The article and my quote makes it clear that the initial police involvement where they are being critised for not acting quicker was in 2014. Even the most dedicated police hater can't legitimately complain that they aren't enforcing a law a year before it was passed.
And you can't legitimately complain about not enforcing a law on offenses prior to the date the law was passed either, as retroactivity (the act of doing something, and then having a law made against it and being punished for something that wasn't illegal when you did it) is banned under both the universal & EU human rights laws.
In short, your making a strawman argument and deliberately taking my post massively out of context in order to do it. Yes, they could have brought a case later, which presumably they did as the article criticises them for not acting quicker, rather than not acting at all.
Downvoted for not reading either my comment or the article.
