  • I am BTP officer and our chief inspector is too busy and has too much paperwork to do to even attend briefings. i often operate the camera and only my sergeant knows about myself and the surveillance team being in operation. and also it isnt lazy policing id deters low level crime and it also deters pick pocketers and oppertunistic criminals

  • we were told they were for our protection, we were lied to, they are for generating profit.

    smoking or eating while driving, littering these are the low level crimes. Can a camera really spot a pickpocket at work?, you could be standing next to a dip at work and not notice, so how can a camra 50 metres away see it. When you're on duty aren't you just watching out for the usual faces? seeing who they meet with etc.?

  • yes anarchynotchaos, we do see the same faces around and about but the new faces we do see makes us that one step ahead of the game and when we see them again, we know who they are and everything about them. And the camera is not for generating profit, speed camera maybe but not the surveillance camera. This is purely to catch the criminals in the act as the camera can be used in a court of law.

  • I do understand that they can be useful, and I'm not having a pop at the law, I just think that the government are using these new regs. to control the populace and rake in extra cash. The coppers are just caught in the middle and they are the ones that the public blames when they're criminalised for no good reason.

  • good job mark thomas...

  • Well done 'tomthepom234', you've passed the first test! You'll be receiving a truncheon in the post. Now don't hit your mum with it, you must only use it on people who ask questions. I wish you were my local bobby, I'd feel really safe. Just so long as I didn't accidentally look in your direction. That would be asking for it though wouldn't it. Blind faith will see us through to the bitter end!

  • You have to ask sometimes why police aren't allowed to tell arrogant, smug prats like this blue jacketed tit to royally FUCK OFF!

    Has he actually got an issue or is he just some bloke wanting to wind some copper up?

  • What a tit! Has this guy got nothing else better to so than to harass and waste police time?

  • Hilarious! Great Video

  • What was all this about? Some "comedian" walking around asking who is and who isn't BTP and why they are filming? The police are busy enough as it is without answering daft questions.

  • probably because he was caught by the police and didn't like it !

  • But that would surely waste the police's time, creating a bigger problem.

  • why may i ask is he cares so much about this?
