Richard Fuller W177, a sergeant with the Wiltshire Constabulary was summoned to appear at Chippenham Magistrates' Court on Thurs 21st July to answer an allegation of assault.
Richard Fuller did not appear and a "Not Guilty" plea was entered in his absence. The case was adjourned until 7th Sept and Richard Fuller was ordered to appear in person on that date.
From what I recall, the news article that was on thisiswiltshire said that part of his bail conditions was not to use NNTP. This is why we have not heard from him for a while. I think one of the reasons for his arrest was threatenting behaviour on a newsgroup. Perhaps someone could correct me where I am mistaken.
Well if threatening behaviour is a reason to get oneself banned from a NG then I think somewhere around 40-60% of the posters in this group will soon be absent. Take your point though.
why on earth would the police arestn osmeone over posts on a newsgroup
harrasment is private posts to individual members on a newshgoup however distatesful it is i was under the impression the worse you could is report him to his isp
but at end of day its a free intenet news service i dont reallyn think police involvement is requred
and thats me speaking as someone who has regularly been abused on this sdort of group with all sorts of names and insults thrown at me,sure i dont like it but i am hardly likely to get police invloved thats just a bit childish
you just dont read thsat persons posts thats all,if he then contiues to do things to your pirvate emaiol than ok maybe but if not then just get on.
