  • What a poof

  • What a total and utter cock of a pig, he displays everything that is wrong with todays police, ignorance, poor people skills, poor knowledge of the law and a master and servant attitude.

    Cops like him deserve the tag pig

  • Hardly a fast response vehicle is that a child seat in the back.  Piggy

  • Armed responce vehicle??? on a firearms job??? Cops going to shoot all speeders now then? stupid prat, goes to show you don't need brains to be a traffic cop. LMFAO.

  • losers, insert better things to be doing arguement......

  • he wouldn't be at risk if he carried on driving, that way this video wouldn't be released and no one would ever know, fuckin prick

  • I'm pretty sure if he'd stopped them and explained politely why he would prefer them not to take his picture, while also explaining that he has no powers under the law to stop them from doing so, they probably would have done it. There are different ways to approach situations like this, and that wasn't the right one.

  • TWAT

  • He wasn't happy.

  • What more safety could he be at when English police don't carry firearms?

  • oi bruv if that silly cunt fucked u off n took ya camera off ya tell me what area u were in and if u got the reg n the car will be fuckin torched with in a week fuckin pigs dont even know under what powers he has rights taking ya camera fuckin pigs do ya real job not fuckin herass my manz ok

  • @EXPLORINGYouinHD, I think he handed the camera back before he f*cked off. Having said that, notice how he kept asking if the guy "understood" that means "stand under" his jurisdiction. If you say yes, you have agreed that the policeman has power over you. It was good that the biker just kept asking questions as ehey cannot create joinder with you unless you agree with them/admit stuff.

  • had a cso r round mine fri just gone cuz he said i was gunna over take a ice cream van down my street i pulled out so he could see me in his blind spot i told him to fuck off n get off my drive n 5 min in he called back up lol fuckin pigs i told him when he on his own im takin his jaw off :)

  • @EXPLORINGYouinHD you sound like a 12 year old, i guess you where one of the scumbag's in the riots?

  • no mate i have my own business n u sound like a twat i guess you mom for got to to use durex

  • @EXPLORINGYouinHD Well aren't you the big grown then up with your own business , wooptey fucking dooo ! you sound like a fucking chav fuck if you ask me.

  • They are 'OUR PUBLIC SERVANTS' we are allowed to take their pictures , if that policeman was scared of a camera ,,,,, maybe he is in the wrong job . This policeman as with many are just bully boys with major power . I have come across many like that and a lot worse and some that are good guys . END OF THE DAY THEY HAVE THE POWER

  • iv just had a thought if the moron officer didnt tell the cameraman he was a fire arms officer who would of known. on the cv form to be a copper you have to have a small willy and a wife who kicks fuck out of you to get in

  • The police offer should never have started such an argument if he ist 100% sure, that he has can winn. Im sure he was pretty pissed at him self after this happened:-)

  • There is no LAW which prevents you taking a photograph of a Police Officer, firearms officer or otherwise. Any attempt made by an Officer under OATH to misrepresent a Law and state otherwise is committing FRAUD.

    Did this Officer identify himself properly? He is OBLIGED to identify himself to you.

    check out Mark Thomas at the Guardian newspaper for how to deal with him.

  • pigs

  • what a fucking COCK!

  • And the police wonder why so few British people are on their side anymore......

  • oh my goodness its all about terrorism. yeah yeah its just the police man being a consistant knob

  • Counter Terrorism Act 2008 This was create d by sissy Blair....

  • I am an amateur photographer who regularly takes photos out and about. I'm not sure under what powers it is lawful, but IT IS LAWFUL for an officer to ask to SEE your photos. Police are NOT allowed to confiscate your camera or equipment so long as you comply with their right to VIEW what pictures you have taken. I obtained this information from a recent Press release.

  • @hughatellesmereport Only under The Terrorism Act, Section 43 and under VERY specific circumstances (which didn't apply here). In any case they need to REASONABLY suspect the person they are stopping to be a terrorist. "Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel" (Quote from The Metropolitan Police in London)

  • who the fuck is he james bond is his identity a state secret or something. always challenge them to tell u what section/law they r acting under most of the time they just make it up as they go along

  • @MrBillyt12345 The legislation in question is s76 Counter Terrorism Act 2008, which came into effect post-this-clip.

  • Comment removed

  • @MazenYemen100 I don't read shite fairy stories written by epileptic pedophiles who hallucinated due to his epilepsy. Thanks but no thanks.

