Simon from We Are Change UK gets arrested for demonstrating within the SOCPA Zone in London.
The Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005 (SOCPA) was introduced into the House of Commons on 24 November 2004 and was passed by Parliament and given Royal Assent in April 2005.
The Act is controversial primarily for an additional, entirely unrelated provision, which restricts the right to demonstrate within an exclusion zone of up to one kilometre from any point in Parliament Square. Demonstrators have to apply to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police six days in advance, or if this is not reasonably practicable then no less than 24 hours in advance. No equivalent provision is made for any other Parliament in the United Kingdom.
In October 2007, the Home Office published a public consultation document, Managing Protest Around Parliament [5], which 'takes another look at sections 132-138 (of SOCPA) and explores whether there is another way to address the situation that would both uphold the right to protest while also giving police the powers they need to keep the peace'. Campaigners are worried that this document contains new threats to freedom of assembly and the right to protest in that is suggests that there could be 'harmonisation of powers to manage marches and assemblies' throughout the UK.

AnabolicMutant: a Statute is not given the force of Law by our Governed it's given the force of Law by us the minute we contract with an 'Officer'. Saighton said ''theres little point protesting''.if we dont protest now, simply because we can then 1 day soon we won't even have the right to.He wanted to be arrested to show everyone these police were criminals, he knew the Law, i doubt very much if they did anything after, i'd bet he walked away a freeman =)
yeah i spotted that,he was ilegally protesting but not unlawfully,infact the police officers we're acting in an unlawful way and were in gross neglect of duty and service and fraud against their oath,they also arrested him without first establishing joinder or consent - they are ment to be servants,they forget this all too often,imagine your cleaner telling you what to do - i think they all need to resit proper training for the job they are paid to do.
There's little point in protesting - look at the miners' strike and poll tax riots. We DON'T 'do' revolution in this country, the government know it, we're too disunited, and so no government ever has anything tangible to fear. Otherwise we could easily overpower police the army etc. But we're too busy drinking, smoking, working for slave wages and having kids to take those wages instead of making the country that we ought to have. However, we get what we deserve.
Well really you have every right to protest under the declaration of human rights as long as you do not damage public property or infringe others rigths to privacy.
Your first major mistake: you refer to statute as "law" when it is certainly not law. Statute is merely "given the force of law by the consent of the governed" (Blacks Law Dictionary, EC). A number of other mistakes there, including answering "Yes!" to the question "Do you understand?" as "understand" means "stand under" (Blacks Law). It is unlawful to enforce statutes upon a freeman who does not consent and does not fall under jurisdiction. Joinder is step 1 to falling under jurisdiction.
the plod said you are unlawfully protesting,WRONG,you might be illegally protesting but he is UNLAWFULLY HINDERING YOU FROM A LAWFUL PROTEST,double standard police.stand up to these thugs who dont even know the law or their jobs themselves
i think its to regulate the amount of people in the parliament area.. i mean if a suicide bomber were among the crowd, it could potentially devastate hundreds if not thousands of lives together with the fact the parliament buildings are at risk... but again if the police and government had not done this, and some massive group of protesters were blown to bits, i bet the first line of blame would be the police and government... i dont think they can win, and so protect themselves as well as you..
