The police response in this has been a JOKE. I'm not saying if the guys arrest was right or wrong, but seriously? Nearly 10 minutes from arrest to get the guy into a vehicle? Both those coppers were mega scruffy (where's that female officers stabproof vest?).. the two police that came afterwards took lightyears to respond as well.
I'm definitely not saying taser or batter him with a baton or do anything else to harm him, but they definitely weren't assertive enough.
@GMPresents I said 'assertive' - not 'aggressive'. Assertive is that silver line between being a total walk over and a violent cunt. Don't make absurd assumptions about what I do or don't favour, but one thing I do favour is a police force that is there to serve, protect and keep the peace and do their job efficiently. But I'm sure this translates to in your extremist protester mentally as "authoritarian" or "totalitarian".
@ThrexyX said But I'm sure this translates to in your extremist protester mentally as "authoritarian" or "totalitarian".
Not at all. I believe the police force have many areas that require immediate improvement and I welcome the day when they are respected as peace keepers by those, like myself, who tend to mistrust them due to their actions of late.
@GMPresents What do you think a police force should be, though? Assuming you're not another deluded fantasist who believes a civilised society can function without one.
Our police are actually relatively calm and profession compared to the cops in the U.S.A. and continental Europe - where they carry handguns and give you a good kick-in if they want to. Is that the police force you want?
@ThrexyX we had a better police force in the past, one that was more in touch with the common man rather than a bootlicking lapdog of government and it's ill-conveived legistlation. I believe it's up to every individual member of the police to question the rules being placed before them. Laws concerning stop and search, anti-terrorism, forced DNA swabbing, etc, were questionable from the get-go, so if government cannot be responsible with their powers, the police damn well should be.
@GMPresents Lol. No. The police force in the past (I assume you mean the 1960's-1980's era) was not only institionally racist back then (you were a police magnet for searches, quizzes oh and yes good kick-in too if you were black young man), but there was a lot of internal corruption and the police were really the defenders of the middle class and above, they were used as political tools to keep the working class in their place.
@GMPresents Just look at the Miners Strike in the 1980's - they were Thatcher's lapdogs and had no qualms about kicking the shit out of the protesters and letting the army dress up as them. Individually some police officers may have been friendly chaps - which is why they're remembered so idyllic, but the police as a whole, particularly from the inside had a massive canteen culture, which today largely no longer exists because the police are held more accountable for their actions.
@ThrexyX Anyways, just to add - the legislation you refer to was (mostly) brought out by the last Labour Government in the myst of terrornoia as I call it, backed by largely what is media support. The police have no choice but to enforce what is written on the books, you just have to trust them to use their discretion.
@ThrexyX the police are controlled by government, so it's government that needs to be changed. But, every police officer must take responsibility for their actions, and that means questioning orders if need be. Sure, they may lose their jobs if they continue toi rock the boat, but if they're not true to themselves then how can they be true to the public whom they're charged with protecting?
@GMPresents The problem is there's two sides to every story. Some people (seemingly you as well) think this lad getting arrested is an act of oppression, some people would think he's genuinely disturbing the peace and not really protesting, including the business. The police have to use their most important power (discretion) when dealing with these things and will make a decision based on what they see.
@ThrexyX If this lad was in the right, then he'd either be released without charge or had the case thrown out in court, he wouldn't have accepted a penalty ticket or a caution because he's innocent (I assume..). If he was in the wrong, well, he'd be charged and convicted or cautioned/paid a fixed penalty notice. Funnily enough it doesn't say what action he took...
Oh and yes I agree theres laws changing, but when only 30% of the population bother to vote, does it really surprise you?
The key phrase here is "Section 5 public order ACT" !!! Acts and statutes are not the same as laws so where is the police jurisdiction? I would be more on the side of the geezers protesting if they made people aware exactly HOW Thomas Cook violated these animal rights instead of them relying on a basic flat statement but that does not negate the essential right to protest.
@TheTaffGeezer I have been detained (*not* arrested - I have no criminal record) by the police, one was under a 136 and the other was for being drunk and incapable and I can tell you that handcuffs are painful and bruise everyones wrists, even when lightly applied.. I had wrist damage on my left hand for months.. it's classed as 'reasonable force' there's no way in hell you'd get compensation for this.
You are extremely lucky you wern't in the US because you probably have got tasered for the trouble you caused. In my mind you were just being complete prats
Firstly the turd with the camera has no idea of the difference between Importing and Exporting. Secondly, why do all animal rights protesting tree huggers look like they need a wash?
Do you honestly think any of the wierdo's that walk around the center of Gloucester are going to give a shit about animal testing, i am all for animal testing and so are plenty others.
And tbh no one wants to hear your shitty opinion your just absolute nuisances, get a hobby.
Animal rights activists make me laugh lol, e.g you let lab animals out that have been bred in lab condisions and think you doing them a favour when really you just feeding the foxes, wheres the sence in that?
Red marks? If you press on your skin firmly, you get a red mark, divvy, its called blood under the skin...what a load of crap... And for a start most companies in the UK will have shares in some organisation that you consider doing something bad.. and for a start, your hairdye probably is there because it was made in that laboratory that the apes were tested on, how ironic, if you didnt buy stupid hairdye, we probably wouldnt use animals to test it on.

