The Scottish Government's unprofessional and unintelligent fiscal depute, who is prosecuting false charges against me, hasn't answered my defence emails in a timely or satisfactory manner. So I am publishing my emails to suggest that there is no justification for this malicious prosecution against a life-long anti-racist like me.
AGREED EVIDENCE
Date: Thu, 13 Feb 2025 at 16:39. Subject: Fwd: PF Ref: AB25000403 Alastair Peter Dow. Agreed Evidence
Pursuant to sections 256, 257 & 258 "Agreed Evidence" of the Criminal Procedure (Scotland) Act 1995 as amended, I am the accused representing myself and writing to the prosecution to seek to establish what may or may not be agreed evidence between the prosecution and defence or what is not agreed and requires further evidence to prove.
Here are the facts which the defence intends to present as evidence though it is for the prosecution to prove their case and the presumption of innocence is mine as the accused by right.
Facts
1. The etymology of the word "Paki" was a clipping or shortening of the word "Pakistani" without changing the meaning. Originally, the word "Paki" just meant "Pakistani" with no racist connotation.
2. Scots today may use the word "Paki" intending to mean "Pakistani" (with no racist connotation), in the original sense of the word "Paki" and may do so lawfully in Scotland.
3. Scots may refer to any Pakistani as a "Paki" and may do so lawfully in Scotland.
4. Humza Yousaf is a Pakistani and has been recorded on video (attached to this email as the file "Yousaf says he's a Pakistani.mp4" and may be viewed on YouTube at this link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHFBpchLPoU ) referring to seeing himself as "... Pakistani too".
5. Scots may note that Humza Yousaf is a Pakistani and may refer to him as a "Paki" meaning "Pakistani" lawfully in Scotland.
6. Kaukab Stewart is a Pakistani who was born in Pakistan according to the Scottish Government's Equalities Minister webpage (see attached file "Kaukab Stewart Minister for Equalities - gov.scot.pdf") and in 2021 Mrs Stewart lodged a motion in the Scottish Parliament congratulating Pakistan on its independence (see attached file "Kaukab Stewart MSP congratulates Pakistan 2021.pdf"
7. Scots may note that Kaukab Stewart is a Pakistani and may refer to her as a "Paki" meaning "Pakistani" lawfully in Scotland.
8. The accused Alastair Peter Dow is the owner of the X account "@_Peter_Dow" and accepts full responsibility for posting or tweeting that X account's complained-about tweets which the prosecution complains about in the prosecution's summary complaint against the accused.
The defence invites the prosecution to agree with the defence a memorandum of understanding to be lodged as a minute with the court with some or all the above listed facts as agreed evidence for the purpose of the proceedings.
DISCLOSURE
Date: Tue, 11 Feb 2025 at 10:50. Subject: PF Ref: AB25000403 Alastair Peter Dow. Offer me appointment slots for disclosure access please
In your email of 6th February 2025, an Aberdeen PF fiscal officer wrote
"Please also contact our office to arrange an appointment where you can view witness statements by access."
I did contact the same by reply email, copied below, asking what appointment slots for disclosure access are offered to me?
As yet I have received no reply and no offer of any appointment slots for disclosure access.
I am trying to make contact as requested but as usual, getting a timely response from the arrogant and incompetent Aberdeen PF fiscal's office is like getting blood from a stone.
Answer me if you would be so kind!
Date: Fri, 7 Feb 2025 at 15:27
What appointment slots for disclosure access are you offering next week? Monday?
CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY
Date: 06 Feb 2025 17:09. Subject: Re: PF Ref: AB25000403 Alastair Peter Dow. Return of property seized by police.
Firstly, My "DELL COMPUTER" - Dell Optiplex Mini Tower small form factor desktop personal computer - is NOT a "mobile device".
Product Dimensions 9.27 x 29.21 x 29.01 cm;
Weight - 5.14 kg
This Dell computer has a 128 GigaBytes Solid State Drive hard disc which has my science research work in-progress at the time of the police smash-and-grab raid. I cannot be more specific than that as regards which data files have unique science data information and which are copied elsewhere. Just give me the whole unit back now please.
I don't understand the rationale for your statement "We still await further documentation from the Police before we can finally determine whether we require to have your mobile devices analysed."
The police tell me they are waiting on the PF to order the release of my property back to me and you tell me that the PF are waiting on the police. That sounds like a very long wait which will never be resolved. Please take responsibility to rectify the wrong that this pair of corrupt and incompetent institutions did in seizing my computer equipment in the first place. This stalling and buck-passing between police and prosecutors is inexcusable.
While police deny me access to that disc and its data, this denial is obstructing me from efficiently continuing with in-progress voluntary science duties in the service of humanity.