  • dddddd

  • Listen i'm a stupid ass cop and i beleave i got all the powers in the world. Since i cant stop you for filming my bad acting, i am going to say that you are putting my safety at risk. I know it's not right but who cares. I like to make the lesson to others. I'm a cop, i'm the king of the road. I hide myself to catch cars and i have a gun. So all of you pesants, shut the hell up and pay the fines. Sickening

  • I'm all ways watching shows like police interceptors and the likes and when a crimnal demands the camara be taken away the police say they have the right to film what thay want. Yet when the tables are turned its a different story. Its time they realised that just because they represent the law does not put them above it.

    Same goes for things like swareing. i seen loads of cops sware on the varius tv shows and yet you sware at them and its a crime.

  • @madmonkeymagik Above the law? You need to do some research on how section 76 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 restricts the filming of police. The police on the other hand do have the legal right to film what they want.

  • @lollygaggle So they make a law to do something others aren't aloud to do and claim its for anti-terrorism reasons?  i bet your a copper arn't you? I don't think a traffic cop out catching speeding motorists is high on Al-Qaeda's target list somehow...

  • @madmonkeymagik The legislation covering the filming of police covers the entire force, not just traffic officers.

  • I've discovered the real reason he was upset that you filmed him.

    They are both gay and were having a gay day out in his mums people carrier.

  • The copper is twat ,

    Hes sitting in vehicle in full uniform and tries to claim hes on some sort of covert mision!!! what a twat.

    If his life is in danger it because hes a twat.

    Twat twat twatty twat twat.

    .....and i bet his gay mate is twat.

  • I have to side with the police officer here (a first maybe?). He asked the guy to stop taking pictures and he just intentionally provoked the officer. Don't provoke the police, bad idea. Although the police officer had no right to demand to see the picture he's snatched the camera because the mcn guy is winding him up and he's lost his temper.

  • tipicall police BULLSHIT AGAIN .....respect to the man for challenging the jobworth cop.lol

  • under what powers??? under the powers of fuck you!!! let the police do their job with out being a freaking mental retard.

  • Police State death squads are Special Needs.

  • @operationnorthwoodz LOL. Death squads?! Sounds like you're the one with special needs!

  • you shoulda took a pic as they were leaving haha

  • Forgive me for my Canadian ignorance... but what does he mean by "registered firearms vehicle"? I know your gun laws are rediculous, but thats just silly. ...and I totally agree with MCN. If you are in plain public view, you are fair game. What right does anyone have, including the police, to tell you what you can and can't take pictures of in public?

  • @JB101inc The registered firearms vehicle cited by the officer, is the unmarked Galaxy in the photo.

    At the beginning of last year, The Counter Terrorism Act 2008 came into force, so whilst there are no legal restrictions on photography in public places, the new legislation will create situations in which the taking of photographs may raise security considerations that a police officer will deal with by arresting those who he/she reasonably believes are preparing an act of terrorism.

  • This copper is talking utter crap.How can his safety be compromised by taking a photo of him in his vehicle?If he drives anywhere near a town/city his picture will be taken hundreds of times on CCTV.Does he think that MCN are going to publish a list of all unmarked cop cars with registration numbers and pictures? What a cock.Also he has no right under law to seize the cameramans camera,as you can hear he cannot state under what section he is seizing the camera,pathetic.Unmarked firearms?Unlikely

  • I hate wehn police officers go on a ego trip and think there somebody speical. just want to take the badge of him and remind him who he realy is, just a pointless pedestrian like everybody else on this planet

  • PC Darren Parry is SO up himself!

  • ACAB

  • Comment removed

  • HA HA that was brilliant.

    That Policeman thinks he is so special, what does he think he is? A fuckin SAS warrior! "Your putting my life at risk" what a load of crap.

    I live in North Wales and 90% of all maroon Ford Galaxy's are unmarked Police Cars, everyone knows this.

    They are full of shit, I would become a Policeman but I prefer to have friends and a personality.

  • pig pig pig pig pig

  • Yeah we should take photos of MCN reporters and their cars, se how they like it

  • typical police, lazy arseholes!

  • any wonder why people think that they are a bunch of work dodging wankers.

  • How is his safety at risk? He's just using his position as a police officer to lord over others. All cops in the US drive 'firearms vehicles", and they don't feel their safety is at risk if you take their picture. Of course, they're pigs, too, and would probably take your camera as well :)

  • stupid fucking cop..pig.. twat.. i fucking hate the bastards.. i live on anglesey and the cops on the island are the worst pigs of all.. gaerwen.. holyhead.. llangefni pig stations.. fuck the lot of you.. p.c.s.o.. fucking plastic pigs..fucking pricks think they are the law..dumb fuckers..get a life you arseholes..