@ococircusboy Sorry, but in English law there is no offence of resisting arrest just by failing to comply. This has been tested time and time again and has always been proven to be the case. Going limp and refusing to help the police arrest you is legal. As long as you are passive and don't fight, no offence.
Don't get me wrong, I would totally comply with the police personally. I just thought it was a funny video. "Think like a stone" set me off giggling for ages! lol :)
haha class. only just seen this video. thankfully i've managed to to have free speach many times. without being arrested. i think thats due to the area i live in though. police are even MORE stupid here believe it or not. well done you lot, this was funny. :)
It's so easy to be a big man in a country where you have rights and we are policed by an extremely well trained and disciplined police force, well done mate good job! And for your information that is resisting arrest, s. 89 Police Act 1996, if you're going to quote 'facts' please get them right at least. Well done big man, good to know you're doing something worthwhile with your life.
@MRSstraightA Damn right it his... I don't like people appearing to quote fact when it is wrong... it's helpful to chek facts before misleading people.
The protesters here are typical of the middle class activists who routinely waste tax payers money in their abuse of the right to peaceful protest. Their continued cries of "you're twisting the handcuffs" when we can see (on their own video) that the Police Officer is not is particularly sad. I side with the police over these muppets every time! If you realy want to help, get a job in either law or conservation. I did.
Could you please do something more constructive with the money my taxes are allowing you to collect each week from the doll office? And stop being such a bunch of retards! Who's the one who keeps talking about the money they're going to get? Is that what this was about really?
just not people like this who cause a right nuisance of themselves then make a scene with officers and start shouting out collar numbers to try and intimidate them, bit pathetic guys
The people in this video who are protesting are at fault here.
You have the right to protest. However in addition, the property owner (Thomas Cook) also has the right to it's property and the right to sell their trade. As you can see at the start of the video the officer talks to someone inside the shop. This is probably to confirm that this man has been a nuicance and has harrased this firm.
wow, from some of the comments on this video its clear that people have no problem with thowing their rights away. the street out side thomas cook is a public pavment. its our god given right to stand, film or protest. its called living in a free country. our forefathers fought and died for these liberties over 100's of years and now we are willing giving them away....lol. i guess our children will have to fight to get back what we idoits have given away.
@inspectorn im no expert on law, but a protest would be a nuicance to who or whatever they are protesting against. there is no proof of who the cop was talking to which most likely would be the store manager as for there property. he was not on there property. he was on a public path, did not see him block anyone from entering there place of business.
though to be fair since the footage was not all the way from when he arrived, so he could of been bloking or entering himself. i doubt it though
@inspectorn Harrasment, alarm and distress is only applicable when it is against an individual, not a business, corperation or organisation. He has the right to free speech.
@RuudVanDrijver 'Harrasment, alarm and distress is only applicable when it is against an individual, not a business, corperation or organisation.' WRONG. CorpOrations and orgs are made up of people, and those people have the legal protections of an individual when part of the corporation. Don't statement 'facts' when you know nothing about british law. Fuckwit.
@maureenOWW You're the fuckwit here. If the alarm,harrasment or distress was aimed at a paticular employee it would be illegal under Section 5, but you CANNOT be charged under section 5 for causing A,H, or D to a corperation. That's plainly stupid. Otherwise basic freedom of speech would be dead. Richard Dawkins would be arrested for causing the Catholic/Islamic?Hinhu religons distress. Republicans would be arrested for being against the monarchy and political protesters for distressing a party.
@RuudVanDrijver I did warn you not to keep making a fool of yourself, didn't I? And yet you did. So, here you go: religious groups are NOT corporations, CLEARLY. Do you even know what a corporation is? I mean you can't even spell it correctly (even when I correct you).
@inspectorn Incorrect. The area outside of a shop is a public right of way and is a public place. He can say anything he wants that is based upon facts until the days he dies and that is the entire point of freedom of speech. There is no right recognized by the court of a shop owner to ban ANY area of public space for the protesting against their establishment. Do you not understand that this is the entire point of going there? If you have to be miles from the shop, your protest does nought
@inspectorn said "the property owner (Thomas Cook) also has the right to it's property and the right to sell their trade"
We're not dealing with a small family business here, we're dealing with a large corporation that's guilty of animal mistreatment. You can quote the law until the blind, deformed cows come home, but when arguing this on moral grounds in the non-corporate arena, you'll have no case. So tell me, should corporate law preclude the highlighing of immoral crimes? Ask your soul.
all the protester could think of was the money.... this is no way to deal with the police... these officers were very professional... but the protester need to act more like adults and their message may just get across.
Great vid, dude make em work hard for there money for your right to protest ! IDid they caution you ? If they didnt then it was an illegel arrest. And did they slap a resist arrest on you?
Clearly you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about as the text you refer to comes mainly under Section 4(a) Public Order Act, specifically relating to signs. Signs are not included in Section 5. Well Done. Fail.
A person is guilty of an offence under section 5 only if he intends his words or behaviour, or the writing, sign or other visible representation, to be threatening, abusive or insulting.
Shocking conduct by the police again
They let certain muslims preach hate in the strret but people like you get nicked for this
i waas in london last week and there was some crazzzy chemical ali types ranting all types of hatred in the middle of the street and the police were there too but nothing happened to them????
The police are way to nice in the UK and polite.If the police tells you to do something do it! If the police is in the wrong then go complain to the officers office.
@tomspen100 'disgraceful behaviour by the police. everyone has a right to protest against something peacefully and thats exactly what he was doing.' - shouting in the street is 'peaceful' is it? I would have ripped his sign up on principle. Cunts.
Do u have anything that is going to cause injury to my colleges: Yea Handcuffs. GANGSTA. Funny how most people who have written comments who just seem straight ignorent, if u feel some sort of change is needed you should be able to talk about it, they should make a law on it and call it teh fredom of speech act.

