I've often found with police (in the UK at least) if you're allright with them they will be allright with you. They deal with so much shit they appreciate it a lot and will reciprocate.
This is a risk you take and those of us who enjoy your wonderful explores need to be aware and fully appreciate the spectrum of your challenges. These law enforcement officers were excellent. They were just doing their job. You gents handled the challenge excellently.
The female police officer was so rude! Even after you guys mentioned what you guys were doing, she had to add “nothing stops us arresting you for burglary”. She sounds like she’s high on power…
Seriously ? these jerks illegally enter a fully boarded up site knowing full well that they were not supposed to be there, dressed in black, with backpacks. And you blame a policewoman who is just doing her job, having been called up by understandably nervous neighbours ! As for being high on power, No ! she's just pissed off that she yet again has to waste her time on dicks like these guys who have zero respect for other people's property. Did it occur to you that people own that building and obviously have plans for it. There is a lot of very valuable stuff in there. If it was your building would you want any randoms off the street breaking in to it?.... How are cops supposed to know these twerps weren't there to steal. They had the packs to carry stuff out. If I was the building owner I would be furious that the cops let them off so lightly ! As I am sure the cops are furious, having been lied to at the end about future activities of this bunch of repeat offenders (police love giving warnings only to learn that they are being ignored and basically spat on by people they are giving the benefit of the doubt to ! )
Female police officer was high on power. Quite common among police. You do seem to get caught quite a lot. Maybe you should review how you go about your exploring?
there's more police there, than I've seen in 20 years, and I've reported violent assualts, rta's and all sorts, often have to wait hours just for a couple to show up.
So many comments moaning about the police and yet they were doing their job and doing it without any force, any arguments, any issue. You guys cooperated and whilst you couldn't stay and carry on filming, it does show that the police aren't always the bad guys as some are making out. In fact, I thought one of them actually seemed interested in what you where doing 😆
We agree - it was a fair discussion but it wouldn’t have been if we hadn’t complied and been respectful back to them. Although what we are doing isn’t a criminal offence, it’s not exactly legal so it’s not worth arguing or being rude.
Guys, I understand and appreciate the effort you put into your videos and you all seem to be pretty straight forward with your interest in these abandoned buildings, checking some of its history etc. It is difficult in some places for young men like yourself to do this when neighbours around the buildings get a little edgy, especially if that area is known for drug use and the Police rightly so did explain it at the end. Just going through the motions. My question is, the buildings you find, do you ever try to get the owners permission so you can get full proper safe entry and hard hats and boots (or wellies and waterproofs Ref Ayr Station Hotel) You have a interest in the history and architecture and you're not out to cause vandalism or wreck the place therefore keep the neighbours happy. Also to keep yourselves safe in case of collapse. One other thing - is all your equipment insured. Stay safe and sound and happy exploring.
I enjoy these videos and I've often had the same thought. But if the owners were to grant access to a team of teenaged amateurs for exploration of sites that are inherently unsafe, think of the legal liabilities the owners might run into if something nasty happened. The owners might grant permission to a team of experienced professionals filming a buildimg for historical records, but even this would be iffy should (say) a roof collapse killing members of the team. Here we have an enthusiastic and well-mannered bunch of lads whose mission is to post RUclips videos for their (and our) entertainment. In this example, once it became clear that the team was not out to steal anything or destroy anything, the police treated them with respect, but they still had to emphasize their basic poiint: "Don't come back here."
Almost 20 years ago me and my brother was in the same situation, exploring an abandoned building, however for us their was a back entrance with bushes and small pathways and we heard "Police with a dog, come out now!" and my brother shouted "No!" whilst laughing and we legged it. Thankfully we got far away and being kids, just went back home.
And having watched you guys get nobbled I just wondered... Have you ever considered tackling an exploration by turning up in a white van, parking right outside and walking in (as best you can, of course) whilst wearing boiler suits, helmets, hi-vis jackets and carrying your cameras in a container like that intended for civil inspection equipment? It might allay concerns from the neighbours who then won't call the local police...
@@sideshow4417 You're free to fantasise about any sordid scenario you want. Please don't act on those darker impulses, however tempting them seem to you.
Love how the plod search your car as well. Talk about fishing expedition. It was clear they were not equipped to break and enter, didn't take anything as the police themselves acknowledged.
