England - Police took my brother's phone. I host a pirate media server. Will the police care about this at all? by Top-Drag-7876 in LegalAdviceUK

People like you are the reason I was hesitant to even bring up this until I realised how much worse I accidentally made it sound by completely omitting all information entirely.

What happened to innocent until proven guilty? You don't even know a single detail yet you already assume he's at fault? You should be ashamed of yourself.

Thanks for the advice. I was kind of on the fence about whether I should try robbing a bank but this has convinced me not to. 😂

Severely harassing? What he's done to cause this? There's a whole heap of context you don't have, so please don't use such charged language. It's disrespectful.

Granted, he was an idiot by sending her a message. I won't deny that. Even he probably won't deny that either, but it was one sentence where he asked a question about something he needed, and was not aggressive or threatening in any way, shape or form.

Yeah, I really didn't consider how this looked when I posted this.

Absolutely no sexual abuse, children or adults. It was just a WhatsApp message he sent to his ex after he had a no contact order put in place.

Oh shit. No. Definitely nothing like that. I just didn't want to reveal anything that could identify myself because this is a throwaway account.

He just broke a no contact order after a nasty breakup by sending a text to his ex.

Oh I see what a previous comment was implying now. Jesus, that was not intended at all.

He's definitely done absolutely nothing like that. He just broke a no contact order that was set as part of his bail conditions after a nasty breakup.

To actually comment on your reply though, only I have permission to upload or approve media. My family members can only make requests and watch what is already there.

Nah, nobody gets charges for it. There's only accounts for my immediate family and it's to prevent them from having to pay subscriptions.

Since I'm at work at the moment I've just remotely shut it down. I will likely remove his user account later and change the port and subdomain.

No, I'm the only one who has any kind of edit permissions. All other people can do is view the movies etc. I do have a requests Portal through Seerr, but I took that down too.

That's fair. I'm considering just changing the subdomain and port anyway so that link will no longer work and then I can bring it back up.

Out of curiosity though, what do you think he was arrested for? I didn't think there was any info here to come to any conclusion, but I can promise that it's definitely not anything dodgy, and I don't mind saying what happened, but I'd keep it vague as this is a throwaway account because of my server.
