You can be arrested and thrown in jail…

For projecting a photograph of Donald Trump and a convicted sex offender onto the side of Windsor Castle.

Curious to know what laws have actually been broken here. That photo is readily available in the public domain and isn’t in any way offensive or malicious.

It's private property.

Charlie must have called in the plod.

I presume it was Led By Donkeys who were doing the video projection here. As most will know they've been doing this for years, but I don't recall any of them being arrested for their video projections previously (I could be wrong). They did get arrested for putting up an anti-Gaza obliteration banner outside Labour's HQ in August.

It seems different standards are being applied because it's Trump, presumably because the UK Govt wishes to be seen to be bending over backwards to appease him at every turn. The public licking of his shoes will no doubt be a main event later.

I was struggling to figure out what laws were broken but apparently, according to a quick google.

projecting an image onto someone else's property constitutes as Trespassing if you do not have permission of the property owner and/or relevant authority.

Then there is - Public order act as the image was intended to cause harassment/distress to others.

And finally Planning Laws & Ordinance laws as they projected onto a Heritage site.

Makes you wonder how South Park 'get away' with it. So they should, their Trump/Devil storyline is bloody comedy gold.

Trespassing is a civil offense isn't it?

Their last episode was half an hour of people saying “Donald Trump is fucking Satan” and it never got old.

It is, however im sure they will have a loop hole to make it so they had "Aggrivated or Criminal Intent" to make it a criminal matter

They'll have made a show of arresting people to placate Trump but suspect they'll be quietly released without any further punishment.

The tiny penis schtick is juvenile, basic, but hilarious. Every time he appears on screen and you see his tiny cock, I laugh.
