Assaulted By POLICE, For Filming in Public & Searched

SO I was in Leeds City Centre & saw a LArge Police Presence 2X Armed Police, 2x Uniformed Police, 2X CID, 2x Mounted Police. They had a man detained and I was instantly approached and detained manhandled and then accused of being a drug dealer and searched.

As a former police sergeant I despair of this generation of self important bully cops. No respect for the public or their rights. The plain clothes officer was just pissed because Marti dared film them. BTW if any of my section had bent up their cap NYPD style like the first uniformed officer in the video I'd have written him up.

It's why the police are hated so much. What pisses them off is we know the law better than them. Nice one for quoting that swearing at a copper isn't illegal and there was her saying "try it" I would have said "no shit"

[@sodthong]

I suggest you contact crimebodge, that was a blatant case of battery and an illegal search. Sue them.

[@RonSeymour1]

You interrupted the police dealing drugs that they had previously impounded.

[@RonSeymour1]

You were lucky that they didn't plant drugs on you.

We should be allowed to defend ourselves in these situations.

That officer should quit his job and become an optician

[@spectrumisgreen7252]

BLOODY HELL ............ yet another disgrace to the police uniform literally MAKING STUFF UP ...... absolutely outrageous ..... glad your ok?? Marti ...

[@sevenbelow7]

You should have made sure you got their faces on camera the whole time (as that’s what pissed him off). Then let’s get a little background info on the aggressive lying tyrant ! And see how he likes it when his (and his family’s) rights are abused ! Remember these people (like all bully’s) are only big shots when they have back up. Get them on their own and they crumble quickly. Make sure you make a formal complaint as you have lots and lots of witnesses (viewers) that seen him walk up to you and assault you.

[@paulcarb]

Marti please whatever you do get in touch with crimebodge and find out what your options are for this disgusting and completely illegal act of assault false imprisonment and abuse of power, That was the most disgusting abuse of power and bullying I have seen.

[@tyronegray4036]

Stop playing their game! The questions are to confuse you. The search is to get your ID. The talking is meant as a diversion. You should've asked for a supervisor. Not let them search you! You fell for it.

[@1969reverend]

Soon as he was assaulted- he should of Walloped him right on the chin, such utter BS, disgusting behaviour by a copper. Absolute shame to the force.

[@MrAnon-2024]

Look forward to an update on this. They were well out of order.

[@stephg137]

Looks like this cop has just been using intimidation and threats to do his job for so long, he can't open his mouth without lying.

Talk about clutching at straws
