[@deandevaney4339]

I'm not a legal expert, but if they come up to you and start being argumentative, aren't they the ones causing alarm and distress ?

[@deandevaney4339]

I didn't say it was against the law, but the police did say AB was causing them alarm and distress when they approached him !!!

[@Stuart_George]

No. You misunderstand the law. (As do the police all to often). There is no offence of simply 'causing someone alarm, distress or harassment'. There are other elements required. Depending on the offence, threatening, abusive or insulting words or behaviour, or disordely behaviour are required. Disagreeing with someones point of view, or not liking what they are doing do not automatically create an offence because you are 'alarmed or distressed'.

[@sarahrichards5737]

I’m pretty sure that if they were to explain that they felt uncomfortable with someone filming for a reason unknown to them that they wouldn’t be seen as the ones in the wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️ how were they to know he wasn’t just some weird creep filming for his own jollies? 😂

[@Stuart_George]

@@sarahrichards5737 Legally speaking 'a wierd creep filming for his own jollies' is still not an offence. If the images he films are not indecent he can do with them whatver he wants. I know what you are trying to get at, and I am speaking on a legal level only. Being 'uncomfortable' with someones actions does not make the actions an offence. Turn it round the other way. For instance if you accused me of being a wierd creep, it might make me feel uncomfortable. It doesn't mean you have commited an offence by making me feel uncomfortable.

[@timf5288]

@@andrewstones2921 is correct though, these other comments have it the wrong way around. In the UK it’s possible to bring a private prosecution, but that’s not the same thing as pressing charges. The point is that you cannot tell the police to NOT charge someone with a crime. As the complainant, it’s not up to you. If the CPS have enough evidence to achieve a conviction, they can press ahead regardless of what the victim wants to do. Unlike in other countries where i can decide not to press charges against a guy who punches me in the face. In the UK, that’s not your decision. Private prosecution is not comparable to the idea of pressing charges. That would occur in cases where the CPS did not believe there was likelihood of conviction but someone decides to do it privately - like crimebodge as stated here. He did that because CPS wouldn’t prosecute.

AB is right.. this is not the US where police can do investigative detainment... There are specific powers to detain, Sec.1 PACE, Sec.60, MDA 23.. However, If the officer suspect AB of Sec.5 public order offence his only option is to arrest AB if he insist on leaving.. and de-arrest him if it turned out the information is not true. However, before the officer can arrest AB the officer must have made up his own mind based on objective facts the offence has been committed.. the officer cannot make that determination because his colleague was still speaking to the complainant. In short, that was an illegal detainment.

[@Stuart_George]

Dead right. There are very few powers to detain as such. Stop and search powers are the most obvious. Breach of Peace arrest powers and I believe there is a power under the Mental Health Act to detain. Outside of those there is no power to detain in order to find reasonable suspicion of an offence. Essentially, outsideof the powers mentioned above, an arrest is the constables power of detention. (If memory serves me right, I think there are powers to detain people in premises when executing a search warrant).

Silly Officer should know he has to define the offence. Just saying a public order offence does not cut it. There are many public order offences

[@justanotherviewer4821]

Yeah and it is also bad practice (I assume there is nothing preventing actually requiring this) to:- (a) only notify someone that they are being detained upon them asking if they are; until this point AB wasn't being detained, he could have left on his own accord, and had he not asked, the officer wouldn't have specifically told him he was detained for x offence. I am sure AB isn't a mind reader! (b) detain (or arrest) someone for an offence based upon a phone call allegation without witnessing it or having any evidence to determine one had taken place. I think it is just poor logic to deem someone guilty of the allegation because the detailed description given matches! This is a common issue. (c) on explaining that he was acting lawfully (filming in a public place which he was seen doing - hence this video including the police interaction) to then accuse him of harassing them. I don't think AB was rude and that isn't an offence anyway. We will see much more of officers using POA to incriminate lawful photographers for when the terrorism act isn't sufficient.

[@Stuart_George]

I think it's good practice for them to know and state the actual offence, however I don't think he HAS to state the actual offence Marti. There is case law on a virtually identical event. The officer had just stated 'Public Order' when making an arrest. The Judge ruled that it was acceptable. However the Judge did concede that his 'mind waivered' on this point, so maybe in slightly different circumstances, on a different day, it might be determined that the actual offence from the Act does need to be quoted. But at the moment, I feel the case law would point to the fact that it would not change the legality of the arrest. Case was Walker v Metropolitan Police if you're interested. Funnily enough, if he had bothered to know and learn the public order offences he might have realised he missed some rather important elements of the offence.

[@grouchomarx5649]

@@Stuart_George A ‘stop’ occurs when a police officer or a Police Community Support Officer (PCSO) stops you and asks questions. This is known as a ‘stop and account’, and is not a stop and search. You are free to leave at any time. To work out if you are being stopped and searched or if it is a stop and account, you can ask the officer: ‘Am I being detained?’ A police officer can only detain you when carrying out a stop and search, so if the answer is ‘no, you are not being detained,’ it is a stop and account and you are free to leave. You do not have to give your name and address. They must have reasonable grounds and those grounds must be based on clearly articulable facts. They can't just make it up and stop someone. They then have to explain the stop and give certain information about why they are conducting the stop as well as the relevant section of law that they are relying on to make the stop. This very rarely happens and is as a result of sloppy police training and supervision but it's useful to be an informed member of the public in this regard as if the stop is not conducted correctly you can simply walk away.

[@Stuart_George]

@@grouchomarx5649 Yep, well aware of the difference between stop and account vs stop and search vs arrest. My point was about the fact that officers don't need to state the section and title of the offence when making an arrest. Marti suggested it is required. I disagree, and suggest the case law tends to say otherwise. My comment is not really aimed at what occured here, as he was never arrested, just a more general point. BTW, I also disagree slightly that you can 'just walk away' if it isn't conducted correctly. I can't really see that working in practice. The police aren't just going to let you wander off if they failed to stick to a provision in the Code of Practice (such as the GOWISELY requirements). It may help you in any subsequent civil or criminal proceedings, that they did fail to adhere to the provisions, but I very much doubt that they will just let you leave.

When informed citizens flip that same level of pedantry back to them, they hate it. The same laws they love to enforce like petty school prefects - they don’t like it when the public forces them to adhere to these rules. That cop’s attitude when you dare to suggest he can’t detain you... That same cop is going to happily fine someone 100 quid for dropping a cigarette butt on the floor because it’s the ‘law’. And then comes the patronizing speech from a guy who looks to be about 16 years old explaining stuff he has no place to get involved with. Police are there to enforce laws. You didn’t ask for a lecture from this child, just because he has a police badge he feels he can tell a grown man how to behave? They are so used to people licking boots. The first cop in particular is dangerous. A law unto himself. It’s guys like that who give the police a bad name.
