Security Guard Harrass Photographer

[cruekid2001]

Another inbred cunt in uniform trying to play plod.

[bozolazic]

What got his nickers in a knot?

[Mr123bohemian]

hope you done him for assualt

[robin22357]

God i would of knocked that security guard the fuck out and stomped on his face

[1GodOnlyOne]

"Security guards" have no authority to detain anyone in public places, nor do they have the authority to touch anyone without consent.

This "security guard" clearly assaulted you, and you should bring criminal charges against him, as well as suing him personally, and suing whatever rinky-dink outfit he works for.

[stubones]

@DaMaxxy Not having a go at you, but when in public anyone has the right to to film or photograph you and if you attack them you are the criminal. You have no right to expect privacy in public. that is the law. However, if you ask the photographer not to take pictures of you, they should respect your wishes. If they continue against your wishes it might be a different story :)

[toptrichs]

stab that piece o shit in the face with a pitch fork ,then feed him to the pigs as swill..his family must have been awful proud of him...imagine the story he conjoured up on the way home on the bus,,hahahhis wife /husband /pimp must think hes a superhero.

[Tzimnewman3]

The guard has no authority to detain anyone unless its a crime. From this incident you can cliam for Assault and loss of liberty.

[sinravo]

if anyone takes pictures of me they get a choice, delete the pictures or lose the camera, anything after that is their fault

[sinravo]

@GTVAlfaMan Probably prison... I'm glad that where I work you can't take pictures without permission... Can't even get on the site without permission

[24Gucho]

damn, i was thinking of visiting Britain with my camera.

[MrHaynestrainvideos]

What a twat he is doing something like this to these photographers in the street harassing them. If he did something like this to me I'll explain to him that he needs to change his f**king attitude problem. England is a country whereas its a free country we are not like as we are terrorists from the other side of the world we are only just photographers taking snapshots without being harassed by him.

[j1mf1eld]

Prick

[mikesmith1007]

should have just hit the ugly cunt... he is only a security guard ffs... not only do we live in a police state but also a security state

[bigearsboy]

TWAT..! At the end of the day he has no right to stop these guys.... I bet he was bullied in school poor love... As soon as he touched me I would have hit the twat so hard he would have cried to his mummy

[yuowatcher]

UK... You guys gave up your gun rights... Try to do that, say, in Texas in US, you will learn how loaded gun helps person to protect his rights.

[YellingInMyEar]

@yuowatcher Sorry, but are you mental? In what way would a loaded gun ever help in a situation like this apart from fucking kill someone? One thing about you Americans is that you genuinely believe a gun can solve your problems. England is a peaceful island nation, we see no rational use in machine gunning our problems away. Perhaps you can make your claim stand up a bit more when your country isn't quite so blighted by an utterly abominable gun crime statistic.

[yuowatcher]

@YellingInMyEar Well, go ahead and argue this with Swiss. They all are armed, and their society is as polite as neither US nor UK can't even dream to have. Then we'll discuss who of us two is mental and in what sense.

But I guess we never will find common grounds, as, as it seems to me, you are more likely the one who helped (by your own "believes") the government to disarm the population. Only thing left to you is to ask government to protect your rights - which you don't care to do yourself.

[YellingInMyEar]

@yuowatcher boneheaded arrogant conservative rhetoric as is status quo for the American right.

At no point did I mention anything about my rights or beliefs, I was merely pointing out that no English person would ever, ever genuinley want to bring firearms into this at all in any way shape or form. I told you we are a peaceful,modest people. Please stop making it seem like England is an automaton nation with no freedom. If you are as arrogant as you seem, i'd wager that you've never been here.

[yuowatcher]

@YellingInMyEar I agree with all you said about me.

You are happy with your freedoms, fine. You can find in England those who don't. And they were ruled out of their rights by MAJORITY; in US, to the contrary, rights of individual can not be infringed by majority, in this respect we are farther away from communist order. Yet, slipping gradually towards what you have. English for centuries were not peaceful people, concurred many places, I'm grateful: thanks to that we speak English language here

[blackninjastrike]

0:52 Greggs the bakers! :D

[housedadtrains]

i wonder if the security guard would honour our privacy and turn off the cctv cameras that perv on us as we go about our daily buissiness?

[THUMPBUMPDUDE]

I did touch you, yeah

Then sir, that is assault

[Black0bi]

Does he still work there?.............the dickhead.

