Pickpockets Caught On Camera in London's West End

[1878EFC2008]

ALthough the people here are naive it isn;t their fault. PArt of the problem is that they've been conditioned by hte PC brigade to accept such invitations from non-whites in case they 're viewed as racist.

The non-white is taking advantage of the white man's innate trust and goodness.

It didn't work on me and the last time they tried it I stamped on his toes, but let's remember who the victims are.

[Thatredeyejedi]

@1878EFC2008 Dude are you serious? get the fuck out of here with that, you folk are just naive or stupid and need to be taught stranger danger it doesn't matter what color you are white black brown or yellow if your a crook your a crook and if your not then your prey and the prey needs to be smart enough to defend or get his ass ganked and i know for a fact if i white man worked at a store and if someone dark walked in they would watch them like a hawk, open your mind biggot

[flamesecureUK]

[XboxChris360]

Pick Pocketers are Stupid Desperate Fucking Cunts!!! they stole my mums phone In London Dungeon today -.-

[fluorescentcentipede]

so cctv is there to help retarded people not getting robbed..

[Aniki1609]

I always recommend steel toe capped boots . Quite handy to have those on your feet for times like this. Once you start ''doing them'' just wait at the scene for the authorities. You don't need to talk much, because they already know you are just a victim defending yourself. Just make sure they wont run away by any means ! Beware of Soho and the backstreets of Piccadilly. They are not as safe as they say they are.

[MrDj3600]

gud job



[diddymuck]

guy lets a total stranger off the street link arms and rub against him? What neighborhood is this?

[tanger34]

is moroccans boys . not is pockpockit is kozikoza

[sausageNmash1990]

haha fuckin thieving scumbags,...

[JAMamation]

U gotta watch out for this stuff in Amsterdam. Some filthy morrocans tried to pick my pocket, TWICE. (seperate incidents)

[1878EFC2008]

Why are there no white pick pockets?

[ugoinsidevideo]

@1878EFC2008 cause we are civilized people.

[filh0daputa]

My mother was pickpocket in hard rock in London. There was everything in there and it was a problem.Still solving things...

[johnshenton999]

That exact technique of pickpocketing was attempted on me when I was in Barcelona a few months ago. Luckily when the guy tried to place his left leg infront of my right leg I quickly pushed him away, and he wandered off.

Unfortunately it was my first day in Spain, so now I think that country is full of thieves and I won't ever go there again.

[coopmuch56]

@johnshenton999 lol and america isnt..

[soulrisk1010]

i don't think stealing is right.

but honestly i been trying to get my shit right for a while now

and sometimes people are left with no choice

but its the greed part that is bad imo

[mrmarmalademan]

Living in London you soon learn that strangers who approach you and want to be your friend and talk to you and/or dance with you are either up to no good, mental or their team has just won. All a waste of time and very boring.

This should go in all guide books.

When visiting our beautiful capital and someone approaches you with the words "my friend" the appropriate response is FUCK OFF and continue on your merry way.

[CelticBhoy345353]

i always pick pocket on trains, easy way to make money.

Fuck it too many rich people out there.

[Choungui]

trawling huh? ooooh ur sooooooo naaasty

[Ozzy0sbourne]

Dude.

Fuck CCTV

If someone is too stupid or too much of a pussy to handle themselves like every other human being, then they get what they deserve.

[Deej1188]

Are you kidding? What about the elderly? What about men who can't fend off two guys...what about women who can't fend off two guy?

What if your wife/girlfriend was robbed/pick pocketed? Would you really have the balls to tell her that it wouldn't have happened if she wasn't "stupid" or "a pussy"?

[Ozzy0sbourne]

@Deej1188

Kids, the elderly, and disabled people are different.

[Deej1188]

yeah, I get that people should have a right to privacy and not be unjustly filmed. But its a public sidewalk. Obviously, there IS crime going on. I don't care if cops watch me kiss my girlfriend or pick a wedgie.

I wouldn't care if it turned into the wild west and cops didn't intercede on things like this. I'm conscious of criminals and I often conceal carry. But this poor sucker was leaving a bar. Hes a little tipsy and vulnerable. We need the police to protect those who can't.

[Ozzy0sbourne]

I just hate it when idiots don't take the little time it takes to protect themselves, and just depend on other to protect them for them.

It's bullshit, and i think people should cover their own shit, for themselves.

in my opinion

[MartinisLife]

you wouldnt call ur woman a pussy. youd tell her its fine and buy her a new one. your supposed to love her. not make her you bitch.

[Deej1188]

haha...i know. I was just replying to the guy who said people who need CCTV to watch over them were pussies.

