This is why people are losing respect for the police...

[RossGReds]

I've seen a few videos from these self professed 'auditors'. Say what you will about them but the amount of times the police just outright abuse their powers is not cool. See this video below for example. How can these two not lose their job after behaving like this I do not know.

*** video removed, too much swearing ***

Guy deserves it. No wonder the country is the way it is with drivel videos like this.

Op talks about respect, but it works both ways and the guy filming clear has none and is looking for a reaction

Deserves to be detained and kneed for lawfully filming a publicly funded building? Awesome.

 

[RossGReds]

Yes he does. He's looking for a reaction and he's got it. In a heightened time of terrorist attacks the guys a moron for 'auditing' a police station.

Like I say no wonder the country is in a mess with the current woke brigade

Terrorists attack civilians, not the police. Shall we just outlaw photography everywhere?

 

[RossGReds]

Or filming the busy and quiet activity times, easy access routes, number of staff on premises - all useful info for a terror attack.

He wasn't just admiring the architecture

When was the last terrorist attack on a police station? Anything he filmed you could no doubt see on google maps anyway.

 

[RossGReds]

Why not post this video from his own pathetic site, where the Police are perfectly reasonable and he is a complete dick ( again )

Seriously man, he's holding a camera, not a knife! Why are they even bothering with him. Don't they have real issues to attend to? Maybe they do but they just want the easy life, waste as much time as they can to avoid dealing with the real criminals of the world.

 

[RossGReds]

Maybe he did have a knife which is why it got rough. We can't tell from the footage.

No 'auditor' is going to carry a knife. And the police have no grounds to suspect he may be doing.

 

[RossGReds]

I think you might be going a bit far. The thing that needs to happen is that officers are given the freedom and respect to do as they see fit. We should trust in the training that they receive to make an informed decision about a situation and then carry out an arrest if needed.

For example, the fact that this guy is clearly provoking the police is besides the point. If a man is filming a police station and then saying that he is actively auditing it, that is going to set multiple alarm bells ringing as a trained officer or the law.

The correct action was taken to detain him. You simply cannot take any chances.

Take any chances of what? Photography is not a crime, despite what the officer in the video is saying. He is just not very good at his job.

 

[RossGReds]

Hey look, you're wrong again! Photography can quite easily be a crime.

Not in this context

 

[RossGReds]

Except it could have been. The officers did not know this nutjobs intent. As has already been repeatedly explained to you it could have been used to assist in an attack on the station or other criminal activity.

I've already asked once before in this thread if they could tell me the last time a police station has been attacked by terrorists. The only reply I got was that one was attacked recently in Pakistan LOL.

 

[RossGReds]

Whats funny about a terrorist attack?

I was amused that they had to go to Pakistan to find an example.

Plenty got attacked or sent bombs by the IRA.

Yes the "Islamic" ones are cowards and usually only attack easy targets like schools, churches and random people on the street. But it doesn't rule it out.

What exactly is the point that you are trying to make, that filming a police station should be illegal? Arrest everyone that drives past/on the premises with a dashcam too?

 

[RossGReds]

Oh was that you that posted that lmao. Belter

 

[RossGReds]

I can honestly say I've never seen an opening post in all the years I've been a member where virtually everybody has stood up for what you were having a go at
Congratulations.

All that says is that there's a majority on this forum that would rather we go in a more totalitarian direction.

 

[RossGReds]

Another briliant bit of policing. Only this time it is from our brothers in blue across the pond.

 

[RossGReds]

Wouldn't mind escaping up her tunnel.

 

[RossGReds]

Minimum, maximum, life, whatever. He should never breathe free air again.

Don't know why but after reading this post i just get Schwarzenegger's voice in my head shouting 'give these people air!'

 

[RossGReds]

Americans should be grateful towards the trans movement for finally getting them to stop drinking dreadful **** weak beer for lightweights.

That said they probably just moved onto the next god awful American beer rather than actually upgrading to proper beer.

They'll move on to Coors light, unaware that Coors have been sponsoring pride events in the states for years.

 

[RossGReds]

I sincerely doubt he was in any genuine danger.

That's kind of besides the point when it's the police who are threatening you with arrest simply for walking the streets of London.