These comments slating the police response are ridiculous. Buildings like these are regular targets for lead and copper theft, general burglary and even arson. 4 people entering such a building wearing black, with masks is quite rightly going to attract suspicion and a suitable response from police. Yes, their search was lawful. Yes, they could have lawfully arrested these explorers on suspicion of burglary. This is why it is so important for Urbexers to interact respectfully and cooperate with police.
Very nice understanding police there and just doing their job. They did have a point that you can meet so many sketchy people in places like that (I know as I've done the same with dead mall exploration). What a shame you didn't get just a bit more video but oh well, there are hundreds of other places to scope out later.
Well handled there that must’ve been a scare, they seemed nice enough in the end although the police lady seemed bit unprofessional at the start - and that false accusation of breaking and entering and arrest for burglary without reasonable suspicion. It’s not for others to judge whether someone else’s interest appeals to them to make it ok. An exciting watch nonetheless and at least you got out fine!
lol seriously? false accusation and no reasonable suspicion? theres 4 teens all dressed in black in a building none of them have any ownership of or should be in there.....id say thats enough reasonable suspicion
Trespass is a civil matter. The only thing the police can do is escort you off the property and tell you not to do it again. The suspected claims of burglary are totally unfounded and are used primarily as a scare tactic. You were well within your rights not to answer any questions and the interest in your car, (and it's contents), plus, whether you planned to do any other buildings in the area was, quite frankly, none of their business.
@@CymruEmergencyResponder It's the middle of the day. If they were going to burgle anything, they would have done it during the middle of the night when there are less eyes out and less lighting. The whole point of wearing black is to blend in with the dark, that's kind pointless in the middle of the day with the sun still blasting
It may of been a fail but it was still a good watch lads. I work in security and used to love working in abandoned places earmarked for demolition or restoration. Sadly now I’m more office based security 😞
Yeah I thought so too. The other officers were firm but fair, and seemed to have a decent attitude even before all was explained. Yet she just had to keep chipping in with the comments even right at the end. The lads clearly demonstrated respect for the officers, and gave zero resistance. No need for her to still try and exert dominance. Poor form that leads to people not respecting them.
Not Really. The first 10 secs She sound like shes about to go in a Gun fight. Bet her husband is tired of it aswell. What am i even Saying. Clearly She dont have one
the police were nice and polite i was serprised how meany turned up your lucky if you even see 1 policeman if your house has been broken into thay normally give you a insurance number
@@Urbandoned Lead and Copper thefts, especially from Churches, older local authority sites and abandoned structures are on the rise again. My local forces have setup task forces to respond and intercept the thieves on site, instead of just attending after the fact and writing the crime report off. Looks like a coordinated response in order to surround the premises, cutting off all possible escape routes till they either force entry en mass, or send in a K9 unit to flush you out etc. Glad all was resolved peacefully. Very nice to see guys your age responding so respectfully with the police. Well done lads 👍
These coppers abused their powers I would have told them especially the bird to jig on. Unless you have been stopped in your vehicle you do not have to comply with anything.
A few years ago, we carried out a ghost hunt in an abandoned nursing home. We made the mistake of people seeing us enter the site via a damaged fence panel. I have to say, when the police turned up, a policeman and woman, they were very good. We knew we shouldn’t have been there of course, and they laughed because I couldn’t get back through the gap in the fence. They explained that they had been called, and also explained why we shouldn’t be there. It was all very informal, and they showed a genuine interest in ghost hunting, and politely declined to join us in a future investigation. There was at no time a request to see the equipment we were using, but we showed them anyway. It was all very pleasant and friendly, and we were very politely asked not to go in there again.
@@Urbandoned all police are suspicious bud... they're actually paranoid..and that's how they're trained.. We are criminals until proven innocent, to them.
Wrong. They had every right to search the vehicle under Section 1 of PACE. Being their "private property" is irrelevant. In this type of situation a warrant is not required, which unfortunately a lot of people are lead to believe as they become experts after watching too much American TV. The end of the day, It's a vehicle. Its on scene. It's the mode of transport the Urbandoned crew used to travel to the scene of the callout. The lads entered a building as trespassers, and at the time of being intercepted on site, their intentions are unknown. They guys could well be carrying items for going equipped to steal, stolen goods, or even be driving around in a stolen vehicle to facilitate other crimes. People do lie about being Urbexers to try and fool the cops into letting them off, so as not to be subject to a search. Absolutely no criticism to the guys as I love their work, and admire their attitude. As for the police, someone called them in good faith and they, for once, responded in good time and caught potential burglars at the scene of a potential crime. Both sides dealt with the incident appropriately.
