The person who you punch may call the Police.
They may indeed. I’m 55 so maybe it’s a generation thing, but in my yoof there was no crying to the police. If you deserved a punch, you got a punch and that was the end of it.Thankfully now Police detection techniques of today avoid your era.
Shoot the messenger. Always a good strategy. Does a smashing job of drawing attention away from the actual issue.
Meanwhile, 115,000 cars a year get stolen and fewer than half are recovered.
We have sufficient police. The issue is that too many of them are pi$$ing around on cases like this.....

No, the real issue is cars that are super easy to nick. Meanwhile, 115,000 cars a year get stolen and fewer than half are recovered.

Don't leave your keys in the ignition
If you are worried about keyless car theft TAKE PRECAUTIONS. Buy a steering wheel lock etc. Take ownership of protecting your property.
Are you willing to pay more for more Police officers?
Cases like this are important. If this happened to me I'd consider it more important than someone nicking a car left running on someone's drive whilst it defrosted.
Locally at a notoriously dangerous three lane each direction traffic light junction the council have changed the traffic light camera to a speed camera as people were going through at crazy speeds with other direction traffic often turning across.
Guess what? On local Facebook group people caught are claiming it's a scam and a tax yet daily you see RTCs there. Police have better things to do than victimise innocent motorists.

Now the whole thing is over, and presumably you heard the evidence from both sides in court can you fill in some of the blanks?
What was the evidence against him?
Evidence against him was it made him feel distressed. There was nothing else I have not talked about on here.What was the evidence against him?
to sum up for anyone who doesnt want to go through 20 odd pages
Girl in to camming. Punter uploads video on to well known website.
Few months later random person in the group of friends comes across it.
Lads have a good laugh about it
My son gets told about it but to NOT tell the brother of said camming girl
He tells him but doesnt want to get directly involved so sets fake email up. and sends image as proof. Hoping the brother contacts the group of lads involved and gets it taken off site.
Brother gets email tells his mother about it. They both go to police.
Police knock on our door tracked IP
Court...
Witness statements read out saying they both felt distressed at seeing image
Prosecution say my son did it for malice, Defence say this is not true and he could not of told him without offending him.
Magistrate sums up that this is low level crime. £400 fine £40 victim compo
I dont see what anyone has gained from this. A small fine for the perp and raking it all up for the girl involved. Any chances are more people will know about it now.
If it was my sister id of gone round had a word, found out the facts, swung a punch if need be. Getting the police is just ludicrous. If you get in to camming then high chance people will video it and upload it.

No, they're not. They're a huge lump of old hairy b
ks. Video ends up on line. Some Jewish association kicks up a might stink resulting in prosecution and court.
Bloke found guilty. Judge sees it for what it is and gives him a tiny fine (almost like the police and the courts just want it done with and to go away quietly). He appeals the conviction and raises a fortune for legal expenses through crowd funding. This must have cost the tax payer a bloody fortune to prosecute and then go through appeals all because some bloke taught his dog to walk funny.
It’s not in the public interest and neither was this.
Just my opinion of course. Everyone’s entitled to one.

How are you going to find the address/sender from an anonymous email?The real lesson here is that despite the apparent anonymity of the Internet everyone is ultimately traceable. If you want to do something anonymously you need to take many steps to hide your identity. At a basic level either download Tor or use an anonymous email provider (probably both).
Honestly what a waste of police resources that was.
The girl frigged herself on cam and her brother ran to the police because he was made aware of it.
Perhaps now the plod can use the £400 to retrospectively investigate all the other more serious crimes that occurred while a whole team built this case.