Have u knob heads actually got jobs or any purpose for living? You want to protest, go to speakers corner and you won't get bothered by police. They have obviously been called there cos u have caused someone alarm, and thats all it takes to get arrested for s5 POA.
We cant have a dickhead on every corner in the country shouting about what they like can we. Did you just fancy a day out to piss people off then go home at your own leisure? Crustees, go back to your squat and eat your baked beans
looks like they imported some primates to stand around outside their shop. What a waste of police time. These people have no idea what is going on in the wider world. Fat, content, spoilt, lazy liberals.
whats so dirty about he police??? poor fuckers had to try and pick up that fat lazy excuse for a human being, bet he sweats for england.....lard arse!!!!!!
because they risk their lives for us, that's why- just think about it! they go out there every day and do something that benefits us- and call them pigs all you want cos pig stands for pride, integrity and guts
to my amazement this was a rather amusing video. . good on you for doing what you think is right. . . lets be honest. . doing that outside thomas cook shop really not going to achieve anything. . giving glostchester (sorry cant spell) police something to do for 25 mins yes but not really helping u campaign. .. maybe another approach??
I agree with your cause, i really do ! But, you animal rights protestors seem to think that you are different in some way. By protesting using images of pained animals in the middle of the street, can be upsetting to others, obviously, this is your plan after all. As such, you commit offences under S5 public order act. The officers were VERY tolerant and polite even when you became a complete twat. Have some respect for others, try respecting those who serve to protect u and your family !
Why did they arrest this guy to begin with?? He didn't seem to be doing anything different than any other protestor there. Same thing in the US, though--the government supports the AR abuse industry for financial reasons. Let the truth come out so that people can see what's really being done to animals and the AR movement would get a lot more support. It definitely has mine.
"It is not against the law to go limp. He is not resisting arrest". By going limp he is doing just that. Is he walking and being cooperative.
Typical example of those that don't care about the reason for the demonstration just attending to get into conflict and then post the footage on Youtube.
Pathetic. I've met lots of very nice people at Demos who are there to DEMONSTRATE PEACEFULLY. Not cause trouble.
Look forward to you responses. No swearing please - hse computer!
You are quite vitriolic in your comments on the numerous Police related postings on Youtube. Tell us why that is? Were you stop searched once an felt aggrieved by it or something? Or is it, as I strongly suspect, that you just didn't make the grade and were refused entry to the cops? Your general demeanour suggests the recruiters were correct to refuse you. Were all friends here, you can tell us.
You see, I'm quite concerned that the hate is going to eat you up. ;)
To be fair it doesn't matter either way.... the 'hate the system unless it works for me group' are on board here!!!!
As you know, even at demos you can't reason with these anti-establishment individuals..... however, all the usual crowd (who are extremely nice) who genuinely believe in their causes and in peaceful protest do make it all worth while.
What's up? Am I not aloud to take an interest and comment on police issues? Do you just like people sucking on the cathode ray nipple digesting all the pro cop shows on there and not being able to comment?
:) Anyway if you are going to ask such impertinent questions, maybe I should be under caution and I would like legal representation :) you know how it goes
Why are YOU so vitriolic on cop issues on yt? Is it a hobby or just part of your job?
Me, stalking you..... I fear that it is you following me round the YT.....
Fun though, isn't it????!
Thats the whole point though isn't it.... free speech is great but when other hijack the opportunity such as at demos it kind of ruins it for all and doesn't resolve anything.... but thats the anarchist way!!!!
To clarify, no questions just statements in my last comments.
How can making comment on YT be hijacking it? You really are a conspiracy theorist fella and should try harder to support your comments.
No matter how much anyone tries to persuade you (and I suspect even if they showed you with irrefutable evidence) you would still disagree.... the only agenda is yours.... the anti-Police agenda....
You see, I'm more than happy to have a debate with someone, and with banter but you do seem to have such a strong dislike for the cops that doesn't seem justified - certainly your statements don't hold much water.
Joking aside, I do feel a little saddened if you really are like this in real life and I really, really hope that you just do this for 'kicks'.
Not that you care, but a lot of us do the job for the community and to make it better for all, not to satify a perverted pleasure.
Wow Fishyfishbone..... that is more than a little bite!!!! Ouch!!!!!
I think you should either read my comments again or look up the term vitriolic cos you're well off base there..... Tell you what, I'll save you the job..... you seem to be filled with hate - perhaps not enough cuddles as a child.....
But hey, you are entitled to your opinion and what objective, pragmatic and polite opinion it is too.....
an officer can only arrest under section 5 of the POA on suspicion that a section 5 offence is in the process of being committed. An officer cannot arrest on suspicion that a section 5 had previously been committed. Under this instance the officer can only report the facts to the crown for possible prosectution at a later date. Read the Public Order Act and then look at case law and you will see that the arrested persons behavior does not constitute a section 5 offence at the time of arrest.
it may be that something happend before the camera started, we don't know. From the fact that the film maker doesn't subsequently say that the arrest was found to be unlawful I will assume that the arrest was upheld? I would expect the protestors to be bragging about it if the arrest was found to be unlawful. I wasn't there so I don't know
Pre 2005 police had a power of arrest for s5 once they had warned you, otherwise they needed a reason to arrest rather than summons. Post 2005 almost no offences have a power of arrest having had them revoked. s24 PACE now covers all offences and a reason to arrest is required, ie. for prompt investigation by way of interview, or some other reason a summons would not be practicable. An officer may certainly arrest a person for s5POA that he suspects to be committing or has committed the offence
There is an offence of Assault with intent to resist arrest, however it is clear this has not been committed. We do not see what led upto the arrest and it would seem to have been made after information from somebody inside the shop. Once arrested I would say his behaviour amounts to 'obstructing a police officer in the execution of his duty' For this offence the original arrest would have to be proved lawful (note you can be not guilty and still have been arrested lawfully)

