Today I will be sharing the full details of my arrest by Essex Police.

They have now settled out of court after I made a claim against them for false imprisonment and battery.

Strap in, because the abuse of power by police will knock your socks off. ..

🧵> In 2023 I made a complaint about a @metpoliceuk officer, DC Joanne Farrell after she was tweeting lies about me, and being abusive to members of the public.

I tweeted about my complaint, and named her in my tweets.

I wrote nothing abusive or threatening.

@MerseyPolice have now confirmed that they have received a complaint about this officer, who called someone ‘a bit noncey’ because they were filming in public.

What is going on with police officers embarrassing themselves on social media at the moment?

I’ve decided to share my experience of being spiked by three male police officers. It’s something I have held inside for a long time, it’s something I have doubted and questioned myself about, it’s something I have no evidence of. But I know it happened. I lived it .. 1of One of the reasons I’ve held back all this time is the fear of not being believed. I get a lot of trolling from #policetwitter and I know they’ll accuse me of making this up ‘for attention’ But I don’t care anymore, people need to know the truth about what it is like to be… 2of

I’m about to share the words of a female police officer. I am not naming her force to protect her anonymity. Her story needs urgent investigation and it is bravery like hers that will one day lead to the elimination of misogyny within UK police forces. TW: sexual harassment. This will be a thread, in her words, sent to me in confidence. Please read her story and share, and help me call for a statutory enquiry into the misogynistic cultures that still exist within *all* UK police forces. Here is her story….
