The emails are not what the police claimed, and now someone’s arrested for the crime of sending out too many emails?
I had no idea who Peter Kyle was until this morning. I’ve now seen two posts about him and I can safely conclude he should be nowhere near public office.
It sounds like the police were way, way out of line. It certainly shouldn’t be a police matter, and I don’t think you have a duty to always be polite in the face of injustice.
I have to say though, after reading this bit “It was — like all the others to follow, all of which I have seen — polite” and then reading some of the emails, I would hate to receive one of her rude emails!
It doesn’t make me trust the author of the piece 100%
I appreciate that it isn’t how the law is written, but I really do think that unless the messages are directly threatening, the initial police response to harassing, alarming or malicious emails should be “well, you’ve got a block button, haven’t you?”.
A heavy-handed pre-dawn arrest of a woman for sending emails they don’t like, it’s absolutely outrageous.
As I posted on another thread, just to be clear and from what I got from the article, criticism toward Kyle for this seems to be only for not firing the actual person who called the police which was someone who works for him (Chris Henry) but not acting on his instructions.
I’m happy to be shown I’m wrong but my only source is this article, and it didn’t seem to me that Kyle actually triggered or requested anything. But you may well criticise not then firing that person immediately.
