The arrest of #LBC reporter #CharlotteLynch this morning by #HertfordshirePolice is absolutely reprehensible. Keeping her locked in a cell for 5 hours... beyond belief.
Has the #UK become a #PoliceState?
Heads need to roll...

It is worrying that a card carrying journalist #CharlotteLynch, working for #LBC can be arrested for merely covering a #JustStopOil protest.
If the #press aren't free from police interference, then our democracy is in a worse place as a consequence.
Yes, sometimes mistakes are made, some mistakes have unintended consequences.
#Hertfordshire #police, in acting like US police, risk further damaging the public's already fragile trust in the police as an institution.
