‘UK laws are weak’: TikTok ‘prankster’ who terrorised members of the public let off with £365 fine .....A TikTok “prankster” who sparked outrage over a series of “abhorrent” videos has mocked the UK’s “weak” laws after being let off with a fine.....A TikTok “prankster” who terrorised and harassed members of the public in a series of viral videos has mocked the UK’s “weak” laws after being given a slap on the wrist and set free despite widespread public outrage....Bacari-Bronze O’Garro, 18, who goes by the name “Mizzy” on social media, was given a £365 ($690) fine and slapped with a Criminal Behaviour Order (CBO) after turning himself into police on Monday. “The UK laws are weak, simple as — that’s not my fault,” he said in an interview with TalkTV host Piers Morgan on Wednesday. The teen from Hackney in East London had been arrested by Metropolitan Police on “suspicion of causing a public nuisance” after he filmed himself “walking into random houses”, asking young women if they “want to die” and stealing a dog in the park. He shot to notoriety earlier this month after the video of him and two accomplices entering a home in Islington went viral. “Walking into random houses, let’s go,” he says in the video....The young men then walk past a woman in the garden of the townhouse into the open front door, as she urgently calls for her partner inside. O’Garro films himself lounging on the family’s couch as the man confronts the group and attempts to usher them outside, pleading that “we’ve got kids, man”..... prompting calls for police to intervene. ...O’Garro appeared at Thames Magistrates’ Court where he pleaded guilty to failing to comply with a Community Protection Notice....The two-year CBO prohibits him from “trespassing into any private property, including residential homes, business properties, school and retail outlets”, and uploading any videos to social media “without prior documented consent of the people in that content”. ....Speaking to Morgan, O’Garro suggested he was only being criticised “because I’m black”. “Because you’re black? I don’t give a damn about your skin colour,” Morgan said. “I think you’re an idiot for what you’ve been doing, I also think you’re an idiot for playing the race card. I don’t care about your skin colour, I care about the fact you’ve been terrorising all these people for a sustained period of time. I also care about the fact you’ve only got a tiny fine today, no deterrent to you whatsoever, you don’t show any real remorse — you don’t really care, do you?” In one video captioned “Mizzy gets a new dog”, O’Garro approaches an elderly woman sitting on a park bench, telling her “you’ve got a nice dog”, before picking it up and running away laughing with the animal under his arm. Other videos showed O’Garro harassing women in parks and on public transport. One shows O’Garro approaching three young women sitting at a train station asking them if they “want to die” and repeatedly touching the hair of one. “Do you want to die, yes or no? Speak, I’m talking to you, bro,” he says. Another video showed O’Garro entering a random car and pretending “this is my Uber”, sparking a heated confrontation with the driver. Yet another shows O’Garro entering a public library and tearing up a book before pushing his way into a back room and harassing staff. “If I can get books out of the library why can’t I rip pages out of the books as well?” he asks. “Because then other people can’t use them,” the employee says. “Who gives a f**k about other people,” O’Garro responds. O’Garro had previously been arrested after filming himself harassing and assaulting Orthodox Jews. ....Speaking to The Independent this week, O’Garro claimed the negative reaction to his videos was partly due to him being black and that “people are trying to slander me”. “I’m a black male doing these things and that’s why there’s such an uproar on the internet,” he told the newspaper....“I don’t fake my pranks, but I always make sure to sort out the situation after if I feel like I went too overboard, but none of my pranks have malicious intentions behind them .....”...O’Garro said it was “unfair” that his accounts were banned. “All my social media accounts are gone right now, my Instagram got taken down this morning so did my YouTube,” he said. “I ain’t really bothered about TikTok because I’ve been banned over 20 times so it’s nothing new to me. But for YouTube and Instagram to ban me despite not posting videos that go against their community guidelines but due to public uproar is unfair. There’s been so many other creators that have done what I’ve done or even worse and still have a platform. Just seems suspicious....” https://www.news.com.au/technology/online/social/tiktoker-arrested-after-walking-into-random-houses-harassing-people-on-the-street-in-abhorrent-videos/news-story
