Tommy Robinson exited UK court after a judge dismissed the terrorism-related case against him linked to his refusal to hand over his phone PIN. The judge ruled the stop unlawful and found evidence of political targeting due to Robinson's views. Robinson stated he refused to unlock the device to protect journalistic sources. Elon Musk reportedly financed the legal defense. Robinson publicly thanked Musk and noted that counterterrorism police were allegedly used against him as a journalist. The ruling raises questions about whether state powers are applied based on political alignment.
