Re: Police to get tough on internet trolls.
I got pulled in to have a chat with the police over a facebook comment about travellers, it had been reported a couple of times in the local paper about travellers coming back to the same site in a short period of time.
Despite comments like "do what the french do" and "put landmines down" it seems my comment with chase them off with a flame thrower didn't go down so well with a "traveller charity" who reported my comment to the police.
Who actually acted on it and pulled me in for an interview about it. gave me a telling off and said I could go and mind what I say infuture as they register me on the local database.
Seems the other comments he had a copy of didn't matter "2 wrongs don't make a right" he said.
I just said right seen as you've wasted my time I'll report every comment I find offensive and expect you to act on it.
