relation to West Yorkshire Police and complaints made about their inaction.
Also
"Complaints have been made to the police, the Home Office and on the floor
of Parliament but absolutely nothing has been done. Two years ago the Home
Office claimed that there was nothing the British authorities could do
because the sites were hosted in the US and so were not only outside British
jurisdiction but even allowed under the First Amendment of the US
Constitution which protects freedom of speech.
Searchlight never fell for this total nonsense. Yes, the site was hosted by
servers in the United States but the material and the people behind the site
came from Britain. The crimes were committed here.
It is also debatable whether the US Constitution would protect such sites.
Lawyers in the US confirm that there is no freedom to intimidate, harass and
commit violence against individuals."
