For some reason, the headings in this article are not being put in a Table of Contents. Anyone know why? -- Cabalamat 14:26, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Also, I'd like to put the quote from the Act (where it defines terrorism) in a box. I've seen this elsewhere on wikipedia but can't find code to do it; can someone help? -- Cabalamat 14:26, 28 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Is it worth pointing out that this definition of terrorism does not specify that the terrorist be a non-state actor? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.163.90.208 ( talk) 08:50, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
I've added the main list of groups from [1] and some details about what it takes to get on the list. I was unsure if the 14 groups of Northern Ireland should be listed here as well (see link). Also, the legislation says that the "Secretary of State" may modify the list. I was unsure if this meant the Home Secretary or Foreign Secretary. Forgive an ignorant Yank. Thanks. -- ChrisRuvolo 00:29, 30 Oct 2004 (UTC)
The BBC are reporting here that 15 more groups are to be added:
I've dug around and linked them to the relevant articles on Wiki where I think they tally. It's not immediately obvious, so corrections welcome! When the Home Secretary confirms it we can just cut and paste to the main article. Sapient 18:14, 10 October 2005 (UTC)
"Under this giving training in the construction of explosives is an offence thus making showing the chemical data avaible on this page [a link to the page on C-4, the explosive] illegal."
This seems like a wholely political statement that infers an opinion on the badness (for lack of a better term of this law. Anyone else concur? -- cuiusquemodi 08:13, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
Yes I agree. Anyway, it is not, strictly speaking, legally accurate, since there is a defence which arguably might excuse the provision of the chemical data linked to. I have included reference to the defence and removed the pt linking to the chemical data. There are loads of things which might be caught by the Act on wikipedia, and elsewhere on the internet. It makes little point in the context of the this article to link to one, and to state as a fact that it is illegal, since it may not be. -- Diranh 28 March 2006
I've replaced the 11/08/06 stats with some released today. Previous paragraph is below if anyone wants to put it back; but I didn't think it added anything to have both sets of data, since one is included in the other.
"The police said in a statement dated 11 August 2006 that, by 30 June 2006, a total of 1,047 people had been arrested under the Act, of which 158 had been charged under the Terrorism Act and 174 had been charged with other offences." ArzelaAscoli 14:31, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
In the Terrorism Act 2000, it says,
Section 41 of the Act provided the police with the power to arrest and detain a person without charge for up to 48 hours if they were suspected of being a terrorist.[4] This period of detention could be extended to up to seven days if the police can persuade a judge that it is necessary for further questioning.[5]
This was a break from ordinary criminal law where suspects had to be charged within 24 hours of detention or be released. This period was later extended to 14 days by the Criminal Justice Act 2003[6], and to 28 days by the Terrorism Act 2006.
On the other hand, in the Terrorism Act 2006, it says,
A government amendment to the bill, proposed on November 9 but rejected by the Commons, would have meant that suspects arrested under suspicion of having conducted, or being engaged in planning, terrorist crimes could be held for a period of 90 days before being charged with a crime. This was a considerable increase over the existing term permitted by the Terrorism Act 2000, which allowed for a maximum 14 days detention before charges were laid; contrast also to the maximum of four days detention without charge allowed in cases of murder, rape and complex fraud [3]. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ALJAY88 ( talk • contribs) 14:29, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed this section for various reasons, which I list below. Possibly this is notable and should be included in WP here or elsewhere, however not as it stands.
