Right but surely the could have dialled 999 or something, they cant have just let an SUV drive through and think...oh well

He is soon to be Charged




Update :
Some kind of Delay now?

[Zizu]

Apparently they have a couple of hours to get a water tight case and charge him or they have to set him free without charges !!

What utter nonsense our system is .. it’s not as though he’s in custody due to heresy or rumours ..

[arista]

SkyNewsHD now states he will be charged Tomorrow
Thursday, 29th of May 2025

…I hadn’t realised that someone had been wrongly identified on social media as the driver and now fears for his family’s safety…


A man wrongly identified on social media as being the driver of a car which ploughed into crowds of people in Liverpool says he has moved his children out of their home because he fears for their safety.
Peter Cunningham, 54, had his picture circulated online after the incident on Monday, when 79 people were injured while celebrating Liverpool's Premier League victory.
Police have been granted more time to question the suspected driver of the Ford Galaxy that hit pedestrians at the parade - a 53-year-old man from West Derby in Liverpool who has not been named.
Water Street, where the incident happened, reopened on Wednesday morning. Seven people remain in a stable condition in hospital.

Peter Cunningham, from Huyton in Liverpool, told the BBC on Wednesday that he had been with his children along the parade route about four miles (6.4km) away from Water Street at the time of the incident, which he didn't find out about until he got home.
He said of the false accusations: "It's not me. I'm in work - the police need to give the [suspect's] name out because I'm getting accused.
"Family members and friends are ringing and asking me, but it could get a whole lot worse. The police need to do something.
"I was down Queens Drive with my children. I'm in a completely different car anyway, I've got a Hyundai.
"I wouldn't go into town because I knew it was too chocka to go up there with the girls."
When asked if he was fearful of an attack due to the viral post about him, Mr Cunningham said: "It can still put me at great harm, I've had to move my children to a different house today because we're that nervous."

Research by BBC Verify found the name Peter Cunningham was mentioned by a user on X on Monday evening, in response to a post enquiring about the identity of the suspect.
On Tuesday night, an Instagram post with an image of Mr Cunningham was shared by a user claiming to be based in Liverpool, along with the false claim that it was the first photo of the suspect.
This same image appears on Mr Cunningham's own Facebook profile. The Instagram post featuring Mr Cunningham's picture - which has also been shared on Facebook - has now been deleted.
The BBC's disinformation and social media correspondent Marianna Spring said false accusations about the identities of suspects can flood social media following high-profile attacks or incidents.
"The problem is exacerbated by the limitations police forces face when it comes to releasing more information about a suspect when they're yet to be charged," she said.
"Ultimately, there are few repercussions for those sharing these defamatory posts online. The impact is principally felt by the person whose reputation is dragged through the virtual mud, as worried family and friends watch on.
"And it's yet another example where some of the social media sites take little to no action over what's posted on their platforms - principally because they don't know the facts either, but also because they have relaxed their policies to deal with disinformation and abuse."

Merseyside Police said in an update on Wednesday that it had been granted more time to question the suspect following a previous extension, which will remain in place until Thursday.
Police do not ordinarily name a suspect before they are charged, and Merseyside Police have urged people not to speculate on the identity of the man in custody.
The arrest was made shortly after 18:00 BST on Monday, and police usually have 24 hours to question a suspect in custody before they have to either charge them or let them go.
People suspected of terrorism offences can be held for up to a fortnight without a charge, but police have ruled out terrorism in this case.
Det Supt Rachel Wilson said the force was making "significant progress" to establish the "full circumstances that led to what happened", with CCTV being used to track the movements of the car before it hit the crowds.
"I'm pleased to say that the number of people in hospital is reducing as they continue to recover from the awful incident," she said.
"We continue to support those still receiving treatment and, as part of our ongoing enquiries, we are identifying more people who were injured."

Then there’s a central government fund to claim off ( I think ) ..

You're driving along, you get hit by another driver, and you stop to exchange details – then it turns out they don't have car insurance. What next?

"You still have a civil claim against them, but as they have no insurance cover, there still needs to be a mechanism for compensation if they can't meet their financial obligations. So in the UK, we have the Motor Insurers' Bureau," explains Martin Smith, Motor Technical Claims Manager. "The MIB acts as a guarantee fund of last resort – if there is injury or damage and there is no insurer to pay, the MIB will meet the claim, and they will go after the perpetrator."

You can use your own insurer, or you can go straight to the MIB, and they'll act on behalf of the uninsured motorist. Usually, you won't feel an impact on your no claims discount (NCD) if you're in an accident with someone who isn't covered.

THIS is one of the really worrying and big problems with social media.
Due to the number of absolute irrational nutcases who make up part of those on social media.

…there is also the danger that because of the pressure on police to release names/details so quickly etc to appease the social media public…that it could cause legal procedures not to be followed/errors to be made and a serious offence not ending in the prosecution that it should…?…social media really is feeling like a lawless world of pitchfork mentality…