[MartinisLife]

oh ok deej. then its okay =) i thought u were some ass hole who treated women like dirt. its all good

[widowhams]

those guys are fucking good

[AgentOrange2012]

because all ur scam artists are the politicians in usa

[BelgianGeneral]

OMG.

I was 'danced' here in Belgium a few weeks ago. A guy picked my cellphone that way. I went after him and he simply gave it back. I was shaking on my legs when he simply walked away and excused himself.

[IsOneFunny]

I hate how people think they have a right to film and monitor us , we're hardly free.

[jameswsparker]

No, we're free to an extent; and highly monitored in what we believe to be a 'society of freedom'.

Sadly, and as much as I hate to say this; living in England with all the CCTV cameras, I am happy they are there.

Cameras have saved me on several occasions, and for that I resect my police.

[khalid3720637206]

lol dis is da last dance

[elpatriotaLX]

This is getting really bad all over Europe. The dancing thing is very common. Sometimes, they also do the football thing; where they want you to pretend that you have the ball and they try to take it from you. Damn bastards, they should either get a real job or die.

[DnWvideo]

What the fuck, i dont get it, who the hell dances in the middle of the streets.

[genungapearl]

I don't get it either, I would love to know what the guys said to get them to go along with it "Hey, I've just learned this great routine, wanna try it out?"

[MizShinobi1]

i hate pick pocketers. id poke em in the eye the instant they get too close. wankers.

[tkxg]

lol @ mithos03 thumbs up

[thugtife4eva]

yo migitime how would u like to get robbed u litle prick

[mjtime]

the CCTV should go fuck themselves, they should let pickpockets pickpocket, there's nothing wrong with stealing... Essential my ass, these pickpockets are smart and the tourists are dumb.

[whatdoasittake]

they deserve to be robbed muppets.

[Mithos03]

Oh hello! Would you like to dance with me?

Oh sure!

*They dance and the suspect is pick pocketed*

Seriously, IDIOTS!

[sohoW1]

How can one taste on-line!

Dummy?

[SamoPajamo]

I was curious, so I looked it up, US is about 39.84 times larger.

(US: 3,537,442 Britain[England, Scotland, and Wales]: 88800)

[SamoPajamo]

I forgot to say that those numbers are in square miles in my last comment.

[marcapesos]

Why are we talking about the U.S first of all? Anyways,I mean the U.S is like 15X bigger then Britain, and of course we have more murders or robberies we have triple the amount of people. Were not in a small area like Britain. Why do you always need to bring up the U.S?

[FotoSpencer]

Thank you for watching over us big brother.... :|

[BruceD1776]

I hat pickpockets, but I hate the state worse. I'd rather lose my wallet than lose my freedom. It's all about social control so that one day they can monitor & arrest enemies of the state. I don't see how you Limeys can stand it. There's assholes trying to bring that kind of surveillance to the U.S.

[timmo2k]

lose your freedom? are you shitting me? Im glad we have all the cameras, i have the freedom to now go out at night rather than be locked in my home. The cameras are giving us freedom not taking it away

[BruceD1776]

In the U.S., we have the freedom to walk around at night and we don't have cameras (yet).

The reason you have so much violent crime is because of gun prohibition. Whenever something is made illegal, a black market arises that wasn't there before. The black market can't be controlled like a legal market can. That's why so many criminals have guns in the U.K.

Criminals are afraid of being shot by intended victims in the U.S.

[timmo2k]

Oh yes, thats why americas rape and murder rate is almost double that of ours! Id rather be mugged or pickpocketed than raped or murdered. Also, njotice how we caught all the people who planted the car bombs WITHIN A DAY? CCTV is making us safer. I am convinced. If ur not a criminal, you have nothing ot worry about

[BruceD1776]

The U.S. has a much different culture than the U.K. The U.S. has a large third-world origin population that commits most all the crime. Putting cameras out would do little to stop it.

Besides, I'd rather take the crime risk than have the government constantly watching and breathing down my neck. It's question of privacy and government power.

The more power the government has to enforce laws, the more draconian they will enact. I want people to get away with violating unjust laws.

[timmo2k]

How the hell are laws to prevent shootings or pickpocketing unjust? are you completely fucking stupid?

Americans really need to grow up and realise that life isnt the great big conspiracy you all think it is. And you wonder why so much of the planet thinks america is stupid!?!?!?!

the only freedom these cameras take away from us is the freedom to get away with criminal activity.

I actually have a positive image of america, but you my friend, are making me question myself.

[BruceD1776]

Question yourself, kid. Get your facts straight before using insulting language.

