Free speech row as Scots 'Nazi dog' film maker found guilty of being grossly offensive online | HeraldScotland

Quote:
THE SCOT who trained his dog to respond to his calls of "gas the Jews" has been found guilty of posting an offensive message online.

Sheriff Derek O'Carroll found Mark Meechan guilty of communicating a video which was "grossly offensive".

The Meechan case became an international freedom of speech talking point after his video titled M8 Yer Dugs A Nazi was posted two years ago.

Among those criticising the verdict was award-winning comedy writer and performer Ricky Gervais who said: "A man has been convicted in a UK court of making a joke that was deemed 'grossly offensive'.

"If you don't believe in a person's right to say things that you might find 'grossly offensive', then you don't believe in Freedom of Speech."

Does anyone have any articles on it written by someone who understands English? Interesting case but the article that MLM posted is all over the place and my lazy googling hasn't shown other reports to be much different.

What was wrong with it?

He taught his dog to raise his paw when he said 'gas the Jews' to annoy his girlfriend in an act of bants. He posted it to YouTube. He is a YouTuber.

He has been arrested and charged with being offensive.

Convicted today.

Sentencing in April.

Could go to prison.

What else is there to know?

What is the law that bans being offensive? The article says that the sheriff called it offensive then extensively covers his video and the predictable reaction. It doesn't even say what exactly he had been convicted of. Some history on the legislation would be nice too. It's just poor journalism mate. It's focused on the reaction because that gets clicks. Boo.

Does the dog get imprisoned too? Accessory to the crime?

I think it is Communications Act (Scotland) 2003.