[EmpireLS56KW]

What is this? A fucking rent a pig now doing security. I’m amazed the video ended up on youtube for two years! To take pictures to freely advertise to the world come and visit this warm welcoming town. Better still forget about coming to our loving hostile town its got rough security guards that like to push you around if you’re taking holiday pictures. This bullshit would be unheard of 10 or 20 yeas ago, unheard of! Its cunts like Blair that has turned this county upside down.

[badpanda84]

@EmpireLS56KW "This bullshit would be unheard of 10 or 20 yeas ago, unheard of"

yes but Youtube and facebook where also unheard of 10 or 20 years ago.

[ozzirt]

Give a some idiots an ounce of authority and it goes right to their head.

Just walk right through him.

[stevo7790]

that isnt in a shopping centre though its on the street which is a public place, and therefore there is NO law stopping you filming whatever you like! end of!

[vicious12394]

actually if you were filming in a shopping center you are filming on private property and have to ask permission before you can film. So if a security guard asks you to stop filming you have to.

[29649ron]

Criminal offence committed when the guard touched him.without power to detain.

Good job it was not me he tried to stop or he would be arrested for assault on the spot

[badpanda84]

@29649ron "Criminal offence committed when the guard touched him.without power to detain'

lol where did you hear that BS from.  SO if a security guard has to use phyiscal force to eject a drunk from a bar ( or even a supermarket) without detaining him is that also a crimal offence

[travelsonic]

@badpanda84 A bit obtuse aren't we?

[JCHandJobLover]

Wankers

[Cokecakepopcorn]

If he doesn't want to be recorded that is his right ...its not human rights gone mad...its just basic

[paddy6062]

he looks like a day release nut job 

[yngp7]

Has this little Hitler been sacked???

[spursloyal71]

What a horrible little wanker ! I bet (in another life) he made sure the trains to Aushwtz ran on time!

[inkey2]

@spursloyal71 I am an American and need the specific meaning of "wanker" (a brit term i assume)........I need to start using that term, I like the way it rolls off the tongue

[spursloyal71]

@inkey2 Wanker ie idiot , silly person , Gordon Brown , = jerk!

[manchester26m]

@inkey2 Might be a bit late with this, but a wanker is someone who masturbates.

Which kinda makes us ALL wankers, but well... Thats what it is.

[maxlogica]

video ended at the critical moment, looked and sounded like someone came running up

[NurEineStimme]

I don't think anyone can make a judgment either way on this situation since the whole story is not given. Based on the video description, I wonder what part of the story has been left out to demonize the officer and glorify the photographers.

[roaringwaterbay]

@NurEineStimme or perhaps glorify the rent-a-cop and demonize a free citizen. 

[NurEineStimme]

@roaringwaterbay ??? Just the opposite is done in this video. Sort of my point (duh).

[badpanda84]

@NurEineStimme " I wonder what part of the story has been left out to demonize the officer and glorify the photographers"

Exactly and you wonder why they object to people taking photos

[chalenger42]

Security dont have the right to detain, they cant even request your name and touching oh dear XD They can call the police and thats about it.

[samten10a]

As I understand: there is a difference between public and private property in regards to photography. If they can detain you or not. If they can use force or not.

[trailertrashrnr]

so what happened? I hate these videos that leave you hanging

[chompychomps]

So what happened?

[sakkurae]

i feel so sorry for that 68kg man who could be brought down with a bitch slap... im so sorry he dont understand what he is doing.

fucking his own families future by killing thier freedoms.. im soo sorry, i feel pity

[sakkurae]

someone should make a video game where these cops come and say you cant film and then you can just whip them off the screen.

[anguspaula]

so it sounds like you know from first hand that vigulance is needed and this guy is doin just that ,if his actions provent something bad happaning then it cant realy be that wrong and yes to the cam question why? and why am i disgusting your the one that thinks the guy was out of order for being vigulant

[trilliouk]

HERE IS THE TRUTH......

I am a BA Media student at Teesside University. Recently we had to meet with a counter terrorism unit. As some people will be aware terrorists use anyone they can to photograph places with a high concentration of people to plot targets.

PCSO's, PC's and security gaurds have been ordered to ask you to wait while they confirm who you are and what your filming. Surely you can understand this. We all know that 99.9% of the time its innocent. Just accept protection.

