Whatever you may think about the law and the legal system in this jurisdiction (and there are undoubtedly many issues as this thread will attest to), this kind of thing is truly mind-boggling

I wonder if any Lando Norris fans will now set up fake Max Verstappen profiles, in order to give bad reviews to the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and circuit?

Dead link.

It might be crashing/swamped. Mate sent it to me an hour ago: interactive screen captures (click photo to give info!) from security cameras from the November 2023 riot.

Ah right, saw an article about that earlier. I don't expect much to come of it, I imagine it's best forgotten about in the relevant circles.

Not sure I know what you mean. I found the publishing of the photos doubly interesting. First, I think the Irish legal system will be aiming to make examples of these folk, potentially up to a similar extent as was seen in England recently. Second, how "user friendly" they've made it to submit info is also quite an interesting development, but also made me think, third, about implications for the floated facial recognition legislation, as in I wouldn't be surprised to see this very public call transformed into a lobbying tool in a kind of "We wouldn't even need to ask for the public's help if.." way. Feicfimid!

I'd have thought it'd be an unwelcome reminder of how ineptly it was dealt with, particularly in the run up to an election.

I love the way they're described as "persons of interest" for further consideration to rule in or out of their investigations, and yet they're invariably shown stacked with stolen goods or trespassing   

I see yer man being done for burning cop cars etc claimed he wasn't thinking but was there to support the victims - how does that compute in his head??

Pity more warning shots didn't connect with the absolute scum of the earth.

I just see this now while searching for that article I saw yesterday:

You'd know from the photo Colman was no angel so it shouldn't be surprising to see he has assault and theft priors. So besides this background you can fully understand why Phelan felt under threat when the trespassers continuously ignored the shouts to retreat.

Now that it's out there, FFG may try to ignore it, but even if they do that they may be forced to broach it. If it's broached, they'll have to spin it. In that scenario, it'll be interesting to see how they spin it and whether the facial recognition legislation is roped into that spin.

Maybe a little digital ID would be helpful in this situation

Such a loss. My heart bleeds. Anyone that dies that to animals should be shot.

If this isn't nipped in the bud now we could end up with whole battalions of scumbags with dogs running around the countryside ripping foxes to shreds.
