[DjRoB1990]

A.C.A.B ! hope all brutal cops get killed !

[balerick48]

so exactly how, again, did this all turn out? Was she, in fact, convicted? Was she just detained, then released? What REALLY happened, as we only have what is shown here to go by. We have nothing to show what happened before or after the video. I don't trust when I only hear one side. I think we also have to take into consideration the local laws. I am a police officer in the Midwest USA. I am not familiar with local law in Britain.

If it was a requirement that the police had degrees you probably wouldn't get these poor judgements...

[freemanabeon]

"Policing by consent"?

"Innocent until proven guilty"?

Isn't our country great -_-

[XXBurningAngel2XX]

She wasn't arrested for requesting a badge number she was arrested for harrassing police officers whilst they were trying to do their job...

[balerick48]

and you were violent and aggressive when you were being arrested. You have the right to complain later about false arrest, but the law does NOT allow you to resist arrest at the time it was happening, and by this video you were, in fact, physically resisting, thus, bringing it on yourself.

[bucksmark]

@balerick48 Incorrect. The use of reasonable force in self defence is a well established in common law and applies in the case of an arrest where the constable is acting outside of their lawful duties (what you call 'false arrest') exactly as if a person comes up to you in the street and grabs hold of you and you resist. The constable should demonstrate the arrest was both lawful and necessary. If they use force to effect the arrest, they must then demonstrate the use of force was reasonable.

@balerick48 You are obviously not trained in law, are you? Let me tell you something as a law student. In Australia where I live (and I am sure the UK law is identical in this regard), the police must disclose their name and station when asked by any citizen. It is illegal to conceal that information from any citizen. Also, unless the police had a warrant to arrest, they can only arrest if they see an offence being committed, or have reasonable grounds to suspect an offence has been commited.

[balerick48]

@UnitedKorean I doubt the laws are all the same. What may apply where you are from does not mean it applies in every other country. For someone trained in law you seem to forget that this video is only part of the evidence, part of what happened.  What went on before and after the video? Do you know?Was she really arrested for asking for the name or was she arrested for interfering with an officer in the performance of their duty, a crime here in the USA. I think we need to be very careful.

[UnitedKorean]

@balerick48 The lady was not comitting any offence and the police had no power to arrest. Furthermore, the police failed to effect a lawful arrest by failing to state that the lady was under arrest and failing to tell the reason why she was being arrested. That is false arrest as well as false imrpisonment. A citizen has a right to object to and refuse false arrest by resisting. Resisting a false arrest is not an offence. Moreover, the police had no power to put her under arrest that long.

[UnitedKorean]

@balerick48 The police breached the doctrine of Habeas Corpus, committing false imprisonment. Refusing to bail for the offence they charged her with is also against the Bail Act. Not allowing the detainee to contact the lawyer is also illegal. Everything the police has done here is absolutely illegal and against the law. The plice committed many crimes here and need to be charged and punished.

sad lesbiens , respect to the U.K. police ,..who are you going to call when you're in trouble ,..these guy's do what there told to do ,..DON'T BLAME THEM ,..

[meotaku2]

@djasonj. The police do nothing for ordinary people. All they want is an easy life, overtime and a inflation proof pension at aged 50. Have you ever needed them ? I expect they did f*ck all which is what they have done whenever I have needed them. This was an excessive use of force. I doubt that an arrest was even needed.

[BoogieKnight1976]

You've got to be a natural prick to be a British copper, its their way of getting their own back from the days they were bullied and picked on in school , they get pissed on shandy beat their wives and when they retire they become sad meek quiet dickheads.

[ocseans]

Western people are becoming weak in general. Oh no I was offended, I can't handle authority, he was too rough... As history shows tough people become civilized, then gradually become soft and greedy before being conquered by a tougher people. The question is will the pattern change for the first time in history? If not we are on the downward path. Fact .

[klubbansmakarkuk]

Bitch got told.

[stedav]

Well done officers, another violent criminal apprehended!

[boshankers12]

Theres activist cunts, they deserve everything they get.

[deadrebel2]

Although climate camp is just another rent a mob for the elite filled with nieve caring individuals(Climategate will not go away), I agree totally with what these young women are trying to accomplish. As a society we have been entertained into an ignorant stupour. As a far more intellegent man than I once stated " it is the first duty of every citizen to have a healthy distrust of authority"

Keep up the good work.

[arga400]

[TheJeremyevans]

complaining to the IPCC is like asking a mob to investigate a hit

[abbesieyes]

I do love how the valid is deleted and then reposted for fresh comment.

Inquisition and Counter Reformation, writ Global.

The Law Common v The Law of Rome (law of the jungle).

One notes that responses to demands for ID from the populace directed at the constabulary across the Western world are quite similar.

Just look at what happened to Gates in the US recently. Things got ugly after he had the temerity to demand the officers badge number.