From your own "Home Office", see w ww (dot)homeoffice (dot) gov (dot) uk (slash) rds (slash) pdfs08 (slash) hosb0308 (dot) pdf. See p.17. Notice the trend in homocides from the pre-camera '90s to the post-camera 2000s. Now tell me how your cameras have decreased murder.

See p.27. Then tell me how your cameras have caught more murderers.

I and we don't care what you think of us.

[timmo2k]

OK murders have risen, but at a slower rate than population growth. so per head of the population, murders are falling. most shootings in this country are teenagers trying to mimic american rappers. And even if our murder rate is rising, it is A LOT lower than that of the USA.

i wasnt insulting you, but thinking laws to prevent murder are unjust, is stupid.

Sorry, I think that last post of mine didnt come across the way i would have liked it to. Im trying to have an intellectual dialogue! LOL

[BruceD1776]

No, per head, homicides have risen in the U.K. since the '90s. See the previous reference w ww (dot)homeoffice(dot)gov(dot)uk­/rds /pdfs08/hosb0308(dot)pdf, p.18. See the far right column, "Offences currently recorded as homicide per million population".

Per million, homicides rose from 11.4-11.8 in 96-97 to 13.7 in 06/07, 12.7% increase.

Meanwhile, per million, murders fell in the U.S. from 74-68 in 96-97 to 57 in 06, 23% decrease. w ww (dot)fbi(dot)gov/ucr/cius2006/­data/table_01(dot) html

[timmo2k]

sorry my mistake, but even still, thats a very high rate!

[jordan4vikki3r3]

so?

[vebedekhi]

In US,they have so many cases of gunshot in classes/universities just due to availability of Gun.

[BruceD1776]

Guns have been available for generations, yet school shootings are only recent. Those shootings happen where it is illegal to carry firearms and therefore a defenseles, helpless population.

[vebedekhi]

I`m not that much introduced to US culture.But if authority can eliminate guns,how the school shooting will occur?People can undergo some sort of mental pressure & imbalance in any stage of life.This is not safe when guns are available to a mentally unstable person.I personally dont agrre with ur freedom of gun theory.

[tru3r0ll3r]

Keep your hands in your fucking pockets

[sircoolcat]

I don't see why not have more CCTV cameras. If it'll prevent crime, then why not? Not as if it's going to have any negative affect on those who have nothing to hide.

[knocknagun]

CCtV cameras do not prevent crime...I was one of the CCTV team on this clip and what you saw was jack shit.....even when we got some-one on camera breaking the law there was no old bill... this is in the West End london ... I saw a lot of stuff and lot of peole getting away with stuff.. its police officers we need on the streets not more CCTV

[chengomonk]

cctv is essential your ass. Pickpockets select retards and teach them a lesson. nothing wrong with it.

[foamulator]

They have decided to sacrifice liberty for security. They will be sorry.

[timmo2k]

no they wont. grow up

[cochraneb]

until you get mugged and need the footage to help find your offenders you would not aprreciate the importance of this... its crime prevention, only criminals dislike it...

[BlameItOnGod]

It's unnacceptable that their government has cameras every fucking where... People shouldn't be afraid on governments, governments should be afraid on people.

[DrFrankLives]

big brother. is noone else a bit frightened by having the government watching the entire city all the time?

[jpruk0]

Not when it's preventing crime.

[r0m4n]

yeah, preventing crime now, preventing freedom of speech + freedom of movement later. i am frankly afraid of the government having so much control over the population.

[timmo2k]

dont be silly, the government will never be able to surpress 60million people, even with ID crads itll be too difficult

[BruceD1776]

The Soviets did. The nazis did. You guys have lost your free spirit, especially after you outlawed firearms. Having freedom to own firearms is mark of spirit of a free people. It's only a matter of time before U.K. loses all its freedom.

[sohoW1]

Dear Dr.,

Can't argue with that!

Cheers.

from,

del-boy.

[MizShinobi1]

i bet ur like some 14 yr old kid that through the grace of ur parents good taste in tv, make it a priority to watch only fools n horses.

i doubt u could pick pocket anythin and why would u wana

[loftybutcontrite]

It sure would be fun to work at that cctv center.

[sohoW1]

Dear lo., Yes, right -for five minutes. . If anything it would be best to be the pick-pocket victim; it seems like fun and you could in theory dance for ages -even getting the pickpocket to buy you some drinks first of all, etc. . One only need have two wallets, on at home and one with stolen credit cards and forged passport in in, for the benefit of the pickpocket. . Works every time ! A much better rôle than being in the camera booth. Cheers. from, del-boy.
