UK Police arrest woman for filming them 'for evidence' 22July09

Description taken from http://www.youtube.com/user/liarpoliticians




A woman is handcuffed by police who abuse yet another New Labour "terror law" given to the corrupt police. She wanted to film the police detaining a friend as evidence, and they handcuff her as well because "it's illegal to film the corrupt police".

i hate all the 'all cops are scum' comments,but i feel the public should have every right to film them as they have every right to film us,ie travic car cameras,cctv etc.

@stellastey Yes I think the 'all cops are scum' comments are pointless and show a great ignorance. During my process of trying to become a constable many years ago I talked to and interviewed many outstanding men/women who were fair and honest however the role has changed from constable into officer which is unfortunate and deliberate. It is a shame but many of these people I spoke to years ago warned me about what is coming and advised me not to join by explaining the difference

@TheAustralianArmy As for the riots my question was where were the Met for the first three days? A protest turned ugly, people started fighting. the police should have reacted at that point. Instead three days later it has become a general riot and loot THEN the Metropolitan Police react at that point the only sensible reaction is water cannons(safer and more effective than CS), For Serious Civil Disorder (Not Civil Disobedience) you react with force, protect the public, arrests are secondary.

@AngryBugger2012 About the part where those group of lads got "mobbed" by the cops, well sometimes cops need to take action that some may find un-necessary so that they can make sure things don't happen like the lads run away, or they pull a weapon on them for example. Just because something turns out to be minor or incorrect, they have to take that sort of action just incase it does turn into a dangerous situation. for example did you not feel like you wanted to help the cops at the riots?

@TheAustralianArmy ....... I filmed it, questioned the officers as to whether it was really necessary, he told me if I didn't like it I should write to my local MP, I said I would, when I took the tag numbers off of the tape and went to the station with them the station officer was very helpful, gave me surnames to match the numbers and an appointment with the Inspector, after that meeting funnily enough I saw the rude officer in the hallway, I said "I'm meeting Nadine (Local MP) next week."

[AngryBugger2012]

@TheAustralianArmy But yeah I and many other in my area have had bad experiences with the local police and it's amazing how often the same descriptions turn up, and it's the same handful of officers each time, I have a few friends amongst the local cops and they are just as pissed off with the "jobsworth" cops, and they are very helpful, once I saw a group of lads mobbed by a dozen cops because one had a bottle of beer (he was 19) one in plain clothes holding a baton in a young girls face....

@TheAustralianArmy "Well why make your comments sound like you're stereotyping the whole fucking Police force."

Read my comments I haven't made comments like that, I just put you right about not needing permission thing, and obviously the exchange between us has got heated, I film quite often round my neck of the woods, particularly in the case of 3 specific officers who are known for heavy handedness and racism, I just make an appointment with the inspector every month or so and show him.

@AngryBugger2012 Well why make your comments sound like you're stereotyping the whole fucking Police force...!!!! Well done by the way. I am guessing you have had a bad experience?? Well do really expect every single officer to be to be perfect. Some officer's have literally given up on the world due to all the things and disgusting people they have had to deal with, you should take that into account when a cop isn't "Mista Nice guy". But what about the "Anti-terrorism Act"?

[AngryBugger2012]

@TheAustralianArmy "I know your type." You know nothing. I have a commendation from my local force for helping an officer who was being choked by a guy leaning over from the back of the car*, I give respect when it's due, or help when it's due, but not allow my self to be bullied. No Law prevents you filming Police.

*next time he'll remember no matter how compliant a guy is the handcuffs go round the back or palms over wrists, never prayer position too easy to loop your arms over the headrest.

@lail111 You don't want me to reply because you're realizing your invalid argument is going nowhere. I'm a mug? because I don't break the law and and don't disrespect Police? What is this world turning into..........................­....
