I think the black cop was an absolute gentleman and very professional a proper legend and I don't think he deserved to be spoken to the way he was, I do think you should have been a little more respectful to him.
Your manner is polite but very effective. You quickly own the situation and it is very entertaining....I support you fully in standing up for the public's rights. Good luck to you my friend
There is no law stopping anyone filming in a public place, so if you are on the streets you can film without asking permission - the Metropolitan Police's own guidelines (adopted by all police forces in Britain) make clear that “police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel”.
It was very telling when you were talking about them leaving and the Copper said “we can’t just leave it like that…”. What he meant was “we can’t just go without either getting your personal details or searching you or both”. There was NO reason for them to be there once you explained why you were there.
Feel free to review them here
“You want my passport? I’m not travelling” 😄😄😄
They never understand the actual story begins when they turn up😂😂
She literally circled you and attempted to stop you walking on a public path. That has serious potential.
"I'm a bit thirsty you can get me a bottle of water" LMAO
You want a passport, am not travelling. Lol too funny AB 😂😂
There's no such thing as a friendly conversation with police, everything they say is an inquiry!
These look like the most random lookin bunch of coppers.
Tbf the the young male police officer was half decent and good about it
Remmber when police are joking and laughing there gathering information all the time .dont be fooled by them
The thing that pisses me off the most is when coppers pass off someone exercising theirs rights under law as being "defensive".
The one in a head scarf has such a bad attitude
Children. I’m glad you’re teaching these young coppers how to interact with the public.
PC Notepad was visibly furious that you didn’t jump to his demands.
If the police weren’t so easily triggered this guy would be out of a job. Stop biting and this guy has no videos...

They’re so short staffed they only had 4 officers spare to harass someone for not committing a crime.
