Breaking news on the Stockport cannabiscafe !

Police admit they raided and be-sieged the cannabiscafe unlawfully !

The GMP has admitted they were acting unlawfully in raiding the Dutch Experience cannabiscafe yesterday, hours after the founder , Colin Davies, was sentenced to 3 years in custody for several cannabis offenses.
They had the place under siege evrsince, the supporters of the caf’ set up tents around the premises. Colin Davies’ solicitor, Chris Hinett, adressed both the police and the property-owner about the unlawfull behaviour of both, in this matter. The case about the repossession of the premises, by the landlord, will only be in court on October 16, 2002, so the landlord had no right to activate the police, the police had no right to raid the place. Hinnett threatened to prosecute the landlord for causing an unlawfull arrest, Mark Davies, Colin’s brother, was arrested on suspicion of burglary yesterday, in the second illegal raid on the cannabiscafe. Mark was arrested with his pants down, he was on the toilet when the police entered the place.
The police will now have to hand over the keys to the premise to Chris Hinett, who will hand them over to a reliable person. The Dutch Experience can be re-opened then, as long as no illegal activities take place on the premises.
That means that 40+ police officers stormed a place they were not supposed to enter without the required paperwork, manhandling people, on BBC, without any authorisation.
The waste of money involved in all this, resulting in 4 arrests, none of them cannabis-related, is being paid by the taxpayer, who is going to be held responsible for this then ?

The Dutch Experience supporters are relieved, they do not have to sleep in their tents now, in the cold night…
The solicitor has to have Colin to sign a deed or so, that might stall things, but the police have pulled back as I type, already.
