Hertfordshire Police officers 'lacked understanding' of the media's role before arresting journalists at M25 Just Stop Oil protest, according to an independent review. And according to the report, two police officers involved in arresting the journalists had not completed their mandatory media training.
Hertfordshire Constabulary’s chief constable Charlie Hall has received the review by an independent force into the arrests of journalists near the M25 motorway on Monday, November 7 and Tuesday, November 8.
Chief Superintendent Jon Hutchinson, of Cambridgeshire Constabulary, carried out the review which found that a total four members of the press were arrested – with one spending 877 minutes (14 hours, 37 minutes) in custody, Herts Live has reported.
