UK Police Attempt to Stop Public Filming — Sergeant Arrives and Clarifies the Law

Описание: #PublicPhotography #PoliceAudit #CaughtOnCamera
This encounter at Colindale Police Station begins with a simple, lawful activity: filming from a public pavement. What follows is a clear example of how a routine situation can escalate when officers misunderstand — or misapply — basic public rights.

A plain-clothes officer refuses to properly identify herself, despite policy requiring warrant card identification when not in uniform. The situation quickly intensifies as officers make incorrect claims about boundaries, access, and alleged obstruction — including accusations that the cameraman was “blocking vehicles,” despite video evidence showing otherwise.

As more officers arrive, we see:

❌ Repeated false assertions about public pavement being police-only

❌ Claims of “suspicious behaviour” based solely on filming

❌ Confusion over public vs restricted access

❌ Attempts to control lawful movement without legal grounds

When a sergeant finally attends, the situation is immediately de-escalated. The sergeant confirms what the law already states:
✅ Filming from a public place is lawful
✅ Public pavement remains public up to physical barriers
✅ The cameraman had broken no law whatsoever

This video highlights serious concerns around:

Police accountability

Identification requirements for plain-clothes officers

Misuse of “safety” and “suspicion” as justification

How easily lawful activity can be challenged without cause
