UK Meme Police Threaten U.S. Citizens With Jail

SomeGuy said:
They must have meant US citizens living in the UK....not actually US citizens in the US...right? RIGHT?! there's no way extradition would happen over shit like this.

A career police officer who's risen to the rank of commissioner of a major city will be so used to preferential treatment from the system as to assume otherwise not realizing that "I am the law respect muh authority" doesn't really work across national borders.

Didn't effect you so it must not have happened :shaking:

Being told to take it or lose your job did happen to a significant number or people, that's as forced as anything.

Alot of people out there ignored it and lost their job. Many lost their career (at least temporarily) because their entire field was vaxx mandate, and it's not like they could just get no-vaxx fired from Job A in Dallas and go get another Job A in Houston. Nurses for example.

It's the main reason myself and 1000+ employees had made plans to turn our factory into the world's largest Halloween store with over 100 acres of vacant building had our employer initiated a covid vaxx mandate.

It was all kind of a big deal, and while ignoring it worked for some it didn't work for everybody.

Yeah all that sux. But…. there are still companies that require a covid vax. Thats still not a federal mandate. Not then not now. The gov tried and failed

The odds of meme posting being serious enough? Slim to none but with the batshit crazy governments we have these days, I'm not as hopeful. It also has to go through the local judicial system and get executive sign off (secretary of state I think in your case), so maybe a couple token people get shipped over, but no way they get more than that.

Even that will have a chilling effect. Kind of like how ATF only has to murder in cold blood a few people a year for everyone else to be all uptight about the 3rd hole.

That's where the US judicial system comes into play...the UK can ask all they want but it not being criminal in the US should basically mean they'd tell the UK too bad, so sad. At least that's what I think would happen. The fact that it didn't happen in the UK probably isn't the determining factor, just like if you embezzled a billion dollars from a UK company or sent a package bomb that killed someone in the UK, where you are when the crime is committed matters less than what the US thinks is a crime.

That's my understanding too but I can see some districts being so thoroughly staffed with shitbags that everyone rubber stamps it and it happens, or comes precariously close to happening.

And it's not gonna be NYC or SF or some other place you expect. It's gonna be like some blue suburb of Nashville or somewhere in ID or AZ that the commies all move to and that has a bunch of evil lefties in power, but they're newly in power and don't really know how evil they can or can't be without risking drawing negative attention.

I've got a cousin who was forced out of the army as a major for covid vax refusal.

It was a mandate for federal employees, which is a federal mandate.

I knew it was a scam and a joke, put it off for a long while until I had to go somewhere and my choices were 2 weeks early to isolate on site for 14 days or get the shot and skip isolation. Those 2 weeks encompassed my kids birthday, so I took the time at home instead.

Didn't know it would Ultima have such a high rate of issues but I'm so far in the 90%+ of people generally unaffected outside of some hair loss and a growth on my hand, after a couple years both seem to have resolved. I also went back to keeping my head shaved :laughing:

everyone knows that hospitals run short staffed to keep profits up. They had plenty of capacity but chose not to use it. Saying over capacity is nothing more than a catch phrase to spread fear

Not to mention forcing staff to stay home after using a flawed test running at a stupid high cycle to create 50-90% false positives.

Or firing staff because they wouldn't take the jab.

INB4 the retirees who had the luxury of simply not leaving their homes or having an employer to deal with start acting like they're better than you for it. :laughing:

I hope a few of them get shot dead in the process and the person they're trying to arrest lives to see a court room. The politics of that situation would likely make for some case law that's good for the people for once.

While I understand your reasoning here, I wouldn't be too quick to judge the police officers that may not (and probably aren't likely to) know why the arrest warrant was issued in the first place. For them, it'd be the same as any other court ordered arrest warrant.

That's just one of the risks you assume when you take a job that involves doing home invasions.

You're right. The local police may have 0 idea why they're "no knocking" your home. Doesn't make you any less dead when you don't comply.

You do understand why them not knowing why and still arresting you makes it worse right?

There is an extradition treaty between the uk and us....so if someone commits a crime in the UK and is in the US, they can be arrested in the US and extradited. This has existed for forever and is between many countries...so yes, technically the UK could have the US extradite citizens to face charges in the UK.

Marijuana isn't federally legal here. Nor in Germany. Yet someone claiming citizenship here was pulled from the Gulag for breaking their laws. Be a pretty hard to justify arresting someone here AND handing them over to the BDsM Marge Simpson hats for a post, meme, etc. Yes, a lot of people will be hypocrites in regards to this comparison.

Even in the Clown World we now find ourselves in, I highly doubt the police would use a "no-knock" raid over an online Meme or video.

And whomever is actually serving the warrant has to know the charge because you do have the right to know why you are being arrested. What I meant is that "Officer Bob" isn't likely to know that the U.S. issued arrest warrant he is serving/enforcing has anything to do with an indictment by a foreign government or extradition to that country.

For the record, I am 100% against "no knock" home invasions or kidnappings. Even if the police were 100% accurate in getting the right house (which they are not) or 100% accurate in the reasoning for said "no knock" (which they are not), I would be against such a device being used against people living in the U.S. (citizen or not). If the reason for the no-knock is that they'll "run" or "fight back" then show up in force, surround the place of arrest, and then go knock on the door wearing a suit of armor.
