Police in not knowing fuck all about the law non shocker.
Public filming is completely legal, otherwise CCTV would not exist.
Yet another story showing police that don’t know the laws they’re supposed to be policing against.
I cant quite work out what happened here… are we missing some key info?
There is a thing by Youtubers called auditing. Basically they go around public places including police stations, knowing that the law allows you to film with a camera and film the police coming and going. If the force is aware of said auditors, they will be polite and let the person carry-on (often they just get bored and leave) or come on heavy handed and try and argue with the person filming (much to the auditors delight). The auditors do it specifically to get a rise out of the police to catch their reactions on film.
It’s about time they passed a law that all police officers must wear body cameras. A company like GoPro can make 2 lens systems with 2 separated batteries and controllers with 2 sd card slots, meaning that no officer could ever claim device failure.
And any arrests or fines made that did not have the video files attached would result in the case being dropped.
Get enough dropped cases, you get fired. Boom solved
Police bellendness
The Met polis are even more corrupt than the Scottish polis.
Imagine that as a bragging right down the pub. “Banned from Shoreditch me lad.”
MET police living up to their usual standards then…
So they detained (because its a restriction of liberty) someone filming a stop and search that’s being carried out in public. When the law allows you to film in public, and officer in question has no powers to issue a ban of that nature.

How can it be legal to ban someone from having more than one phone on them ?
This is why they’re in special measures. Corrupt and morally bankrupt.
How is that possible?
It does read like *John* is being a pest and getting in the way. If you’re *known to police* in any way you’re getting something wrong.
Would be interested in the recording before pitch forks mind.
We can exile people for not frivolous reasons now? Can we hurry up and deport Johnson and his cabinet?
Filming is recommended.
Met police have a terrible reputation.
Planting stuff isn’t beyond them, and they know it.
This ban is not in their powers to do.
There’s clearly a lot more to this. No context and no side of the story from the Met.
Police are filmed day in, day out.
I’d imagine he was interfering and being a pest to the point of obstruction.
