Police auditors

[BackhouseParkRangers]

I can vouch for this sort of stuff happening. I don’t know @BlackOps so I imagine the incidents I know about are separate- but property has been damaged simply because people were serving cops.

I know a gas fitter who had an irate bloke turn up at his door wanting to knock him out because the boiler he’d repaired earlier in the day had gone off again.

If people can get themselves that irate over a cold shower, I reckon that following coppers is easily something that will happen.

This is the exact issue. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should do it. However, coppers should know the law and not pretend these losers are terrorists.

If they feel they are a threat they absolutely should. And to be honest I would probably advocate a crack on the skull. Might knock some sense in and an fucknuttery out

There’s a retired cop in my old force who had to leave the country due to the threats and other stuff he was getting from someone he dealt with when serving. So it’s definitely not an isolated incident.
Oddly enough there was a lad from Sunderland who found out where another officer from my old force (in the East Midlands) lived and was stalking him incessantly. Don’t know the outcome but I can guess it was pretty scary for the cop involved.

I'm happy to disagree. Coppers need to abide by the law. Feeling a threat from some trainspotters with a camera is a joke.

Sad wankers need to get a life. And a job.

It's the demographic that terrorists spring from. Disenfranchised, largely unskilled, desperate to make a name for themselves. Posting incendiary stuff on the internet to undermine authority. It all fits.
I'm a football fan, I'm not going to suggest for one minute that the police don't overstep the mark and abuse their powers. There is clear evidence of them abusing terrorism laws in the past, but I think they are within their rights to question these individuals under terrorism laws.
Would everyone on the side of the auditors be as casual about it if the people filming public buildings were Muslim?
TBH, until this thread I didn't know these people existed, but the amount of people who think owning a cameraphone turns them into Roger Cook gets right on my tits.

They certainly do need to abide by the law but is being deliberately antagonised by these blokes the best way to ensure they do?

Having said that, I do think the police should be briefed on how to deal with these people better. If they don’t get the confrontation their videos won’t get the views and they won’t pocket the ad revenue.

Depends if they follow you home from the cop shop to your home where you life with wife and two kids. I k ow you'll argue differently but if that happened to you S a result of doing a Jon you'd thi k differently

No that is a totally different matter and suspicious behaviour. They should 100% get investigated for that.

Train spotters and bus spotters would fall under suspicious behaviour. Photographing movements of trains and monitoring public transport systems.

If the coppers were suspicious the whole country is covered in cctv cameras. The last thing you would want terrorists to know is that you have rumbled them. They will go to ground and start elsewhere. (I made that up but it sounds plausible)

Worthy of a hard drive check if nothing else.
If you asked them what they were doing, I'm sure they would have a plausible (if dull) explanation. People filming police stations, less so.

AB is one of the decent ones. PJ/DJ Audits too.

Watch marti blagborough if you think they're dodgepots.

Someone from here does them too, public eye.

I’ve had the misfortune of seeing some of Mr Blagborough’s content. Wasn’t there some accusations of him misappropriating funds raised for him for other purposes?

 

[Horatio Pugwash]

If the coppers just ignored them they would soon lose interest and fck off.
Half a dozen coppers surrounding them playing billy big bollocks and misquoting laws just plays directly into their hands.

And filming in public isn’t a good enough reason to use pace to make you hand over your details. Didn’t take long for the filming your house argument to come. He isn’t filming your house, he’s filming a public building in broad daylight. Even the met released a memo to all police officers about public filming and the terrorism act but police are still abusing it

Slightly different circumstances, if a bloke stood outside a school and videoed the children coming and going, I’d find that quite alarming or distressing. Do you agree that could be anti social behaviour and it might be an idea to get his name to check if he is, for example, a sex offender?

 

[seaham ftm]

Just became aware of these people from this thread. Very well done to them for trying to ensure the police are following the laws of the land. Extremely concerning how many people on this thread are championing the police acting unlawfully and do whatever the hell they like. Worrying times ahead for this country and many others.

What if he was taking photo's of a tourist attraction?

 

[Holy Guacemole]

Wow . What a pile of absolute shite.
How can someone find out were a copper lives if they watch them in a car park ?

How do companies know where to send parking eye fines?

What if he was taking photo's of a tourist attraction?

Would you be alarmed or distressed by someone doing that? No.

There’s quite a distinction though between videoing a school, a police station, army barracks for example and taking a photo of Penshaw monument.

What a weird remark.

I'll ignore the petty insult
Would you be distressed at someone videoing a police station?

One thing they all have in common is it's not illegal to take photo's of them.

I wouldn’t no but if I was a police officer and saw someone videoing the station I might be concerned about it. It would almost certainly be a public order offence I.e. likely to cause harassment, alarm or distress, if someone was for example, videoing the comings and goings at a barracks whilst wearing a t shirt supporting ISIS. It’s about the context.
