New police guidelines on how to arrest a witch

In summary, if you don’t want to be incarcerated in a re-education camp by the diversity Gestapo, don’t. Arrest a Christian instead.

From here:

Usually, police officers take a pretty dim view if they stumble upon anyone who is blindfolded, naked and tied by their hands.

But tonight is Halloween and the boys in blue have been told not to throw the spellbook at gaudy-painted witches and their rituals.

Officers have been given a 300-page ‘diversity handbook’ with a list of dos and don’ts when approaching  followers of a range of religions from atheism to Zoroastrianism.

The guidance includes a ban on touching a witch’s Book Of Shadows which contains their spells and handling their ceremonial dagger.

And the online handbook advises officers not to jump to conclusions if  they come across a bizarre pagan ritual.

It says: ‘Some ceremonies include a blindfolded , naked participant whose hands may be bound. This is in accordance with ritual and has the full consent of the participant.’

Here’s one such willing participant in pagan revelries pictured before the blindfold and handcuffs come out:

Brampton man charged with pretending to practice witchcraft

From the CBC:

Police in Brampton, Ont., say they have charged a man with fraud for pretending to practise witchcraft.

Investigators allege the suspect was taking money for witchcraft-related services at his home.

Forty-four-year-old Yogendra Pathak of Brampton has been charged with fraud under $5,000 and pretending to practise witchcraft.

It’s believed the services had been offered for more than a year, and police are asking for alleged victims or anyone with information to come forward.

While it appears to be illegal to pretend to practice real or bogus witchcraft, it is perfectly legal to really practice pretend witchcraft and to actually practice real witchcraft. The question is, why are the courts picking on only one variety of charlatan; I wonder if the perpetrator will appeal to the charter of rights.
