American Vs British. Police Gets Owned

@@c.t.1699 Maybe you should learn what “anti establishment narrative” actually means before trying to dish it in a sentence. And no, it’s not a “concept”, it’s litterally just term to describe a narrative. And no, I didn’t say that “wearing a badge makes you innocent” that’s just something you invented out of thin air to support your argument, as you cannot debunk any of my actual points, so you resort to making points up I apparently said (which I didn’t) so they are easier to debunk. It’s very pathetic. Oh, and additionally when all you call me “copsucker” in response to valid critique it just demonstrates you are absent of any actual constructive argument. And finally, you are litterally responding to me specifying that the police won’t fine you for saying stuff on Twitter. Well, they don’t. It’s demonstrable. The only circumstances they may use it as evidence is eg. You murdered someone and posted tweets saying you did it. That’s it. They don’t fine you for exclusively posting something on social media. Acknowledge that or don’t.

[@iliyanovslounge]

@Robin Leijon You are so very ignorant it’s painful. One, clearly you did not watch this video as the police demonstrated with specificity how there is sufficent evidence that they match the description of one of the suspects. So no, there is not “no evidence” that’s just something you made up out of thin air to support your argument. It’s pathetic. 2. Claiming the uk is “stupid” is just a defensive mechanism stupid people use to avoid addressing facts. Nope, sorry, the uk is not “stupid” you just said that because you like the narrative that America is god and every other country is meany mean pants. Again, It’s very pathetic. Stop trying. 3. You use the straw ma n of “there is one white and one black must be racist!” That’s as dumb as saying “whenever a black person does something illegal, the police are racist to take action”. Unless you can demonstrate some actual constructive evidence that the police interrogated him exclusively for his skin colour, then consider shutting the fuck up. It’s pretty clear why you present such a false argument, because you are unable to actually debunk what occured, so your brain makes something up out of thin air so it’s easier to debunk and present it as what actually occured in hope that the person reading didn’t watch the video. And finally, I find it astonishing hilarious how your mind uses cognitive biases to avoid reading critiscm, and only reading comments supporting your anti establishment narrative like a little child. Otherwise you wouldn’t have stupidly responded supporting the persons comment claiming “ThEy CaN FiNe YoU FoR TwItTeR” when I litterally debunked it in my next comment with irrefutable evidence. Avoid speaking publicly in the future. The human race would benefit, little boy.

They answered your questions and you didn't like the answers. They attempted on numerous occasions to deescalate the situation and you continued to escalate. If you merely just waited and weren't so aggressive you probably wouldn't have gone into police custody because going by the look at their faces, they wanted to leave the situation more than you did. Did you take up their offer to make a complaint? You did accuse them of unlawfully detaining you. Also, if they let you go to the toilet, you could have disposed of evidence.

Actually, he knows it better than you, and he was correct. The police can detain you for these reasons: PACE stop and search powers. Road Traffic Act powers. Breach of the peace / Prevention of. That's about it, for any other reason then they should arrest you for an articulable offence otherwise your detainment constitutes an illegal arrest - as backed up by caselaw/courts. If you are actually a PC, then you should bloody know this, and probably do but like to ignore it and pretend §44 of the Terrorism act was still available to you to abuse.

[@Enslaver819]

Providing the police with the details they require in order to complete their investigation and then freely walking away after establishing your innocence, THAT is owning the police. Using your constant 'Am i being detained? Am i free to go?' line of arguing and THEN being locked up for 20 hours, THAT is the police owning you. Your line of arguing was basically giving the police as much reasonable belief that you were involved in the crime as if you were seen running away from it.

A very interesting clip because it illustrates the British model of policing so well. In the UK the police are trained to defuse aggressive situations, and that's exactly what happened here. They continued talking calmly and rationally to someone who I'm afraid was behaving like a prat at the time, and it succeeded. (I'm not especially blaming Rome for his behaviour here, as we all act inappropriately at times. That's why our police are good at handling this type of behaviour - they get so much practice!)

Person: "Hello. " You: "I am being detained? I am free to go? I'm an American so I know British laws. I've here with a black guy and i'm a white guy. Am I being detained? I'm educated. I'm an American so I know. Am I being detained? Am I free to go? Am I being detained? " * keep repeating in a loop regardless of them having answered your same questions numerous times This is just embarrassing. They answered your questions numerous times but you didn't want to hear their answers. You weren't even willing to hang about for 10 minutes, even when the police explain about the incident that you may have witnessed. These officers were exceptional in their behavioural, and you were just outright rude, disrespectful, verbally aggressive, confrontational and weirdly repetitive. You aren't in America buddy. Take that chip off your shoulder.

Legality is a presumption until disputed at common law. Contradiction is their presumption to breach someones fundamental inalienable rights, based solely on a presumption....Fuck that! Policy officers are ordered to go out and catch criminals, their remedy is their wages. Every order must have remedy in the form of a bill/charge. Can I freely go or are you ordering me to stay? Time is money.

[@barbarossa5700]

Good there's no amendments, why should rights be up for a debate or open to change? Don't you understand the difference between legal and lawful? Just because you are ignorant of the law in favour for their selective presumed legality, that they themselves can't actually present. Shows how bent they are and how gay you're for it. The cops are lucky as i wouldn't have given them as much time as this dude.. Why would any cunt want a lawyers whos only role is the BAR mans access to the law.

[@marcustrevor1883]

[@soniamadhukra]

Dude - you'll catch more flies with honey. There's absolutely no need to argue with these cops. I'm Irish, and despite a certain history betwen our countries, I always find British cops very well mannered. They're asking you not to leave the scene of a crime. I strongly suspect that American or Irish cops would have asked you precisely the same thing. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why they want potential witnesses to hang around. You may think you didn't see anything significant, but they're paid to make that call and they have to talk to you first. Of course it's an inconvenience if you've some place else to be, but if you'd just been polite to them, you may have had a far better reception if you (after a reasonable period of time) quietly asked if your statement might be taken asap. I'd imagine your mouth may have been the cause of your going to the back of the queue. In America, Ireland, Britain, Russia, or even Timbucktoo, it is never a good idea to argue with cops. They have the power, you don't. Just learn to live with that and your interactions with them will be happier calmer affairs.
