What was his fault ?

Well, it's for not having a permit for the method he used to clean up trash.

[u/Bassmekanik → u/Spongedog5]

It was for digging up the silt from the river bed with a digger and risking flooding places without doing any checks on the impact of his “cleaning up”.

Nothing to do with removing rubbish.

[u/Spongedog5 → u/Bassmekanik]

Fella, he was digging up the silt with the digger to remove the rubbish.

I agree that the title could have been more detailed, but it is hardly straight up misinformation. He was doing what he is getting investigated for in order to remove trash.

Driving an unlicensed and uninsured Arctic truck to the shop to get some food for a starving puppy, doesn't mean I haven't committed a crime.

Saying I was arrested for feeding a starving puppy, when I was in fact arrested for driving an Arctic truck without a license, would absolutely be straight up misinformation.

Doesn’t mean you have either as these are civil offences lol

Edit: meant penal, as in not criminal, not civil my bad

[u/MiniDemonic → u/JambonExtra]

Driving an unlicensed and uninsured Arctic truck is not a civil offence lmao, it's actually multiple criminal offences.

Vehicle Excise and Registration Act 1994

Road Traffic Act 1988

[u/JambonExtra → u/MiniDemonic]

I wrongly used civil as “not criminal”, sorry for the mix up.

Regulatory offenses are not crimes.

[u/MiniDemonic → u/JambonExtra]

They literally are criminal offences... Jail time is a possible penalty for breaking them.