what a complete and utter pillock. If he was seriously concerned about Thomas Cook he would have gone to their HQ and organsied a proper protest, his only concern was how much money he was going to get from the "unlawful" arrest and all that crap about the officer "twisting the handcuffs"
Dan 101uk, Totally agree mate, I love their naivety during the whole thing, espcially the bit "Boycott Gloucestershire Constabulary!". Yeah, what would you do if you got threatened with violence in town? Sort it out yourself because you've boycotted the police? Not a chance, you would call them in a nano second, asking for help. These lads need to spend a few days seeing what the police deal with on a daily basis, before they start throwing their childish antics around
they had a good idea to protest but when the police asked them to go away they should have gone , because after that point its not about thomas cook anymore , it becomes about being stubborn and wasting your own and police time.
So when the cops try to stop lawful and peaceful protest, we should just do what they say? What about standin up for your right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly? Your right to have an opinion?
If you just do what the police say, theyll start abusin their powers even more, doin even more unlawful things because they know theyll be able to get away with it.
I agree we shouldn't be fighting the cops but we have to stand up for our rights too when they're blatantly breakin the law.
Da Mans Not DSin Nuthing Rong! he Gets Arrested! i hate police I Dun Care if Dey Die! So What Dey Shudnt Involve Dem Selves Wid Buisness Dat Aint Got Nuthin 2 Do Wid Dem!
Fucken good on them! All you idiots complaining about them; you just live in your little bubble of ignorance, you don't realise that its people like this that are trying to make the world a better place for you too. It's the police that are wasting resources not these lads.
All I can say is the FAT fucker and all his mates doing the video should be shot ! wasting police resource like this and thinking its funny ! Lets see who they call next time they get robbed !
The police were wasting their resources. The protesters didn't ask them to be there and it was a peaceful, lawful protest - the cops had no reason to be there.
maybe the completely innocent Thomas Cook staff objected to be harrassed like that? Or someone else on the High Street maybe? The only thing these "protestors" are concerned about is how much money they can get from the "illegal" arrest
They don't ask the cops to be there - for all they know the cops won't even turn up, so they obviously don't start their day expecting an unlawful arrest.
Noone was caused any harassment. The protesters were standing there with placards and barely even shouting. To be arrested under S5 you have to be using insulting, threatening, abusive language/behaviour, none of which were used.
If you feel harassed by something as mild as a few people with placards maybe you shouldnt leave the house.
The police response in this has been a JOKE. I'm not saying if the guys arrest was right or wrong, but seriously? Nearly 10 minutes from arrest to get the guy into a vehicle?

