Stuart Syvret arrested

[King Rollo]

Is the Jersey Data Protection Act the same as the UK's?

There are no custodial sentences in respect of DPA offences and no powers of arrest; all offences are punishable only by a fine. Search warrants are available to the Information Commissioner by virtue of section 50 and the powers outline at schedule 9 of the DPA.

So this would be Emma Martins, your Information Controller?

You,re problem Spud is if you wish to join the elite , you need to be an Early (My apologies to all the non jersey/ farming/ been somewhere else for 50 years folks, just a Jersey joke, I,m Sure WhiteKnight and the snail will get it..... eventually)

Since the offence is only punishable by a fine ( like the crimes commited by the JDA 2 or 3 ) then he will be out again tonight , no doubt ranting about police brutality and civil rights.
I am surprised that there is no news of thousands of people outside the Kremlin demanding the release of the idiot.

The Data Protection law in Jersey stems from a paper written by Deputy Martin Le Quesne back in the mid 80's.  I don't know if it follows the English Law, probably not.  Cherry picked maybe like a lot of other things.  You can find the relevant information here http://search.gov.je/query.html?qt=data+protection&style=NewGovJe&style=NewGovJe.

Hope the above link works.

Let’s try related charges

Trying to pervert the course of justice?

Contempt?

I am sure we could all add others

Get real the man is a Pillock or whatever the supermarkets are calling flagrant disregard for intellect

Apologies this should have read 'Deputy Sir Martin Le Quesne'

Thanks Cali, quick scan shows it is more or less the same, in that the powers under this act ONLY cover the issue of a search warrant (as per the UK link) not arrest - so SSS cannot have been arrested 'under the DPA' because no such offense exists.
If he has, then the arresting authority has just shafted his Human Rights in front of the worlds press & media.

Try other charges probably too numerous to mention.

I bet his GF Deputy Labey isnt happy that this has happened in her house, spend the night at his place next time methinks

Are we to now see the sequal to Mein Kampf seeing as he is mad and behind bars?

Strange how the attorney general can sign arrest warrants for the abuse of the data protection act but NOT for the abuse of children!

A bit personal?  In legal terms none of the above make any sense?  He hasn't been arrested under either and neither could he be.  Both are court related, although the former is usually notated as 'attempting to pervert' and can relate to jury nobbling, though more often against false statements to the police for alibi, or telling porkies under oath.

Philip Sinel the other thorn in the Establishment side is representing him - so charge him and let battle commence. What happened to Terry Le Main when he broke data protection laws, can anyone remember?

[Durendal]

If I was wrong I would apologise King Rollo but none is needed as:

Perverting the course of justice can be used to attack anyone who fabricates evidence e.g journalists. - not that the blessed SSS would ever do that- heaven forbid.

Contempt of court includes publication of material likely to prejudice a fair trial - again the Blessed SSS would not do that.

Do you really want a lesson in law?

Numpty!!!!!

You are talking to a lawyer - in both cases, only once a trial is underway.

Not very good then!!!!

To which I should have added, or a suspect has been charged with an offence (normally crimminal, but can be fiscal)