[motherwellloyal]

Im going down there on some point this week, im going to look for this rat and see if he tries to detain me he looks pissed anyways.

I was detained by local police where i live under section 44 of the terrorist act they then said i was tresspassing, but iwas soon let go when i informed them that in scotland there is no tresspass law the only crime they can do u for is a breach of the peace

[muzzamorrey]

it looked to me that place was a shopping mall these are often privately owned. therfor when the guard asked you to stop taking pictures it was becuase the rules of entering the premis says you cant take photos etc. he can assist you with leaving the premis (by force) as you are a tresspasser. he can detain you under human rights act if you photo him or record him for the police to come and delete the images of your camera.

[travelsonic]

"he can detain you under human rights act if you photo him or record him"

Really? Sounds like bullshit to me.

[maori69skux1]

no he cant u egg fuck some people talk shit ur allowed to film him its not against human rights at all i looked it up he can only tell you to not film him but he cant enforce that and detain u

[georgef551]

I would've simply straffed side-to-side, ever so slowly creeping towards the street. Eventually, you'll have a hole to escape from.

[XxBec3509]

what a nazi ,,,people like this bring shame on us all ! ,, tought we had wars regarding these issues ,,(freedom)

[101jumpit]

i would have knocked the fukka clean out !!!

[anguspaula]

funny how most of the comments belowe are in support of the guy taking pics ,hase any one thought maybe he was taking pics of you kids and the gaurd was trying to detain him so police could check him out or maybe he was taking pics of security cams and alarms (possible terrorist) no one knows or should he let the guy go WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

[azonicone]

What would I do? Be less suspicious of everyone and everything that the government and the press tell you. You read the daily mail don't you? Maybe you should learn to spell a little better before criticizing other people comments.

[anguspaula]

so my spelling is wrong what has that got to do with owt ,and as for reading the daily mail no i dont but you probrbly do as your more interested in my spelling than the actual reasons for the way this guy acted but never mind when a bomb blows your wife and kids up you might understad that what he did might have stopped it happening

[azonicone]

@anguspaula You are disgusting. As a boy I was on holiday with my parents in a certain town in northern Ireland on the 15th August 1988. Don't you dare lecture me about bombs. We are supposed to be a free society. I do what I want for the most part. If someone has an issue with that, that is their problem. Let me ask you, do you own a camera, still or video?

[brainstormnl]

pushing somobody = assault.

sue the fucker

[TheAMVV12]

That security guard assaulted the man with the camera.

[batmansjinlun]

how pussy has England got, if you even place your hand on some one its assault? thats weak.

and before you say anything im not american i live in brixton

[riocia18]

I would like to know something, what is wrong with taking photo's without anyone's permission, does it mean a tourist will not be able to take photo's of any building where there are poeple involved?

[paulewing81]

if it isnt a police state then when is it illegal to hold a demostration within a mile of westminster only one man in uk is allowed to protest good old brian haw !!!

[paulewing81]

what a tit assault and kinapping lol what happened next

its a public street !!!!

[pkscolax]

This isn't an example of the authorities harassing photographers, but rather a security guard invoking his privilege of requesting no pictures taken of his person. We need to see the rest of this footage.

[paulewing81]

bollox its the start of police state britain

[pkscolax]

You're base-jumping to conclusions.

[paulewing81]

am i what about london demos even if you were walking to work or a tourist not part of the demo they held you in the street wouldnt let you leave the area wtf HIGHLY ILLEGAL not to metion the murder/manslaughter of the guy walking away from police with his back to them with HANDS IN POCKETS??? btw he was a newspaper seller nothing to do wit riots

[MRSstraightA]

Nice hypothesis, but unfortunately for its veracity you would need to highlight where in the law it is stated that a person or persons in a public place can demand that he or she shall not appear on the images produced by other people's cameras.

[pkscolax]

Well, multiple countries have privacy laws to determine whether photographers can take pictures of other people willy nilly. In the UK, however, Section 58 of the 2000 Terrorist Act makes photographing any enforcement personnel without their permission a criminal offense.

[MRSstraightA]

Read the act.

Under section 58 - it is an offence to photograph a member of Her Majesty's armed forces - the intelligence services or a constable - *for the use in terrorism.*

Otherwise you are free to photograph officers (et al) as you wish.

This man is not even a constable - but if he were he would still be in the wrong.

So he is just being an overly officious prick and has no power to "[invoke] his privilege of requesting no pictures taken of his person" because no such privilege exists.

