Protect the environment... by disabling police cars!
Discussion
Now, if this was someone planting stingers outside a 4x4 dealership, I could see how this could be construed as an environmental protest.
But what kind of f
king special mental does it take to justify, in your mind, planting stingers in front of police cars answering emergency calls?!
Put the moron in a nice padded cell and throw away the key! Tell her she can subsist on whatever organic fungi she can cultivate in her unwashed clothes....

Eco-warrior planted homemade 'stingers' that took out THREE police cars as they answered emergency calls on New Year's Eve
- Emma Sheppard is a known environmental activist in and around Bristol
- She hammered nails into plywood to make three homemade 'stinger' traps
- Sheppard placed them outside a Bristol police station on New Year's Eve
- The traps punctured the tyres of three patrol cars responding to call outs
- Conviction is the first for a police team set-up to combat anarchist crimes
An environmental activist that used nail filled pieces of plywood to put three police cars responding to emergency calls out of action, is likely to be jailed.
Emma Sheppard positioned three of the homemade traps outside a police station near Bristol on New Year's Eve, which led to the police vehicles' tyres being punctured. The devices were similar to those used by police to stop suspect's cars.
The 33-year-old appeared at the Bristol Crown Court yesterday via video-link from Eastwood Park prison in Gloucestershire and admitted damaging the vehicles.
Judge Martin Piction told Sheppard she would inevitable be jailed and said he would consider public protection issues when sentencing her next month. He then remanded her in custody.
Sheppard, who is from Easton, in Bristol, is well known within green activist circles.
The court heard that Sheppard, of no fixed abode, put the devices outside a police divisional HQ in Emersons Green, Bristol.
Detective Chief Inspector Andy Bevan said the 'stinger' devices rendered the police vehicles 'unusable on what is traditionally one of the busiest nights of the year'.
He said Sheppard placed the devices on the road, 'knowing full well what the consequences could be. They posed a serious risk to our police officers as well as other road users and formed part of a reckless and dangerous plan.'
Sheppard’s conviction is the first by detectives from Avon and Somerset's police's Operation Rhone. A squad was formed in December after police linked more than 100 arson and vandalism attacks on establishment targets that had occurred in and around Bristol and Bath during the last four years.
