Yesterday I got arrested whilst filming a @JustStop_Oil supporter holding a banner on the pavement near the coronation route. I'm a filmmaker and had my @BECTU press accreditation visible around my neck. Police deemed this to be "conspiracy to commit a public nuisance".

After police stopped me filming, they ripped my press pass off and handcuffed me behind my back.

Even before this protester held this banner up, myself and 4 protesters were surrounded by police and stop and searched to look for "articles to commit criminal damage". They didn't find anything.

Police proceeded to arrest us for "conspiracy to commit public nuisance" under the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022. I was held in police custody for 18 hours and "released under investigation". #coronation #juststopoil #republic #NotMyKing #monarchy #Democracy
