Met police can't arrest people who swear at them any more (27Jun11)

[MutteringUrchin]

The American vid = false.

[GangStalkingUK]

So what happens when the police commit act of violence shall we all arrest them.

[charlieiscool1000]

@GangStalkingUK oh yeah very clever of you to block me like a fascist your the type of person who calls other people including the police Nazis while behaving like one yourself you hate other people’s opinions and you hate free speech while believing in many crazy conspiracy’s ranging from the Royal family to the titanic sinking and you also support islamic extremists and you tell me to grow up lol you must be insane i don't want a pointless argument but you must be an attention seeking whore.

Yes thats my point, they swear, not necessarily in a malicious context, but they swear like any one else, it's part of their every day language, same as any working class people. So it is a fact that officers swear at the public abusivly sometimes, considering the types of people they sometimes have to deal with. My point is, it's part of their job, and part of life in general; they should just get over it like we all have to.

"Tolerate swearing more"? I have seen many Officers tolerate swearing to the point where the average person would have thrown fists. We can't forget that the Police are human, and of course they won't like being sown at.

[KevinJKtheman]

The police swear at the public all the time, so why shouldn't we be able to swear back ? they're a bunch of wankers anyway. Fucking scumbags.

[MrBluezn2z]

@KevinJKtheman "All the time" is this from videos you have seen, or from personal experience? I think your overreacting, unless your talking about a protest which you will hear many swear words come from the mouths of Police Officers, but not used to abuse a person.

[Tzimnewman3]

Fuck me, we can't have free speech?

[MrBluezn2z]

@Tzimnewman3 Of course we don't have full freedom of speech, if we did then people would be allowed to shout out hate speech towards race, etc

I love your videos by the way :)

[lordpoee]

Why should someone be arrested just for cursing at a cop? We curse at each other all the time!

[Aurelian603]

Irrelevant, but that BBC newlady is a well fit bird. Anyone know her name?

[drowzyboy]

nobody gets arrested for telling someone to fuck off, people do it to each other in traffic and all sorts anyway. as police are really the only people with enough power to enforce some sort of legal ramifications id it really cool that they can lock you up for flipping them the bird

[Graham6762]

The piece of shit cops swear at me all the time. I file complaints and nothing is ever done.

[destinyson23]

great, so we can call police "private security scumbags" again and "pigs" again. Police are sodding useless and don't deserve respect or a job really. Making it a crime to mention a word to the police shows just how controlling police and their criminal bosses in government like to be.

[HumanSayNo]

"Fuck the police coming straight from the underground"

[PermT]

That video from america woz so fake.

[MetaReaLizard]

Arrest for swearing lol what a pile of shite.

[dikkydoo1]

raheem kassam doesnt speak for me, so fuck off !

[2010butchd]

i wont tell the police to fuck its not nice i will tell them they are scum rapists dirty peices of shit

[EnglishG3nt]

We can call the police whatever we so desire. After all they're citizens, just citizens in uniform. Aren't they...?

[emptyangel]

@EnglishG3nt

Because a citizen can be arrested for harassing and abusing another citizen?

[holyhell5050]

@emptyangel Swearing does not necessitate harassment and abuse - those are offenses in themselves. So IF harassment/abuse of an officer occurs they can act on those grounds.

[andig4]

@EnglishG3nt No, Because the reason you "Can" swear at police is because sec 4a/5 public order doesn't apply to them because they are "officers" and cant be offended because they have been "Trained" to not take offense.

That being said, if you did swear at an officer he would still arrest you but under Sec 5 Public order (if someone else may be offended) either way you get nicked still :P

[charlieiscool1000]

@EnglishG3nt No they are not they put there lives on the line for the public and have a much more dangerous and impotent role than normal people and with the amount of abuse the police get everyday this should come as something of an outrage does this mean they are scrapping the public orders act it looks like this had something to do with yet another absurd human rights ruling which is making a mockery out of British justice and the country today.