That looked like a great find.. would loved to have seen more didn't the area looked decent from what I could see, the main thing is your all safe..hop you plugged your you tube site
Trespassing is not illegal. In the UK, you should of been detained arrested before search also, I get this all the time metal detecting. Good bud lads.
Nice church, what a pity it's left to rot. Some local must've called cops. The 2 wearing jeans &trainers look dodgy 🙃 Glad no charges , I don't think they had grounds to search your vehicle. 🐱♏🏴
Section 1 of PACE stop search. Most certainly had reasonable grounds to suspect that the lads may have had stolen goods, or items used for Going Equipped to Steal. The grounds of the search being that the Urbandoned lads had been detained inside a building acting as trespassers, and at that time their intentions are unknown. In UK law a burglary is committed at the time a person enters a building as a trespasser with the intention to steal, carry out damage, etc, etc. Obviously people lie to them regarding their nefarious activities, so I'm guessing the responding officers wanted to cover all bases and ensure the car didn't contain anything illegal. Fair play to all sides in the way it was handled. Impressed by the maturity of the Urbandoned guys.
They also cannot search your car without a warrant. The police were decent enough here, but they were being filmed...who knows how they would have acted if they weren't🤷♂️
Hi Guys sorry you didn’t get your full time video there? As it would be a very interesting Church to see in its full glory with all of its artefact detailing glad you all managed to get out safely and had not much repercussions from the (Police) and it just goes to show that all that amount of policing there was a total wasteful resourcing 👍😊
Ridiculous questions asked by those officers though! How dare they even mention the words burglary. . They obviously never dealt with urban Explorers or come across the wrong ones. Bet they subbed to your channel 😆😆😆
Are you daft? Haven’t you seen the vandalism that goes on in abandoned places? Also, you might be surprised to hear that people sometimes lie to the police.
It’s fair for them to have suspicion - four teens dressed in black in an abandoned building, although our intentions aren’t dodgy, you can see why someone else might think they are.
Unlucky guys! But as always well done how you deal with the police. Keep up the good work but from a man who has two sons your age please look after yourselves and stay safe, Alex
What gives them the right to search your car? I know you don’t want to upset them or piss them off but I don’t think they had enough to search your car. If you were equipped to break in with tools etc. then they can search the car. I think they were being very nosey!
you could always inform the police and give them a full list of your shoot so then they can actually be of use but it does mean a shed load of paperwork but the upside is you will be legal in the eyes of the law but i am just sounding crazy right now i bet
I am curious about one thing. What was the denomination of the old church? Anglican? Methodist? Catholic? Too bad you were interrupted. I wonder what the outcome would have been if this happened in the US.
This is a risk of urbex...but historians now and in the future appreciate and will appreciate the data...will enable 3d model building of the past...and give a peek into the way it was...
great video and short explore, it must have been a quiet time in the station to send detectives out as well as uniformed officers, that first police woman had a voice on her
The sad thing about this kind of thing happening is that folks who aren't even aware of the Urban Ex topic/community have no idea that you guys are all just trying to document places of historical and societal importance before it's destroyed, and in some cases even try to protect these valuable places. If only everyone understood what the UrbEx community and CCs are trying to do there'd be no issues. I understand the safety worries of folks, and ofc the fear by residents, especially if they've had a lot of burlgaries around the neighbourhood, but if they really thought about it, would potential burglars be stood around in broad daylight in the open, on the main road for hours for everyone to watch.
I don't know why they couldn't give you a motorised escort out of town!!!!MInd you , their appearance is bound to happen from time to time and will probably do so again sometime in the future
Sadly, some women (wrongly) think they have to act like men to be taken seriously in predominately male environments, such as police, the armed forces and offshore.

so how many of the cops made it to the video I wonder.
Glad you guys were ok 👍. The pitfalls of urbex . Look forward as always to your next explore ☮🚙🏳️🌈
Appreciate it - definitely the worse parts of Urbex, but still interesting!
Ah yes , accusation of burglary, I hate when they do that when Its obviously not burglary
"POLICE ARMED WITH TAZER COME OUT" - bit excessive, no?
Nice church, what a pity it's left to rot.
Some local must've called cops.
The 2 wearing jeans &trainers look dodgy 🙃
Glad no charges , I don't think they had grounds to search your vehicle. 🐱♏🏴
Section 1 of PACE stop search.
Most certainly had reasonable grounds to suspect that the lads may have had stolen goods, or items used for Going Equipped to Steal.