Do you honestly think any of the wierdo's that walk around the center of Gloucester are going to give a shit about animal testing, i am all for animal testing and so are plenty others.
And tbh no one wants to hear your shitty opinion your just absolute nuisances, get a hobby.

Red marks? If you press on your skin firmly, you get a red mark, divvy, its called blood under the skin...what a load of crap... And for a start most companies in the UK will have shares in some organisation that you consider doing something bad.. and for a start, your hairdye probably is there because it was made in that laboratory that the apes were tested on, how ironic, if you didnt buy stupid hairdye, we probably wouldnt use animals to test it on.

@ococircusboy Sorry, but in English law there is no offence of resisting arrest just by failing to comply. This has been tested time and time again and has always been proven to be the case. Going limp and refusing to help the police arrest you is legal. As long as you are passive and don't fight, no offence.
Don't get me wrong, I would totally comply with the police personally. I just thought it was a funny video. "Think like a stone" set me off giggling for ages! lol :)

The people in this video who are protesting are at fault here.
You have the right to protest. However in addition, the property owner (Thomas Cook) also has the right to it's property and the right to sell their trade. As you can see at the start of the video the officer talks to someone inside the shop. This is probably to confirm that this man has been a nuicance and has harrased this firm.

wow, from some of the comments on this video its clear that people have no problem with thowing their rights away. the street out side thomas cook is a public pavment. its our god given right to stand, film or protest. its called living in a free country. our forefathers fought and died for these liberties over 100's of years and now we are willing giving them away....lol. i guess our children will have to fight to get back what we idoits have given away.

