    people are now going round trying to get interviews with police, to get into a bust up to get views on youtube, they do it in America and the 1st amendment protects them over there, it is crazy how tech etc is turning the world

    I’m all for folk using video cameras as evidence to prove their innocence.

    But when people abuse that and purposely go out their way to film the police they should be arrested on the spot. Also anyone who uploads videos of the police doing their job on social media should also be punished. I get that in some cases like the George Floyd incident, if it wasn’t for the public video camera we would’ve never heard of this. But in the majority it’s idiots trying to get a few likes on Facebook.

    Agree.
    Some people in Britain are getting confused with;
    Race relations and policing in America
    With
    Race relations and policing in Britain.
    Totally different - and far better over here.

    Better? Yes, but only because our ‘bad apples’ aren’t heavily armed and badly trained.

    but that doesn’t mean there’s no issues.

    The police are mostly idiots and should be held to account. There are far too many cringy beta apologists for them, "just do as you're told". Can't imagine being so spineless.

    Never had trouble with police - tend to find in general if you keep yourself out of trouble they don't bother you. I'm sure there are one or two who go over the top but that seems to be case in every profession

    Often, they will take photographs in public places. For example, outside a police station.

    This isn’t a crime (nor is behaving suspiciously), but it will be sufficient to get an officer to come out and investigate.

    You can see here:



    Not easy for the officer, but he didn’t really overstep the mark. You can see where the guy filming asked if he was being detained.

    Some officers will start quoting terror legislation and demanding personal details - ultimately ending in a body search and sometimes arrest.
