I’m sorry but, whatever you think of him, these powers are clearly being abused.

Houston, who says he is a member of Restore Britain, has not been arrested or charged, but police confirmed his electronic devices were seized.
Not being charged with anything but still having your devices seized, is kinda BS.

It’s pretty normal if you are being investigated by the police. It’s part of policing, is it not?

It would require a warrant for police (at least here in Canada), phones contain a lot of highly personal data. Border guards have more authority but should still require some justification.
Just because he’s a dirt bag Nazi doesn’t mean we should support taking his devices and searching them, without a disclosed reason behind it.

“Police recently issued a warning about hate crime following a demonstration outside a house in the Castlemilk area of Glasgow where windows were said to have been smashed.”
No. Fuck the nazi prick who stirs the shit and gets innocent people attacked because of the colour of their skin.