[FeloniousMonk1234]

exactly mrs.straightA... persons have few rights if any, and most certainly do not have the right to demand anything, although they may request numerous things, which will likely be disregarded... it's all about YOUR OWN legal status and capacity, the Law has to be obeyed (the causing of harm/loss/dishonesty), statute law does not (it is only law if you consent, and thus give it the force of law)... right on mrs. A...

[FeloniousMonk1234]

oh and it was indeed assault, no-one is allowed to put their hands upon you without actually seeing and testifying that you have committed or were likely to commit a breach of the peace... and that goes for an actual peace officer(policeman) too... security guards are brought into disrepute by this chump above, he is outside of the Law, period...

[MRSstraightA]

Hell yeah !!

:)

[batmansjinlun]

every one has the right to NOT have thier picture taken at work so the photographer was breaking the law

[ozricii]

Your wrong. In a public place you can photograph anything for personal use. Children are another matter and rightly so and some Gov buildings also have restrictions.

[batmansjinlun]

No your wrong.

[ozricii]

No I'm not... Please prove me wrong... under what law could I be arrested for taking a photograph in a public place?

[batmansjinlun]

of some one WORKING in a public place. the humans right act.

you can take pictures of the job center every monday when u get there all u like mate

[wickstarr]

what law is that then ?

[batmansjinlun]

the human rights act maybe?

[ozricii]

Arh 'maybe' so your just trolling. You don't actually know what the hell your talking about.

[HoweFactor]

'You have violated my human rights'. Police seem to sometimes object to being photographed on the grounds that their 'Human Rights' are being violated. This really means the same thing as 'privacy' and there is none in the street as the presence of CCTV and police photographers shows.

[suziecreamchease]

i was dressed as a psychedelic court jester in a horrible shopping mall in Norwich - and talking to some teenagers.

A securty guard came up and asked what i was doing.

I said "i am just implanting a very tiny bomb in this young lady's mind, which when it explodes will not hurt anyone but might get her enlightened".

An other guard in plain clothes arrived and threatened to arrest me under the prevention of terrorism act.

I said "lets go to the police station now"

But the bastard would'nt ..

[therealdannymartin]

you dont know what the circumstances were before the camera started filming, don't, make the security officer look like a c**t before you all now the facts

[paulewing81]

to late the security gaurd is a clown its a public place and he assualted him and doesnt have right to detain himBTW THIS AINT CHINA PAL!! but its getting that way no photography or video no right to demonstrate and if you get job with kids your automatically assumed to be paedophile until disclosure form clears

[Quentinmovie]

Why didn't you overpower him! You could've pushed that bastard over

[meijirevival]

Security guards like that need a quick shovel to the face.

[yetiflicker]

what a bell end......

[5corvette5]

fired!

[davey235]

Why is the security guard trying to detain someone for taking pictures. It's not an offence to take pictures in a public place? I think wrongful arrest is an option as section 24a of PACE says that you can only detain for an indictable offence?

[SPOOKSPY26]

Davey I agree to an extent but under data protection issues the security guard has a right not to have his picture taken if the picture and film was used without his permission the camera operator and reporter are in the wrong, I also think what was the reason for the filming? and what happened before hand?

[paulewing81]

your wrong the security gaurd has no rights hes in a public place PS they dont need reason to film or take photographs

[omegadeep]

WRONG ! Any person in a public place can be photographed , there is no law to stop it and certainly it has nothing at all to do with data protection.

[Sulked]

WHAT A CUNT! WAKE UP BRITAIN!

[n1ckotene]

England used to be a free Country - then along came useless runts like that security guard...

[leapoffaith20]

@n1ckotene Indeed, what a pikey looking fucker he is.

[matthewlane]

@n1ckotene Free country does not mean what you think it means. It doesn't mean people can be a dick in public, regardless of if there a security guard or any every day wanker.

[Amadeonow]

@n1ckotene Haha, oh wow. When exactly was England a free country?

[chris4861]

I'd have nutted him in the face - no hesitation. Glad you kept cool. Frightening.

[jumblejumbleuk]

What a prick. You can't detain me - "well, put it this way... I can detain you". Yeah great argument dipshit.

[ajuk1]

WTF!

[CalledToAccount]

So what happened after the film stops?

Did you sue them? Did they apologise?

Did you just give in?
