would be classed as obstruction of an officer in their duties, and a potential animal cruelty offence – even though the dog scarer is legal – the animal cruelty laws in Britain have recently been updated and repeated use of it against a non agressive dog could easily be classed as causing uneccesary suffering..
More than likely… some lad in Oxford was done for telling a policeman that his horse was gay :laugh_at:
Finalist Arrested For Calling Police Horse ‘Gay’ – News – The Oxford Student – Official Student Newspaper
drunken Balliol third year spent a night in the cells and was fined £80 after insulting a police horse on Cornmarket Street. Brown left ‘The Cellar’ nightclub at around 2am on Monday morning with a group of friends. Two mounted policemen were passing the group when Brown is alleged to have called out: “Mate, you know your horse is gay, I hope you don’t have a problem with that.” The officers appeared to take offence at the comment and warned Brown not to repeat it.
According to eyewitnesses, Brown then reassured the first officer it was not his horse he was insulting, remarking: “No, don’t worry. Your horse is fine, it’s his horse, his horse is gay.” The policemen again cautioned Brown that his language was inappropriate before walking on. However, Brown then began to follow the pair down the street, despite attempts by his friends to restrain him.
He called out: “The horse is gay, man, what’s the problem?” “Sam was adamant his equine gaydar was accurate,” eyewitness Daniel Cooper told The Oxford Student.
