Peaceful picket to save youth club and anti terror laws
In all my interactions with the police I have found them to be arrogant, misinformed, bullying, jobsworth prats. The last one I saw was actually off duty and sped past me on a dual carriageway then tried to cut in as the lanes merged. He ended up along side me in the queue and informed me the arrow on the road signified merging in turn, when I said fine, me first, he went in one and sprang the 'If I was on duty I'd do you' line. When I started laughing at him he went ballistic.
As a bit of an amateur photographer things like that make me really angry. I have a general respect for the Police, but to listen to one talking so much tulipe and making so many threats winds me right up. Personally, I'd have taken the arrest because he would've had to work really hard to explain that away.
This. Youtube is full of Cops and PCSOs chucking their weight about trying to claim you can't film stuff / take pictures in public places*. This is one of our important freedoms in my not at all humble opinion, and if people can't see why, then they don't deserve a camera.
If the rest of you post here that you are planning to stage a protest against DC, they will be too busy to spot me throwing an egg at him. Hard boiled.
Perhaps this copper goes home to his family every night sick to the back teeth of rubber neckers and paps, having had to scrape some poor unfortunate out of a car into an ambulance and this guy with his snappy snaps one shot was the last straw?
Then he should get a job he can handle instead of being a tulip policeman.
While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'
Video captures moment PCSO who pulled over a driver was then arrested HIMSELF for being twice the drink-drive limit by police officers he called for back-up
PCSO Andrew Seston signalled for motorist to stop vehicle in Wycombe
He then called for back-up when Irfan Mehrban began arguing with him
But PCSO's colleagues arrived and suspected he had been drinking
They breathalysed him, finding he was over limit before arresting him
