    Quote: he then felt the need to goad and humiliate them.

    I think those two cops humiliated themselves because of their lack of knowledge of the law

    The thing to remember is that while these coppers were making prats of themselves there would have been real crimes being committed, maybe old ladies being mugged, and children being attacked at which they should have been attending

    Someone said at the beginning of this thread that the police can't be expected to know all of the laws. What happens in this case is that they're unsure so they give the guy some bull. Serves em right.

    so your in the street talking to you notice someone hiding behind a hedge filming you would you just stand there? i agree coppers looks like fools but the fact of the matter was he was hiding filming and seemed like he was waiting for a reaction. but anyway the film maker got what he wanted both parties looked and sounded foolish , green behind the ears coppers and nothing better to do so called film maker. but he does make a sharp exit from what looks like a communal ally path and he is in a hurry.

    i cant believe i got into this topic hahaha its a dodgy person with a video camera and not a regular photographer on a street shame on me. my last entry in this silly thread Smile

    Of course.

    Unless you're a drug dealer, in which case, probably best to leg it.

    Who said they should just stand there? They went and asked him what he was doing, fair dos. (Didn't ask him if they could come onto his property) Then they bullshitted about the law as they didn't know it

    Don't joke about it, a few of my colleagues help out with officer training, basically local shopping centre and you get told by the trainer what your scenario is and how you should react to the officers, ranges from very timid and upset to full on throwing F's, kicking off and resisting arrest, loads of fun..........nickname for the new recruits.....'Plod in Pampers'..... as some look soo young Wink

    plod in pampers like that a lot carl

    on a serious note though , I had four defectives (pun intended) and one uniform (the only decent one there) raid my house a few years ago convinced I was dealing / posessing section one firearms! they didnt even know what a section one firearm was, and had to phone the station over a webley air pistol, if they can muck up on a really serious issue like that what hope for these plods in pampers

    It can't get any better than this.
    A motorist in Melksham, Wiltshire was told by the police to remove the England flag from his parcel shelf because it could be offensive to immigrants.
    He only put it there because he had just fitted speakers to the shelf and he wanted to hide them from view.
    The police told him it was racist towards immigrants and if he refused to take it down he would get a £30 fine. The flag by the way was laid flat and not obscuring his view.
    I have the English flag on my number plate instead of a GB sticker, I thought this was law if you went abroad.
    What was it old Brownie said, fly the flag for England!

    Are the immigrants domiciled in England not regarded as 'English' then?
