Overview

• Georgia Venables was charged under public order laws for displaying a bumper sticker with the word 'c***' on her car, which police claimed could cause offence.
• The Crown Prosecution Service dropped the case on May 21, 2025, citing a lack of realistic prospects for conviction.
• Venables had been stopped by police multiple times between late 2024 and early 2025 due to the profane stickers but reported no further stops since being put on bail.
• The case raised broader concerns about the balance between free expression and public order laws, as well as the discretionary power of police in such matters.
• Venables shared that the legal proceedings impacted her mental health and work obligations, but she now hopes to move on from the experience.
