Arrest Report - AR activist arrested in his own home, some data with cops

A Friend | 06.12.2011 15:37 | Animal Liberation

People in the South West will be familiar with long time animal rights activist Peter Scott, often known as 'scotty'. Peter was at home today helping to care for his three companion dogs when he was arrested.

There is no reason to speculate here what any charges might be but other activists should be aware that Peter was working on his laptop at the time of the arrest and so some data was not protected, the police (we think illegally) were seen copying data from the computer onto a mobile hard-drive unit. The records he was working on were financial contributor lists to a number of campaigns that he has helped with together with email details that have been used in requesting donations. There is no reason to panic but people should beware of this development and consider changing emails etc.

In a blatant disregard for the feeling of the three dogs who were clearly upset and distressed at what was happening to Peter they were locked in a room for 90 minutes during the arrest however they are now staying with me and are feeling better.