  • My sympathies to the cameraman, and sterling job for not agreeing to understand the cop's unfounded allegation that he would be put at risk. Probably more at risk just by being a pompous tw@t in a uniform. Exactly the same happened to us for pointing our camera at the sky to record a glorious sunset right outside our gate. Complete waste of time money and skin - plus their guns are to protect them, not us - and from what? Bikers and reporters no doubt.

  • Stupid officer... you could put his fkin registration pic for us.

  • It does not matter of the police officer was acting with reason. The fact is the law did not grant him the ability to seize a civilians camera and delete it's contents, even if he is an officer. When we as civilians stop exercising our rights out of fear we lose what freedom we have left.

  • I bet You are fu@ing POPO(cop),or you are retarded if you dont understand what happened!

  • The police are pathetic. he didn't no what powers. does he have that power? probably not. The policeman should be able to do whatever he wants and have control of that situation. he didn't. police = epic fail.

  • the cops can film you on road wars and cops with cameras ect, but you cant film them?

    i wish theyd all fuck off and die, their all a load of pricks.

  • yeah and wait until your bike gets stolen then who are you gunna moan to.

    look hes got fucking guns and shit in the car and plus if your a cock on the road then fuck off and die

  • We are heading for a facist state and most people can't see it. Freedoms are being erroded on tha back of false terrorist threats. You have more chance os sneezing yourself to death than being killed by a terrorist in the UK- FACT.

  • What difference it makes, is weapons in marked or unmarked car? If U want to steal them, U can break windows on both of the cars. If the policemen is in public place, U can take pictures. If unmarked police car is in publik place, U can take pictures of it. But if policeman orders U to delete the pictures, and explanes why, U have to erase them. Thats the law.

  • im on the cops side. its a registered firearms vehicle and by taking a photo tht contains the registration plate you are putting there safety at risk. if criminals know it contains firearms they could break in and try and steal them so over all you are putting everyones safety at risk because your photo could lead to criminals getting police standard firearms and using them against the public

  • lol someone had a bad day.

  • he was very persistant finding out what powers the copper had taken his camera under

  • nah he was just an annoying cunt :|

  • i can see what the police were saying becuase when you actully think about it how much fire power is actually in that car and anyway they werent speed checking they could of been there ready to get a fucking terrorist! and motorcycle new has became wankers like this some bikers are twats like car drivers van lorries and the rest

  • bullshit they probably only had a MP5 and a Glock in their, its not like they had a big rifle in the car. a car at 60 is probably more dangerous.

  • MCN acting like little kids. Grow up and have some respect. How could you not understand what the officer was saying?

  • Or you could just legalize fire arms again instead of restricting the rights of the law abiding citizens and giving the criminals the upper hand and this wouldn't be such a problem.

  • legalize firearms in the house hold and not allowed on the public streets or public places. I don't think allowing everyone to walk around with a firearm would be the wisest choice this country has ever made

  • Get out there and deal with the real fucking criminals you soft option choosing GUTLESS FUCKWITS!!!!!

  • death by camrea

  • what a knob

  • lol they tried to seize my aprilia rs50 when i was doing 40 in a 40 zone lol its illeagle aparenty ? my verichle is capable of doing that speed then i should forfill that speed. but yea there pricks i hate them a few of my mates are coppers but not nob heads like that

  • fuck the pigs.. that pig is a fucking prick and if you read this you pig fuck you....

  • Cops get out of line with the law just like the rest of us.

  • That cop has a job that requires his car to be hidden, if it circulates to the media this car/van is a firearms cop car, it WILL put the officers at risk! the MCN guy should have understood this and been the better man. NO the cop had no right to take the property.

  • should be a procedure then where the licence plate of the fire-arm unit changes daily (or more), but is registered and sceduled with the police, and if it gets reported..etc, or they need to use the licence plate to trace it, all they have to do is tell the police the licence plate, and they can still look up what vehicle it was? If its such a risk, then its a bad idea having the static plate, because a terroist could just follow the car and write it down. They dont have to take a picture.

  • I hate police

  • If he doesnt want to be at risk why join the Police?!!!

