Yet the warrant clearly shows otherwise? The warrant clearly says EXECUTE. not "accompany" that's a big difference.

The seller has been sharing information in public too, but yourself and Frank have not looked. Lady Decade sees the issue with her new video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGaE...

They Called The Police

By disposing, they're not the owner, the charity was. They own the IP but not the carts/consoles/cables anymore. Making it a civil case.
The police have further confirmed the seller is the owner, by asking him to "disclaim" ownership. Something you can't do if not yours.

The power is statutory and cannot be delegated to private persons. The second image shows the under investigation form unsigned.

ACE 1984, s.16(1).
• PACE 1984 (Police and Criminal Evidence Act) – Only a constable (or, under certain statutes, other specified public officials such as customs officers or trading standards officers) may apply for and execute a search warrant.

SEGA have refused to show this, but the police interview confirms they were given to the charity to recycle/reuse. The Warrant, is posted on the PT/OG discord a private company cannot be named on a warrant under PACE regulations. That means any evidence/hw seized has to be dismissed as evidence.

Under UK law, the above is illegal. Rendering any evidence seized irreverent to the case as it cannot be used.

Hence a human rights case.

It is a human rights case, as he was illegally arrested over a civil matter.

Warrants going as far as giving a private entity police powers to enforce a warrant.

The charity was paid to recycle/reuse which they did, the data is a different matter. The police should never been involved.

The charity SEGA hired was allowed to take the items, and to resell/recycle. Frank is missing out this key piece of information. On top the warrant, is illegal too as it give SEGA, a private company police powers. It's a human rights case, as well as preservation.

But they weren't, that's the whole point. They were given the items to resell/recycle.

There's no personal data on the hardware being sold.

Video Game Preservation Museum @vgpm.org · 19d

SEGA hired a charity to dispose of the items, they're legally owned. The police even confirm they're not stolen, by asking the owner to "give up ownership" you cannot give up ownership if you don't own something.

The warrant itself shows SEGA named with police powers, illegal under UK law.

Clearly you're not reading the issue Frank, and I'm pretty disappointed with you.

This is corruption at a police level, the items are not STOLEN. And not pirated. Please stop posting false, and misleading information.

Good morning!

GoodHub have just approved a dedicated fundraising page for the SEGA lot, we're calling this Project AGES.

The total has been adjusted to reflect bank fees/costs with transactions, so the price listed isn't the amount needed to be raised.
