Notting Hill 09:30 - Aug 27 with 733 views | SonicBoom | The 'carnival' was last weekend and there were 423 arrests. If that was football related or even a Glatonbury type festival there would be a national outcry. How come this allowed every year? I'm pretty much a leftie liberal and I have no issue with immigration or race issues but I say this purely from a public order standpoint. If the Reading festival had over 400 arrests every year it would be banned. The locals must dread it. |  | | |  |

Football related arrests are 4.2 per 100,000. Generally it seems its a small minority and the police say this years carnival was comparatively peaceful. |  |

Notting Hill on 13:53 - Aug 27 with 468 views | 1885_SFC | 2 stabbings, 70 arrests for possession of weed, 46 for possession of a offensive weapon and 44 for drug dealing. 18 sexual offences & 5 robberies. Sounds like a normal weekend in London to me - the sh1thole. |  |

How on earth they count weed as an arrestable offence these days is stupid because it is against the law. |  | |  |

If the police arrested everyone who smoked a bit of weed the legal system would collapse and the police would not be able to function. If you want everyone arrested for breaking the law then you can forget the police doing anything but fill in paperwork only for the CPS to throw it out. |  |

It is still against the law. So either change the law or accept arrest if caught. |  | |  |

Presumably you drive at 20 or 30 mph in the correct zone and always at 70 or under on the motorway. The cannabis laws are archaic and unless you are a supplier then the police won’t bother as they have better things to do. Do you think they should arrest everyone smoking a joint or in possession of a small amount for personal use ? |  |
