Around 6;00 why would Windsor police station need to have a clean sign just because it is Windsor police station?

[@AbsoluteAudits]

Windsor is one of the wealthiest areas of the U.K., and with the coronation expected 1000x extra tourists to the area. They should have some pride.

[@kbeesmot9928]

@@AbsoluteAudits lame excuse, it is well off the tourist track.

[@AbsoluteAudits]

Why does it need an excuse? And who made you an authority if it is a good enough reason or not? It was merely an observation I made, and verbalised. Not sure why you’re getting your proverbial (or not) knickers in a twist?

[@kbeesmot9928]

@@AbsoluteAudits Calm down, I asked why in your opinion, this sign in particular should be clean. You seem to have taken offence because because I pointed out it is not on the tourist track and I had a different opinion, no one is the authority. I will make a note not to comment on your videos if it offends you. Take it easy, it has been filthy for years. Apologies for upsetting you.

[@mijimonmaster]

There's even a policy about the everyone being allowed to film in public on the MET police website, yet they act like everything's "suspicious" Freedom to photograph and film "Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel."

Your title to this video hits the nail on the head, They pretend filming is a Public Order offence or Hostile Recon, but the reality is they do absolutely fcuk all for 99% of the time WE pay them and that's been a secret they have been able to keep to themselves. Now everyone has a video camera in their pocket and the truth is out. ...And exposing their woeful lack of legal knowledge is the icing on the cake.

[@steveascher1156]

Its amazing how a Cop can be just a few metres away and not be aware of a crime!! When challenged, they say crap like "Oh i suggest that you dont point the camera at him." They are so selective in what crimes that they choose to get involved with! These Cops are not worth ten cents!! They're a waste of money and resources!

[@PJ-wm9nq]

It never ceases to amaze me of the number of police personnel, coming and going from stations that aren't open to the public! They are clueless (deliberately?) about data collection; they just think they can be spiteful and bitchy because you've recorded them! I love the Google street view explanation! More bollocks about number plates....must be a coffee break myth that they perpetuate. They can't have a normal chat without being rude, obstructive and officious. That last bit, in the street, shows their contempt for someone lawfully taking pictures!

[@forthfarean]

They are now skiving stations. No supervision,no discipline.

[@forthfarean]

12:00 that was the worst attempt ever at trying to appear friendly and not interested whilst trying to interrogate you.

[@TheSadButMadLad]

Because they are told that in their training, but because they only have a single brain cell, they don't actually think or even educate themselves as to the likelyhood of actually getting any meaningfull information from a plate.

[@johnscott4693]

LEGALS 1) Beardy Plod… “You can request the photo through the portal in the normal way”. Well, you probably can, but you do NOT have use to their preferred method. All you have to do is email their data controller. Thats it. Their ‘data demand forms’ help them, not us; they take time and energy - and collect a raft of unnecessary data about you. Easy to get wrong or miss a box, all just provides them with more opportunities to delay… and after 30 days the videos are auto wiped. In Law, you simply don’t have to use them. Also, Every employee should, technically, know the name of their “data controller.” It’s reasonable to be directed to a website though. 2) Once, during an data capture incident, someone has told you you’re being recorded , technically no one else in that organisation has to tell you, in Law. So the first Plod broke the Law, the second didn’t. But it remains a policy failure for him not to tell you (it helps remind him, and helps remind you to request both videos). Hint… when requesting data, always request “ALL DATA HELD ON ME FROM ALL SOURCES”. That way, if secretly recorded, you must get it all. Ask for a “non redacted copy”. 3) Silly arrogant armed Plod broke the Police Reform Act by deliberately and knowingly ignoring the report of a threat of assault, a s5 offence. He made matters worse by TELLING you not to inflame the situation and “siding” with the villain. But as we all know, this is todays Plod. Posing with guns, bullying a man on a bench… but when there’s GENUINE criminal offence, they’re not interested. Pathetic. Irresponsible. Shameful. I would have gone berserk with that Plod, requested him name, number, inspectors name and a full explanation as to why the criminal offence right in front of him was deliberately ignored. I’d have reported him as “clearly unstable”… that way a few more reports and he’d loose his right to carry a forearm. What a ****. Overall, well done. But remember … be specific in Law …. Eg. the golden question “which section of which act is that?”

Being a cop is one of the easiest jobs in the world. They spend their time either driving around walking around or in the office DOING NOTHING. Here in Australia some students done surveys (numerous times) about the cops work load and found that 93% of cops actually do nothing in their entire career at the taxpayers expense. These student's wanted to put these findings into local papers news etc but low and behold they weren't allowed to do this and if they did they were up for criminal charges.

15:18 Google do film everything. They do blur things out when they publish. That's a point to remember, filming and publishing are two separate acts. In any case the blurring is done by AI and it can get it wrong. There are many cases where Google's AI hasn't burred plates or faces and many cases where the blurring is done on something inconsequential such as a business name or street sign. So the cop trusts AI and not humans who will decide properly if something needs to be blurred or not according to their own morals.
