Freedom of speech and protest

Photography in court
Section 41 Criminal Justice Act 1925 (CJA 1925) makes it an offence to take any photograph, make or attempt to make any portrait or sketch of a justice or a witness in, or a party to, any proceedings before the court, either in the courtroom or its precincts. The penalty on summary conviction is a fine not exceeding level 3 on the standard scale. The Attorney General's consent is not required.

The offence at s41 CJA 1925 can be charged


Ok can't even sketch.
I don't even want to cherry pick bits out of the legal stuff there as I would probably apply it wrong.

Huh ?

So all the MSM filming Pell arriving at or leaving the court are in contempt ?

Weird.
 
The media reports on trials all the time, but professional outlets do so in a way that doesn’t influence public or the jury opinion of the defendants.

“There is a defence available to publishers (which includes newspapers, TV and social media users) who can show they were providing “a fair and accurate report of legal proceedings held in public, published contemporaneously and in good faith”, thus giving some latitude to the press and ensuring that the media do not shy away from accurate, factual reporting of criminal proceedings,” says the Secret Barrister.

A bit more on the media.

Just my view...

They are wasting their time. The lunatics are in charge of the asylum and it's going to take more than conservatives to turn it around......... it will take the marxists waking up to the vandalism they have rort on western civilisation .... China rules here we come.
Well the conservatives are trying. Mobs are getting larger and larger in London.

I don't like what they did to Tommy. But surely someone could have told him don't film.

It is obvious to me that Robinson knew he would be arrested and probably imprisoned. This would help him make the step up from mere "poster boy" to "martyr" of the lynch mob.

The only lynch mob is the British establishment, it pains me to say.

Supporters of Tommy and free speech are mostly ordinary middle and working class folk, endowed with intelligence and common sense worried about what is happening to their country