This wilful denial constitutes misconduct by the police and prosecutors in a public office which amounts, in my opinion, to a CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY committed by police and by fiscal officers such as yourselves in Aberdeen PF's office. You lot are the dangerous criminals in this case, not me! Fiscal officers should be disbarred as solicitors - struck off - if they wilfully refuse to order the return of my science data. If the government will not strike off those guilty of such misconduct in a public office then we need a new government in my political opinion.
The truly mobile "mobile devices" taken - my TCL mobile phone and Packard Bell laptop - do not contain such currently in-use science data as the Dell PC but for example, the mobile phone has phone numbers of recent contacts which I don't have any other note of. So that's an inconvenience I could do without.
Secondly, why can't you copy the witness statements and email them to me so I can view them at home? What form are the statements in?
Paper? Don't you have a scanner? Can I use your scanner to copy paper statements onto my laptop?
Video? Video statements can also be copied digitally and emailed or if too large to email they can be copied onto a memory device.
Do you have appropriate IT support staff available for such tasks or will I have to do it all myself? I am technically able but I will either need to use your equipment or bring my own if you don't have IT support available.
"C S" - Claire Stewart?
Procurator Fiscal Service
AB1 Building Crimon Place ABERDEEN AB10 1BJ
Dear Miss Stewart,
I beg your pardon for my unsolicited email but I am seeking to discover the name of the Procurator Fiscal Depute who signed this letter -
RETURN MY PROPERTY!
I am the accused Alastair Peter Dow representing myself.
My priority now is to secure the immediate return of my property seized by the police which is not required as evidence for your prosecution.
Speaking from the dock of Court 1 in Aberdeen Sheriff Court, yesterday, 15th January 2025 I said -
"Fourthly, I must repeat my previous requests for the return to me of my computer equipment, seized by the police, which I need in my possession to continue to do the full range of my science duties in the service of humanity but which the police and prosecution have never needed because I have always freely admitted tweeting the complained-about tweets.
There should be no dispute between prosecution and defence about the bare facts of this complaint and case. There is nothing left unproven which my computer equipment is needed by the prosecution to prove. The police and the prosecution don't need my property - have never needed my property - so return my property now please.
I implore the court - DO NOT commit a crime against humanity by obstructing the progress of science. Return my equipment to me forthwith!"
In previous emails, the full text of which is appended to this email and which were previously forwarded to Aberdeen Procurator Fiscal Service I wrote -
"But the Court and the Crown should take careful note that I have already admitted to the police (see my email forwarded below) to sending the tweets complained about from my X account "_Peter_Dow".
Therefore the Crown does not need to lead any further evidential proof that I sent my complained about tweets - and if required I would be happy to sign a memorandum of understanding for the Crown, admitting to sending the tweets but what I am not happy about is for the Crown and the police to keep in their possession my computers and mobile phone which I demand be returned to me immediately.
I need my Dell Optiplex desktop computer especially for the science data contained therein so that I can continue my duties as a scientist in the service of humanity. It is a crime against humanity to obstruct a scientist in the service of humanity. Therefore do not commit a crime against humanity and return to me my science data immediately. I need my science data and I am entitled to lawful possession of my own property generally. The Crown doesn't need my property for any lawful purpose so should instruct the police to return it to me forthwith.
It would be quite wrong for this case to drag out from one continuation after another while all the time the Crown maintains the fiction that I would deny authorship of tweets in my own name or that somehow a police smash and grab raid on my own home is required to prove that I tweeted my own tweets!"
"Secondly, as a scientist, I do voluntary duties in the service of humanity so you may be concerned to note that it is a crime against humanity to obstruct a scientist like myself in the course of my science duties by seizing my computer and precious scientific data. The computer may be replaced but very often the science data is irreplaceable. Therefore I strongly urge you to return my Dell Optiplex to me as soon as possible.
It is my understanding that your officers seized my computer and mobile in the course of their investigation into Case Number PSSECR53W1224 concerning a complaint about tweets I had made from my @_Peter_Dow X (formerly Twitter) account.
At an interview with your officers at Kittybrewster Police Custody Centre, yesterday 18th December 2024, I readily confirmed ownership of both that X account and authorship of the tweets complained about and I am happy to confirm that ownership and authorship in writing to you today again.
It therefore follows that there is nothing to be gained by police or prosecutors ordering a forensic examination of my computer and mobile phone to seek evidence for my authorship of those tweets which I have already admitted to. Such a forensic examination would be pointless, redundant, an unwarranted expense and it would obstruct my lawful use of my own property and obstruct my duties as a scientist. Please return my computer and mobile phone to me expeditiously."