  • Jeopardizing my safety ? Never heard that one before. Same line they`ll use when they start tazering us. Sir put that KITKAT on the floor or I will tazer you. What a bunch of twats no wonder nobody likes them. Thats why you here cheering when a cop gets twatted.

  • Well, just arm all coppers and then they wouldnt be a target or whatever.

    Can someone explain to me why in all of Europe and most of the world coppers are all armed but not here, cant work out why were different.

  • piggy cunts, go deal with some real crime!!!

  • mcn makes new friends once again

  • The thing is there are good and bad every. But think of the two reasons why someone would become a police officer.

    Some truely want to do good. But some are frustrated bullies

    Hopefully they are in the minority. Its at the interview stage they should be weeded out. So train the interviewer to a very very high standards, then we will respect the job they do, and it will work for us all , unlike this stupid situation about us Bikers Happy days

  • WANKERS!!!!!!

  • why would a copper with a gun be there?

    More so, why antagonize a copper with a gun?

    Why point the camera in his face?

    Why take a picture when he request not to has been made?

    Whatever reason the armed police are there, do you really think they would tell you why ? I wouldn't I would lie to the back teeth and ask you to move along.

    Sensationalistic journalism at it's worse and pandering only to feed the ego of the reporter.... major fail.

  • So, the police wonder why they have no support or respect from the general public, let alone bikers, M'lud I rest my case!!!!

  • When the watchmen won't consent to being watched, you've got trouble.

  • what the hell is a firearms vehicle??

  • In the uk not all cops are armed only a select few, hence the firearms vehicle which can respond when all the unarmed ones have been shot dead.

  • And the cop cars are marked as to which ones are armed?? THat's really stupid!

  • Another video on youtube of fuckin silly attitude police, find real threats and help real victims not hassle people living there every day life!

    Fuck off silly cunts...

  • ok, after posting i just read through the comments. I would like to add...If I was the officer in that situation where the guy just keeps winding him up, I would have arrested him under the terrorism laws regarding taking pics of cops. I'd have took him into custody and filed him, interviewed him ,and took his prints. Let CPS decide his fate and await a request from his editor for a response, which would be on the lines of, "arrested coz he's a knob", but with a pollitically correct slant on it.

  • In this instance I am with the police.

    The reporter is antagonising the situation to deliberatly determine a negative image of the officer.

    Why he even published this is beyond reasoning, it is a non event. This guy is just trying to gain a bit of kudos , I feel he failed in that and just made himself out to be a knob. Why would a copper with a gun be there? well if you know it's not for you, then move along sonny, simple. Respect to the officers involved.

  • he wasn't messin with them go more than likely they were out working on something? is that possible? Not sure they the police ended up in a picture but the idea of taking the camera and using military or police force for illegal use is inappropriate I wouldn't expect that from foreign police US police yes but guess that shows that police everywhere are willing to overstep their bounds at will

  • FUCK THE POLICE!!!

  • Why was your guy messing with the cop? I think it looks bad for MCN.

  • This is great. The police happily provided an overreacting idiot for the MCN to record!

    He was obviously thinking he's the big I am, sodding off when he realised that someone would dare question what the hell he was doing.

  • Hey, at least you aren't in the US... we're big on constitutional rights and tazing people. I suspect you would've received the latter.

  • dude anyone can take a picture of anything and in the end if that car was parked and in the background of a photo who is going ot know the damn difference if its a firearms vehicle or not!

  • Comment removed

  • why take a picture of them?

  • He seemed happy enough to tell a perfect stranger to him that he was on a fire arms job.

  • Jajaja, You are right, so funny....

  • For a bike journo to be taking pics of a plod car there's got to be a reason.

    Most likely this "firearms car" was being used to target speeders or people with dark visors, loud exhausts and other minor stuff. MCN and others generally take pics of this abuse of power to show their readers what to expect - much like the speed camera in the horse box.

    Maybe if the firearms car was used to prevent CRIME instead of annoying people who are hurting no one this wouldn't have happened.

  • Comment removed

  • So it takes a firearms trained officer and an unmarked hiding to make the roads safe from dangerous speeders while other crimes like assault with a weapon, house burglary, etc continue to rise?

    Do you also think that terrorists can't find a plod in an unmarked car if it mattered to them that much? What use is it anyway?

    If they put half the effort into tackling the crime people want gone they would get a lot better press than this constant easy target waste of resources they insist on.

  • Comment removed

  • You are well within your rights to take a picture of a cop and a cop car and post it in the public domain.

    The minute you start trading your liberties for security, you will lose both.