@inspectorn im no expert on law, but a protest would be a nuicance to who or whatever they are protesting against. there is no proof of who the cop was talking to which most likely would be the store manager as for there property. he was not on there property. he was on a public path, did not see him block anyone from entering there place of business.
though to be fair since the footage was not all the way from when he arrived, so he could of been bloking or entering himself. i doubt it though

@RuudVanDrijver 'Harrasment, alarm and distress is only applicable when it is against an individual, not a business, corperation or organisation.' WRONG.

Don't statement 'facts' when you know nothing about british law. Fuckwit.
maureenOWW 8 months ago
@maureenOWW You're the fuckwit here. If the alarm,harrasment or distress was aimed at a paticular employee it would be illegal under Section 5, but you CANNOT be charged under section 5 for causing A,H, or D to a corperation. That's plainly stupid. Otherwise basic freedom of speech would be dead. Richard Dawkins would be arrested for causing the Catholic/Islamic?Hinhu religons distress. Republicans would be arrested for being against the monarchy and political protesters for distressing a party.

In short, you are a fuckwit, stop typing.
maureenOWW 8 months ago
@inspectorn Incorrect. The area outside of a shop is a public right of way and is a public place. He can say anything he wants that is based upon facts until the days he dies and that is the entire point of freedom of speech. There is no right recognized by the court of a shop owner to ban ANY area of public space for the protesting against their establishment. Do you not understand that this is the entire point of going there? If you have to be miles from the shop, your protest does nought

@inspectorn said "the property owner (Thomas Cook) also has the right to it's property and the right to sell their trade"
We're not dealing with a small family business here, we're dealing with a large corporation that's guilty of animal mistreatment. You can quote the law until the blind, deformed cows come home, but when arguing this on moral grounds in the non-corporate arena, you'll have no case. So tell me, should corporate law preclude the highlighing of immoral crimes? Ask your soul.

an officer can only arrest under section 5 of the POA on suspicion that a section 5 offence is in the process of being committed. An officer cannot arrest on suspicion that a section 5 had previously been committed. Under this instance the officer can only report the facts to the crown for possible prosectution at a later date. Read the Public Order Act and then look at case law and you will see that the arrested persons behavior does not constitute a section 5 offence at the time of arrest.

it may be that something happend before the camera started, we don't know.

Pre 2005 police had a power of arrest for s5 once they had warned you, otherwise they needed a reason to arrest rather than summons. Post 2005 almost no offences have a power of arrest having had them revoked. s24 PACE now covers all offences and a reason to arrest is required, ie. for prompt investigation by way of interview, or some other reason a summons would not be practicable. An officer may certainly arrest a person for s5POA that he suspects to be committing or has committed the offence
blick5bn 3 years ago
There is an offence of Assault with intent to resist arrest, however it is clear this has not been committed. We do not see what led upto the arrest and it would seem to have been made after information from somebody inside the shop. Once arrested I would say his behaviour amounts to 'obstructing a police officer in the execution of his duty' For this offence the original arrest would have to be proved lawful (note you can be not guilty and still have been arrested lawfully)

So when the cops try to stop lawful and peaceful protest, we should just do what they say? What about standin up for your right to freedom of speech, freedom of assembly? Your right to have an opinion?
If you just do what the police say, theyll start abusin their powers even more, doin even more unlawful things because they know theyll be able to get away with it.

The police were wasting their resources. The protesters didn't ask them to be there and it was a peaceful, lawful protest - the cops had no reason to be there.
Love the personal insult aswell...very mature.

maybe the completely innocent Thomas Cook staff objected to be harrassed like that? Or someone else on the High Street maybe? The only thing these "protestors" are concerned about is how much money they can get from the "illegal" arrest

They don't ask the cops to be there - for all they know the cops won't even turn up, so they obviously don't start their day expecting an unlawful arrest.
Noone was caused any harassment. The protesters were standing there with placards and barely even shouting. To be arrested under S5 you have to be using insulting, threatening, abusive language/behaviour, none of which were used.
If you feel harassed by something as mild as a few people with placards maybe you shouldnt leave the house.
