This feels wildly overblown. “Police visit person to tell them not to do the thing they seemed like they were doing, person agrees not to”
This feels wildly overblown.
Oh, but this story’s got it all, no matter who you are there’s an archetype in here that will annoy you
It follows a complaint by the Bradgate Park Trust, which runs the park, that Mrs Gather picked mushrooms illegally because it is a designated site of special scientific interest (SSSI).
…
Mrs Gather, from Derby, revealed details of the community resolution order on TikTok this week.
…
However, police have subsequently admitted that the order was not valid because the officer dealing with the case mistakenly got her husband to sign the agreement, rather than her.
…
According to Leicestershire Police, the complainant said it was reported Mrs Gather had a small knife, which meant they did not feel able to approach her.
I guess some people have nothing better to do than to make their business other people’s business. A gal with an interest in mycology isn’t a threat, and if she was, maybe it’s because the mushroom in question had Common Side Effects.
She was there, with a foraging basket, and a knife to cut mushrooms, and was specifically looking for those inkcaps, but she totally didn’t forage any on that day from that park.
That seems more than just an interest in mycology. And if the park is a protected area, they are right to enforce it.
She could have just easily been a contract killer with a silenced uzi there to murder her target and put their head in the basket as confirmation of the kill. If youre going to accuse people of crimes based purley on circumstantial evidence you might as well go big right?
They showed up because of a witness report and did not attempt to convict her. A “remember not to do this for this reason” is an appropriate response to the (circumstantial) evidence
Welp, sounds like he said she said at this point. But she was there with a foraging basket and knife, and asked people if they had seen those mushrooms, said it was on her bucket list. She was definitely there to pick them lol.
She has the surname “Gather” and looks exactly like the kind of person I’d imagine picks mushrooms. Nominative Determinism strikes again!
UK police having their priorities straight. London is a rat trap.
