Charged with Section 4 Words/Behaviour - Fear unlawful violence
1 Answers
Ok I have a few short questions,I'v just come out of court and been given a court date for the trial
Ok here's a quick background of what's happened..
Basically playing a football match it turned nasty and all kicked off,i was arrested on a gbh section 18 charge... due to no evidence and my side of the story they gave me a nfa for that allegation.
Now i have been charged with a section 4...Here's where i'm confused.If there wasnt enough evidence to prosecute me for gbh (no cctv,no unbiased witnesses etc)why do they think they have enough evidence to charge me on a section 4.I mean in my statement the only thing i mentioned was i told them to "flump off" while they was punching and kicking one of my team mates on the floor... is this deemed as an offence?
Also i was told this is a small offence,however the judge didn't seem to see it that way,they mentioned that its serious because it lead to an assult,in which i said i didnt commit any assult nor did i threaten anybody...so also what id like to no is the gbh charge has been dropped and i got a nfa,so they can't try to start bringing that side of the story again can they? as this is a different allegation ?
Another thing...i read this can lead to a custodial sentence,im worried about this but most friend's say this is a small thing and il probs if found guilty ( i pleaded not guilty) is a fine or community service.So do you think i should have a solicitor represent me or just represent myself?
Lastly my finger prints etc.. when i was arrested for the gbh charge i had to give my prints etc..as i was given an nfa for this allegation am i not allowed to ask for my details be removed? or do they keep them because of the section 4 charge?
If anyone can answer the above id be greatful,cheers

in your earlier thread you said you punched someone on the nose. Is that what led to this charge?
