Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch

or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Runner attempts murder on Putney Bridge. Anyone we know?

Now what we need to do is calm down and step away from the Fetchforks, the legal system knows what to do here.

Fetchilantes! :-O

Well done the Met and the public for helping to identify him. Be *very* interesting to see how this develops, what he's charged with, what defence, if any, he tries to mount.

Chelsea. Hmmm. Immediately prejudiced assumptions by me? Much? Moi?! :-) G

It was reported earlier (Times) that police were checking strava records ..
Which raises a few questions :-
1) Are such louts attracted to strava or does strava use lead to such aggression?
2) Why not other tracking tools - eg Garmin, Mapmyrun, or even (dare I say it) Fetch?
3) Could Lord Fetch identify anyone with training at a specific location, date and time?
4) If so, would it need a warrant or other persuasion from the police to 'share' that info?

( and what level of crime would allow such access ?)
Noting I'd be all in favour in this case - but is there a level where sharing such info would not be appropriate?

Seems the rested / bailed person has suddenly aged - now 50 ??

4) pretty sure a warrant would be needed - that's what I've been told is the case if police come to my workplace wanting info about someone from our computers

I just read up on GBH, ABH and Common Assault, best plan is to not run into people was my take-home message.

People who are OK with putting running data on something like strava shouldn't have a problem with it being accessible to Police, even if you have privacy turned on. If you want total anonymity then use a spreadsheet!

My "Chelsea" semi-tongue-in-cheek comment above was, perhaps not a "lout", perhaps a perfectly well-to-do, but arrogant, git? So definitely a strava or any other run-logging site user (except Fetch obv!)

I'd hope a warrant was required. Fetch GPS data (e.g. Fetchpoint, Conquercise etc.) allows you to place people quite accurate, date, time, pace etc.!

I really can not think of any defence the guy can have.