The grounds of the search being that the Urbandoned lads had been detained inside a building acting as trespassers, and at that time their intentions are unknown.
In UK law a burglary is committed at the time a person enters a building as a trespasser with the intention to steal, carry out damage, etc, etc.
Obviously people lie to them regarding their nefarious activities, so I'm guessing the responding officers wanted to cover all bases and ensure the car didn't contain anything illegal.
Fair play to all sides in the way it was handled. Impressed by the maturity of the Urbandoned guys.
Never give details...see...he said...you dont have to
Yep!
They also cannot search your car without a warrant. The police were decent enough here, but they were being filmed...who knows how they would have acted if they weren't🤷♂️
Hi Guys sorry you didn’t get your full time video there? As it would be a very interesting Church to see in its full glory with all of its artefact detailing glad you all managed to get out safely and had not much repercussions from the (Police) and it just goes to show that all that amount of policing there was a total wasteful resourcing 👍😊
No problem, at least we managed to see a bit inside, and show it
Nice one, glad we managed it. Kinda.
Kinda haha!
That police lady is aww right get her number for me
Ridiculous questions asked by those officers though! How dare they even mention the words burglary. . They obviously never dealt with urban Explorers or come across the wrong ones.
Bet they subbed to your channel 😆😆😆
Are you daft? Haven’t you seen the vandalism that goes on in abandoned places? Also, you might be surprised to hear that people sometimes lie to the police.
It’s fair for them to have suspicion - four teens dressed in black in an abandoned building, although our intentions aren’t dodgy, you can see why someone else might think they are.
@@Urbandoned especially since some burglars do now take cameras with them and use ‘Urbex’ as a cover for actual criminality.
Unlucky guys! But as always well done how you deal with the police. Keep up the good work but from a man who has two sons your age please look after yourselves and stay safe, Alex
Thank you for the good wishes, we will look after ourselves :)
What gives them the right to search your car? I know you don’t want to upset them or piss them off but I don’t think they had enough to search your car. If you were equipped to break in with tools etc. then they can search the car. I think they were being very nosey!
My thought exactly! Also by law they need to be specific what item(s) they are searching for.
you could always inform the police and give them a full list of your shoot so then they can actually be of use but it does mean a shed load of paperwork but the upside is you will be legal in the eyes of the law but i am just sounding crazy right now i bet
Is this church in England then guys
I wonder if the Police ever relax and watch such interesting items on RUclips, Alex Belfield might have some answers !!
While I understand our police have a job to do and keep people safe...I think the female officer was escalating the situation the officers were fine.
I am curious about one thing. What was the denomination of the old church? Anglican? Methodist? Catholic? Too bad you were interrupted. I wonder what the outcome would have been if this happened in the US.
Interesting video!
On the plus side the police present have shown you a new route to get back in. 👍👍🤣
This is a risk of urbex...but historians now and in the future appreciate and will appreciate the data...will enable 3d model building of the past...and give a peek into the way it was...
we're is this church
great video and short explore, it must have been a quiet time in the station to send detectives out as well as uniformed officers, that first police woman had a voice on her
Maybe! They did seem to leave quickly after they had searched our cars, possibly to go to a more needy call
Thier dam lucky the police bothered to come out.
The sad thing about this kind of thing happening is that folks who aren't even aware of the Urban Ex topic/community have no idea that you guys are all just trying to document places of historical and societal importance before it's destroyed, and in some cases even try to protect these valuable places. If only everyone understood what the UrbEx community and CCs are trying to do there'd be no issues. I understand the safety worries of folks, and ofc the fear by residents, especially if they've had a lot of burlgaries around the neighbourhood, but if they really thought about it, would potential burglars be stood around in broad daylight in the open, on the main road for hours for everyone to watch.
Do not sell this church to the immigrants from asia, middle east or africa! It is your forefathers' heritage.
I don't know why they couldn't give you a motorised escort out of town!!!!MInd you , their appearance is bound to happen from time to time and will probably do so again sometime in the future
You check places and show us cool places. Those who destroys are messing for us
No one else wondering why the police officers are in jeans?
Because they are undercover / plain clothes officers who obviously got given the call and got there first
the female officer and the start definetly tought she waas hard as nails
Sadly, some women (wrongly) think they have to act like men to be taken seriously in predominately male environments, such as police, the armed forces and offshore.
Yeah when someone shouts like that don't come out. Shes tested the waters and the fish bit 😂
@@grobbler1 Glad someone's said it, but it's spread to all environments now, even picking your kids up from nursery!
