Last week, Caroline Farrow, a Catholic mother of five and UK director of CitizenGo, was arrested in her home for allegedly committing ‘malicious communications’ online (she strenuously denies these allegations).
Farrow’s account of the arrest—supported by cell phone photos and statements—details heavy-handed police forcing their way into her home, seizing her electronic devices, searching her, and whisking her away in a police car, all in front of her children and without a search warrant. This account is shocking, but by no means unique.
