(HMP Manchester) Armed Police & Special Operations For A Man With A Drone!👮‍♀️✋🛑🔫💪

[@AY-Audits]

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO WATCHED THE PREMIER AND SUBBED/JOINED MY CHANNEL MEMBERSHIPS

[@nickpotts3913]

Your accent reminds me of my childhood home. I enjoy your content from central Portugal, as I got tired of how spineless and compliant that most people in the UK have become.

[@craigsomerville5176]

Just found this!!!!! It’s over 25 years since I’ve been in Strangeways, before that I used to do a milk round in Ancoats and the Dairy was behind the prison, when the riots kicked off they were throwing slates lol Bootle Street!!!!!!! I’ve been in there for a night too hahaha days gone by….

[@andrewlloyd3973]

Brave pulling out a drone around there suprised you never got mugged 🤣

[@neilrichardson3986]

Agree James was fantastic police officer and should be proud of himself sadly he is a very rare breed.

[@butchbaird1834]

It’s strange that we are all commenting on how James acted ! This is how we pay them to act ! Respect is earned.

[@TheBILLANDERSON]

agree 🙏

[@chuckberet1521]

Big up James the cop. If only they were all like him. Promotion needed, to teach recruits how to do it

[@J0nny61]

PC James was a star, he wasn't perfect but he was way above his colleague who was straight up to his neck in inappropriate and unpleasant behaviour. Great video as usual, thank you Kev.

[@Siwahib]

I can deal with imperfect people.. as long as they're 'humans'

[@kianrushforth8610]

Tbh I think he we’re perfect the exact police officer you would want to interact with for his field

[@Dangerous_Brian]

*"We've had a call so we have to attend"* - Tell that to most citizens of the UK and they would tell you differently!!!

[@havanarose2301]

James was a really nice young man. Hope he goes far in his chosen career.

[@SergeiFedorov77]

That one cop behaved in a really pleasant and respectful manner, he's the cop we need and deserve. The others, well...not the worst we've seen but firearms cop was bordeline ego driven.

[@rogerking2933]

How refreshing to see a nice policemen like James and have a nice friendly conversation 👍up to him there are so many doggy ones.

[@markbanner6473]

Let's hope over time the Officer with the beard doesn't change and that no one no other Officer puts pressure on him to be different. Need more of him. Guys like that get more out of law abiding citizens just trying to earn a living. The situation is sorted in no time and everyone is happy when an Officer is like that.

[@cdnculturedennynetwork4091]

James was very decent and professional, hope he goes straight to the top, respect, one love

[@robertallardice8119]

He won’t, seems too decent.

[@markosmith8037]

2nd comment (3rd including a reply) - great work !

[@thedad7313]

‘Special Operations’ is just what they tell them. They are ‘Special’ for sure, but it mainly involves licking windows

[@tracyniemeyer8691]

What a lovely man James was. If you see this James please don't change please keep the way you are now going forward in your career. You are a saving grace from all the crap police officers xx

[@randysiford135]

THAT YOUNG NICE COP. NEVER ASKED YOU FOR MUCH INFO!! HE KNOWS HOW TO LISTEN!! AND HE IS DIFFERENT!! HE HEARS AND LISTENING AT THE SAME TIME!! GOOD JOB SIR!

[@julianchamberlain5399]

"What you doing flying a drone over the prison".. its like asking someone using a bank "what you doing robbing the bank"

[@mediamayhemmoments]

"They've had a call so they have to attend..." Unless of course you've been burgled, mugged, assaulted etc. In those cases they don't have to attend.

[@cctvgrant1]

Kev, I used to be the Integrated Security Systems Maintenance and call out Engineer for 12 yrs for Strangeways and most other prisons and secure hospitals north of the M62 corridor

[@kenh3344]

Is it an area called strange ways. Or do they have strange ways? The q is why is it called that???

[@PMosstalgic]

James is probably the best police officer I have ever seen in all my time watching interactions online. What a great, professional man he is.

[@johnseabrook1703]

Poor James, that’s his career finished. Decent cops don’t get promoted.

[@simonwallace6880]

This is proper auditing most auditors just hate police and be rude to get a reaction. Genuinely unbiased approach and decent chap, subscribed.

[@AY-Audits]

TY

[@chrisjenkins4094]

Wow you finding good cops James should be proud of himself...thanks james

[@Steve-jh6oz]

Need more officers like PC James decent fella 👍🏻

[@jordanlyons8453]

James is an example of how all Police officers should act, no matter rank or unit. If you are watching James, massive respect.

[@colinpryor4290]

This armed cop is a liar. Also, it is not unlawful to "just be awkward". The Plod didn't seem to like any "animosity" aimed at him, but being the usual hypocritical cop, he had no problems with passive-aggressively aiming some animosity at the Auditor.