  • Comment removed

  • Again you're wrong. The press has every right to publish any photos they take in the public, yes, even photos of cops in cop cars. The allegation that taking photos of cops in public puts them at risk has been struck down time and again in the courts.

    Motorcyclenews is a press outlet.

  • Comment removed

  • Again, YOU'RE WRONG.

    Section 76 DOES NOT APPLY to images taken IN THE PUBLIC.

    Section 76 applies to images taken inside parlimentary buildings, commercial properties, or other targets of interest outside public view.

    Taking a picture of a UNIFORMED COP on the side of the road does not put him at risk as he is already in clear view in the public.

  • Comment removed

  • he doesnt want it to be recognised as a police car , what kind of fancy dress outfit was he wearing then ? my god they do make them stupid at hendon

  • OK, so the cop is trying to explain that he doesn't want to his vehicle to be recognized as a police vehicle? It is pretty clear it was important to him the picture not be taken. Why was it so important to you to take it? Just because he said not to? Just because you have a legal right to take some picture doesn't mean it is the right thing to do. If somebody doesn't want their pic taken that badly, don't be an arse, listen to them, whether they are a cop or not.

  • he doesnt have the legal right to tae a picture of a policeman. shit aint it

  • I'm pretty sure it is illegal to photograph police. VERY dodgy but hey; Nanny state, like banning protests outside houses of parliament.

  • dumb fucking video, thanks for wasting my time.

  • dumb fucking comment, thanks for wasting my time

  • good one buddy, good one.

  • Scary to think an unintelligent fuckwit like this is permitted by law to carry a firearm!

    Now after all that bollocks youve gone and found yorself on youtube!

    DUMB TWAT!!!!!!!!!!!

    hope your commanding officer wiped the fucking floor with you or even better has given you a career change and has you mopping it!!!

  • Comment removed

  • I suggest you understand that he counter terrorism act is intended to avert terrorism - the clue being in the name.

    Its been used as a blanket of bullshit since it came out and its starting to hold little weight in cases like this where its totally inappropriate,

  • The thing is we pay there wages, to do a job for us to uphold the law and order of this country. It would appear that our Civil Servents need reminding of this. So dear MP's, can you also do your job please Or I will get into Politics, and will do the job for you, Roger Lowrey. MD Lowrey Contractors Ltd Bristol.

    I am fed up with the poor leardership we now have it's time for change.

  • Careful what change you end up with. In the US, we are getting change, alright. I'm not sure how much more of it we can survive. Just be careful you know who is doing the changing and in what direction they are taking things.

  • attention whore

  • which Vehicle?

  • Give a man a badge and he thinks he rules the world! It's idiots like him that causes people to loose respect for the police.

  • as you guys would say... "tossers!" man cops mess with anyone and everyone, just never at the right time or place. always fucking with the innocent or somewhere along those lines while the guilty and real crimes just dribble through the cracks

  • big brother is watching...cause it gives him a paycheck so he can pay his mortgage and feed his family and take care of his kids.

  • and pay for his dog food, laundry bills, second house in Jamaica, all his shopping bills, engagement rings.... etc.

  • FUCK DA POLICE.

  • Comment removed

  • Ok, what is a firearms car and what makes them so special?

  • a car that had mp4 riffles usaly with sight lights and sometimes a silancer plus a few 9mm just for them to look gangster when usual they fly around in bmw 5 series not shity vw shannan,s

  • There's no such weapon as an MP4, plus they're using G36C now

  • maybe he meant MP4 as in MPEG 4, like the camera is a weapon

  • nevermind, i read the comment youre talking about... lol

  • Good Job Mcn That was great

    that cop got owned

  • i wonder why mcn didn't put the start of the conversation...cop says at the start of the video that he talked to him "happily" at the start...so why dont mcn shows that...maybe because the mcn guy just wanted to cause a problem???

  • Comment removed

  • Dude, in the US they pose for us while we take pictures of buddies getting tickets....HAHHA

  • god UK cops are bigger assholes, then US ones. hahahaha you have Firearms cars thats funny all police here have a gun at all time's even bike cops.

  • cops are meant to be disciplined arent they? if they are they should know not to over react

  • Power monger. Ignorant as pig $hit really.

  • Sounds like a shitbird bloke, he was obviously a rookie. At least he has a nice haircut.

  • New World Order - Police State Everywhere, cops are nothing more than tax collectors and bullies.

  • what a tosser

  • theres one word the sums that officer up, arsehole
