This is probably one of the most bizarre things that I’ve seen in a while. To be so close on the heels of all the riots it would appear that the police are just a weeeeeeee bit trigger happy.
From Guardian:
A man will appear before magistrates in September for attempting to organise a citywide water fight on his mobile phone.
The 20-year-old from Colchester, south-east England, was arrested on Friday after Essex police discovered the plans circulating on the BlackBerry Messenger service and Facebook.
The unnamed man has been charged with “encouraging or assisting in the commission of an offence” under the 2007 Serious Crime Act, police said.
Essex police…give your heads a shake.

How long until these are considered banned “weapons”?
