Amateur hour. The police seem to be servants to certain companies. They essentially acted as the private security firm for that company, rather than protecting your rights. Disgusting. The male officer was clueless and the female officer was just lost and out of her depth.
Watching this again, my teeth are grinding at that "detention". Despite what many coppers have come to believe, there is no general power to detain people without arrest in the UK - that's a US thing. In the UK, detention without arrest can be done only to prevent you interfering while your home is being searched; to prevent a breach of the peace; or for the duration of a PACE 1984 Section 1 search for "stolen or prohibited articles", where prohibited is defined to a specific set of circumstances. None of those applied here, and they didn't even pretend that it was a PACE search, or issue or offer a search form. It was unlawful from the very first second - they have no power to remove your liberty while they educate themselves. Please, please, don't let this one drop.
They're more concerned about multinational than the rights of UK citizens. This "in today's age" BS is not caused by citizens, its solely government over reach.
At Volant Media, "We're an independent media company with a global presence, looking to shed light on stories that others won't report on"
But try to stop others it seems , as for the police being so thick probably don't see themselves abusing powers again, no apology either
Omg that kid riding a stolen bike with the alarm going off and a car with no mot and that police officer was more interested in finding away to arrest you, England is a joke man
Hi DJ........You were assaulted by the male officer, common assault, both officers failed to inform you under what section of law that you were being detained under despite you asking them several times?You were both assaulted and detained whilst engaged in a lawful activity, therefore I recommend that you make a formal complaint to the metropolitan police immediately.Having the video of this altercation and your assault is excellent evidence.I hope you keep us updated on this channel.
"I'm detaining you to identify you" and no section was given. It's dangerous when coppers go rogue.
" Current climate " suggests constable baldy believes there is a possible terrorist threat. Had he contacted his local counter terrorist unit for advice instead of his equally clueless sergeant he would have terminated the stop immediately. BTW the current threat level remains unchanged at SUBSTANTIAL.The Home Office mandated that all UK police officers be trained on the NPCC guidance on public photography by last October at the very latest. Baldy and his friend clearly missed the training.
Last December Magomed-Husejn Dovtaev, 31 (25.11.1992), an Austrian national was charged on 13 February with collecting information of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism, (contrary to Section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000). This was at the media company you visited for this video.He was more sus tho as he travelled straight from Vienna to the building.
Illegally detaining you which is false imprisonment. Thompson and HSU versus the chief of police of the metropolis states any part of the first hour of an illegal detainment is a minimum of £500 compensation. Also touched you which is battery the legal definition is unwanted contact. As soon as the tyrant pig said you are being detained that means you are not free to leave and if you attempt to leave they can use reasonable force againt you. Which is assault and battery. Being illegally detained automatically leads to assualt and battery. You have a claim for all 3. If you don't put in a claim against them then they will never learn. The tyrants are not here for us the public anymore other than to collect revenue from us they are a parliamentary army for the ruling elite. Their main duties is to protect politicians and big corporations business.
The claim was started before the video was made public. Updates to follow.
