Video footage given to the BBC for their use. My comments below are not supported nor endoresed by the BBC. The comments below are my own.

I was on my way to deliver this footage to the BBC in Regent Street when I was detained under section 60. I had started recording on my camera before the police approuched me and they forced the camera from my hand and held both my arms as if I was a criminal. I was asked for my details but refused to give any untill I had been told what law and what crime I had commited.

The officers could not tell me what crime but were only able to use Section 60 which is a stop and search power. Everyone has the right not to give their details during a search. They then asked me if my bank card which they took from my pocket belonged to me. I told them that it did and they arrested me for Suspicion of Handling Stolen Goods. (The card belonged to me).

Before my arrest I had arranged to give my footage to the BBC and a BBC reporter booked my name with reception. I was followed from Soho by two police officers in uniform. I was detained and arrested on Regent Street close to the BBC building. I found it strange how they would decide to detain me before I could get to the BBC.

After I was released without Charge and without Caution after 4 hours I promptly made my way back to the BBC in Regent Street and was finaly able to pass them this footage.

I also want to point out that many people have been arrested over the last two days including Charlie Veitch who is well known for hugging the police (Love Police) who was arrested yesterday. No one knows exactly what he was arrested for but the footage I have just seen on the BBC of a playright being arrested along with another man who was wearing fancy costume. Apparently its illegal to wear fancy costume when the royal family are doing something.

"Marksmen from the Met's specialist CO19 firearms unit are understood to be on a 'shoot to kill' footing and special forces are expected to infiltrate the crowds."

You’re lucky the police didn’t fine you for filming them they normally threaten people with £30 fines for filming police

[Tzimnewman3]

@fiesta1117cc Very unlikely since there is no law against filming in a public place. Also, on the met website they have made it clear that its legal and that members of the public can video record and take pictures of police officers whilst they are doing their duty.

You're all victims of a STAGED RUSE MEANT TO INCITE YOU. That song was completely DAFT, and the guy who got hauled off waved and signaled to the undercovers. Notice he didn't yell or scream? He was part of it. Notice the newbies at the gate? Some first year Pakis and one kid barely out of his A levels, fronted by one leading the training exercise. "Remain calm sir...." This entire thing was a training exercise pretexted as a ruse AND YOU YOU ALL FELL FOR IT.

@jaymeeface Nope. If you do that you'll be getting charged with ABH. If they have a legitimate reason to put their hands on you - for example if you approach them in an aggressive manner, to which creating space is a reasonable response - then you have absolutely no justification; not to mention, breaking somebody's finger would likely not be considered proportionate to the threat, possibly causing your self-defence argument to fail.

Try again..

[TroLLoWar]

They did announce they were police, idiot. It annoys me how many people with a camera think they know something, when in reality they usually know fuck all.

[Jordangx94]

also breach of the peace? thats another thing ill never understand you can arrested for swearing even when it just you and the cops.

i know this was a while back but them cunts who burned the poppy only got a £50 fine which he paid with his benefits.

[Jordangx94]

this is the reason i hate cops they can push you about like the cunts they are but when you tell another cop they dont give a fuck

[zydecobill]

Look at old "dead Eyes" @ 2.50. Zombie

[jaymeeface]

articles on him to cause criminal damage?! but can't say what... because he didn't.

[jaymeeface]

if police ever put there hand on you, your well within your right to grab one of there fingers and break it. As long as you do it in a calm and none violent manor there is nothing they can really do, unless they decide to abuse there powers and lie about you.

@RobDallas3006 How you can have such blind faith in the court system which has failed normal people countless times is completely beyond me.
