Yeah, but it's being increasingly used to disrupt peaceful protest groups.

And in terms of actual harm - it's theft. The crime the police guidance says "don't turn up".

I guess we could embed undercover officers dressed as protestors to stop this? Maybe get a few of the protestors pregnant whilst we're at it?

It's a lot of expense to police protest groups for crime we don't care about if it wasn't for the fact it's linked to protest...

I actually have no frame of reference about how expensive this kind of thing is to police (relative to other police work); since they pretty much gave themselves away, I suspect not actually that much. And that's also part of the problem; if the police didn't pursue it and then were shown to have known but not acted, they'd be getting a kicking for that instead.

There's nothing in the article that said they've given themselves up - no mention of how tgey've coordinated or organised - so the assumption that they're discissing criminal actions in public on social media is a big assumption here...
