers were finding out the answer, but was not given an explanation and was arrested, searched, bundled into a police van and taken to Bromley police station.

#ACABDay #ACAB
The 12 days of ACAB: 1) No comment is the safest answer to police quesstions. 2) You don't need to give personal details under any stop and search powers. 3) Ask 'Under What Power?' to challenge the police to act lawfully. 4) If arrested, use a recommended solicitor with protest experience. 5) Don't accept a caution without specific legal advice. 6) Don't talk to police liasion officers - they are gathering intelligence on you! 7) Carry a bustcard with key advice and legal support numbers 8) look out for legal observers - they're thre to support you. 9) Get advice - call the GBC protest support line on 07946541511 10) Security = Solidarity. Fight back against police surveillance! 11) Wear a mask to protect your health and privacy. 12) Police station and court support means no one faces the state alone - don't leave your friends behind!
