Explaining how it works
author of A War To Win Back Your World. pre order now !
đ¨ RESPECT ORDERS - You donât need to break the law to be criminalised in Britain. You just need to annoy the wrong person.
The government is pushing through something called a Respect Order, part of the new Crime and Policing Bill now moving through Parliament.
Respect Orders are civil, not criminal, so they donât require a jury or criminal standard of proof. Just someone saying youâre causing a nuisance, even online!
â¨If someone complains, that you're too loud, too disruptive, too opinionated, you can be banned from:
âŞď¸Posting on social media
âŞď¸Attending a protest
âŞď¸Speaking in a public place
âŞď¸Even entering certain areas
All without ever being charged with a crime. And if you break the order?â¨well ⌠thatâs a crime. You could be fined, arrested, or jailed for up to two years.
Itâs pre-crime policing and Itâs about control, not safety. Itâs a ban on dissent.
