I will say again, WHY can't we have ALL coppers like this sgt??? THAT is how they should interact with the public. refreshing...I hope he watches this video and takes a handshake from me.

[@TheCapitalist]

First time I’ve seen an officer genuinely make sure his staff are behaving correctly. Well done to that sergeant.

[@sebastianeisenberg3826]

They can say anything I wouldn't ever trust police whether good or corrupt they all stick together lie in bed with each other even if he says he going to talk to his staff doesn't mean he will because they can all lie to the members of the public yes he might talk them he may not but on hearsay saying he has or he will can never be guarantee he will unless one can prove he has done it police are sly they all lie and one can easily tell with their demeanour with their nice talk whether there lips are moving is a way of them making stuff up unless one can prove this person has spoken to his staff about what Power is getting at I wouldn't necessarily believe it because no one can trust them they can lie they are able to lie the Courts have ruled in their favour for them to lie to the members of the public but if they are being criminally investigated and under oath in a Court of Law then they aren't able to do that necessarily when they act as aa witness or a suspect and being cross-examined by the Prosecution and the Defence but to a member of the public they can lie and they all do that to literally anyone even if they are under oath to act with honesty integrity and professionalism I never trust the police at all even if he is cordial professional in an interaction doesn't mean he doesn't lie and isn't two faced by the scenes because their is a rule not to trust the police unless you know that police officer in the police service that he doesn't do that and you know he or she doesn't

[@TheCapitalist]

@@sebastianeisenberg3826 I understand your point, but my point is just that it’s good to see this type of interaction rather than police overreacting and using section 43 and just generally being a tyrant. This is a step in the right direction and it should be acknowledged if we want more of it. These audits have definitely been having a positive influence on the police, so if we want to see the corruption change we should acknowledge the positive changes.

[@qtube1980]

To reduce the risk of high speed collision, you would expect car 1 to have been told that car 2 was now available & not the nonsense 'sarge' came up with,

[@jsteadman9262]

They didn't have a car then magically found one, sounds very normal to me. Don't see how it can be much of an emergency if they have time to go back to the yard and swap them around, why didn't the officer that was already out in the car attend? Maybe they had a quick video call and played rock paper scissors to determine who would attend?

[@garrycope]

In an ideal world auditors should be allowed to turn up without warning to inspect police procedure and ask questions of officers, questions on procedure, laws etc. To inspect vehicles, holding cells, booking in proceedures and accessibility to the public. Auditing should be the norm, nothing to hide, no problem.

Good point about the PCSO’s driving police cars. If the budget doesn’t stretch to there own cars then they could put magnetic signs over the top of the words police, so it reads PCSO.

Hi P t t P, this turns into an interesting encounter with a sensible sergeant who actually seemed quite interested in what you were telling him, how odd it is that it seems so easy for some of them to be like this. when he tries to explain the reason for sending PCSO's out in marked cars was almost credible, a vast improvement on the usual frantic copwaffle.

[@ShellL]

No because they are driving illegally & need to stop.

[@ianhill4585]

From a point of logic, I'd stop under 163, for a liveried police car, when signalled to do so, because I may not know straight away the driver was a Pcso. I'm guessing Pcso's don't have the remit, to do 163's. I'm waiting on my education. 🤗

[@johnscott4693]

@@ianhill4585 I can only give all my legal view, based on two facts. 1 You must stop for a Constable in uniform. Lots of a case law about this, but in short “a car with a blue light is enough”. 2 You do not have to stop for a PCSO. Two sub Points! One you have stopped. If the Constable is himself in uniform, you can call for a liveried car / more police IF you feel vulnerable. Applies to lone females in deserted areas for example. If the Constable is not in uniform, you should always ask for a uniformed officer to arrive. If the driver is not a Constable, but a PCSO one of 2 things happens A) He is “giving traffic directions/ instructions” to the general traffic, or doing a census. That’s Lawful and must then be obeyed (may be another unusual exception listed but I can’t recall. Don’t think so!) BUT he had no legal right to stop you under s163. B) Anything else, drive off and make a complaint. He abusing his powers. No didn’t different from a guy in fancy dress stopping you - you’d assume he’s a PC. But once it’s clear he’s not, you’d drive off. NB. If you didn’t stop, I doubt you could be prosecuted but I’m aware of no case Law. It all depends on what’s meant by “traffic directions”. Most would say it’s “go down there, not there, stop as I act as traffic lights” and so on - ie based around “an incident” where traffic needs directing. If that’s not the case, the PCSO (in fact anyone other than a Constable or higher rank) has definitely exceeded his powers.

[@kevcification]

HH, there is absolutely no ambulance/fire/police policy that states that.

[@hhatkin]

The policy of keeping strictly to the uniform goes back to beginning of policing, when R Peel invented it. I see no reason to change that.

[@kevcification]

@@hhatkin Firstly please provide a link for that original policy as i've been unable to find it. If it's a police policy (long since superseded) it has zero relevance to the Fire and Ambulance services who also chose to wear the red and green line symbols to honour their fallen and raise funds for their dependents. Secondly the Blue/Red/Green line symbols draw inspiration from the Union Flag but aren't the actual Union Flag, therefore they can't be a damaged Union Flag. Your welcome to your opinion but the actual evidence/current policies don't support it.

[@hhatkin]

R Peel included a restriction in order to keep the police completely independent. Allowing one exception would allow any other exception. The restriction may have been superseded, or circumvented, in some forces, but imho should not have been. They say it's to support injured officers but surely they all do that anyway. I don't follow your argument about it not being a union flag.

[@johnbratley6926]

Under current legislation PCSO's cannot drive on blues and two's under any circumstances. Paradoxically special constables in some forces now have standard response training and can respond on blues and twos in marked vehicles. Some forces use special constables to man unmarked ANPR equipped vehicles for stationary vehicle stops of offending vehicles.

[@sebastianeisenberg3826]

Special constables have the same powers as any police constable or any other police officer they are voluntarily unpaid staff representing the police force they are not PCSOs under any circumstance special constables can stop search and arrest an individual PCSOs can't that's the difference so there isn't really any parallel here

Very good audit by PTTP, he raised some very good questions and personal opinions with Sgt. #2784 about various things, it's nice to hear an auditor not be worried or embarrassed about admitting they are one when asked by a constable or officer. There is nothing to be ashamed of saying you're an auditor, in fact you should feel good about saying it, exercising and educating people on your right to lawfully film in public and keeping your government officials and employees accountable for transparency reasons is a worthy job which can lead to positive and productive changes happening in society which is what we need and want to see happen. Sgt. #2784 was professional, polite, friendly and didn't appear to have a big ego complex which a lot of PCs and officers suffer from in this day and age, he investigated the blues and twos incident and reported his findings back to PTTP out of courtesy which was decent thing for him to do. As for restricting or blocking police carpark gates when auditing, in my opinion it is always best for your own safety to stay on the grass verge or pathway to the left or right of this enterance/exit way slip road, the police get very finicky and fussy about these sorts of things and I have seen many auditors in the past get detained, searched and even arrested on a bogus charge(s) for obstructing their station carpark gates, it's not worth the grief so just use your common sense and apply it applicably where needed.