[@bryanrotchell1565]

Decent police officer James but the other one he believes in the public , that you was flying the drone over when the veiwer nos you didn't , good video

[@spense5905]

Thumbs up for James, came across as pleasant, no ego or power tripping like some cops! Subbed ya. 👍

[@robertwildgoose3518]

Top man James a lot of police officers should watch this video to see how you should approach and deal with the public

[@Catmad65]

Brilliant interaction with James ..what a lovely man ..well done

[@TheGwentAuditorTGA]

That was crazy how quick the flew up, overall GMP seemed alright, they are pretty used to cameras now though with the likes of Charlie Veitch filming round Manchester all the time. But yeah I’ll definitely do Manchester myself at some point, glad you took the drone up a couple of times though, you got an excellent look at the place. Nice one Kev

[@geoffbreen2386]

James is a breath of fresh air. Simply his tone was respectful towards you. And Trev, that's a nice interaction, his colleagues wanted him back to work, but he was enjoying the conversation.

[@TheOptimod]

It's usually easy to unlock Geofencing restrictions on drones.

[@AY-Audits]

Not on prisons

[@JoeJoe-em4gy]

It means citation ( reference source) needed.

[@joebloggs7389]

Good work lad!

[@jacthelad7989]

Police are always fishing, not just having a cordial conversation, nothing good ever comes of talking to them, all they want to do is hem you up

[@chuckberet1521]

That is true, keep your guard up at all times and tell them f all

[@Lucky13Roadkill]

Interesting & educational in more way than one? 👍

[@thegad650]

The armed cop was ok to be fair, he was polite, just wouldn't call you sir, he was better than 95% I see on these audits.

[@PH5221]

These wanks always feel the need to push it though. He specifically said "can I see your drone please" and this drip had to be cheeky and ask him to say "please sir".

[@TheSadButMadLad]

I disagree. He gave the appearance of being polite, but he was the total opposite. His body language gave him away. James was a natural at being friendly and polite. Compare the two.

[@turkeysmurfs]

police officer needs to be retrained if you want to talk to a member of the public like that then you don't get nothing so stop barking orders it's your policy to identify not ours.

[@clivesmith2886]

Great video , great police officer nice to see a decent one , stay safe retired lifeboatman

[@geraldinechaney1567]

That police man you spoke to will go far ,gentleman Mr james

[@shelly1464]

We like to be treated the same we give respect out. Keep posting your doing a awesome job

[@mattthompson4836]

James is a top cop. More like him, please. 🤜🤛

[@plug4uk696]

The copper James was head and shoulders above the other one in his approach to a member of the public, very Professional indeed ;-) p.s. Trev was a good guy too ;-)

[@tedebaer1]

Great video and the faceblurring was top notch :D Greetings from Sweden.

[@stwb579]

James is a star. What a nice man. Four officers turn up for a man with a drone. We need to cut back and what we spend on the police force.

[@TonyPeterson45]

What annoyed me the most with the first pc was when he asked, "What are you doing with a drone, flying it over a prison?" There was no evidence at all that you had flown over the prison. He jumps straight to the instant accusation of a crime. He could easily have said, "We've had a couple of people say that you've been flying a drone over the prison, so we want to have a quick word just to get your side." Usual approach to try to escalate. The second one though was what every copper should aspire to - low-key approach, friendly and polite. Great audit.

[@AY-Audits]

Thankyou

[@aloh5613]

In the eyes of the police. You are guilty until you prove yourself to be innocent 😂😂

[@Mean-bj8wp]

Don't call them officer's they are constables, Sargent or inspector but never officers.

[@dize3672]

PC James was very decent in his manner, though. Thumbs up to him.

[@tariqaslam1853]

Even the cops have strange ways. Thanks for the vid, respect.

[@forthfarean]

The drone weighs next to nothing .what could it carry and drop over a prison that could he of any use to anyone ? A cigarette perhaps?

[@scottyfarrow]

Great audit.

[@gigachad4594]

Special Operations Officer was quite a cool guy tbh, the armed officer was a right muppet though.

[@brighton_heights]

James is a Good lad

[@leesingleton6212]

Top interaction with Pc James

[@meriemwilliamson1005]

The workman, Trev, was lovely and very informative.

[@michaelwells3211]

The police officer said that they had a call so they have to attend. When I called for a burglary they didn't attend so they don't 'have' to attend.

[@bepto4877]

Member of the public reported it = Lies. He recorded your operator ID on his bodycam while you were showing him the drone, can they get your ID from that?

[@AY-Audits]

Doesent matter mate did nothing wrong who cares if they see it

[@A2Z1Two3]

That would have been down to the auditor to shield the number on the drone ( which he could easily have done) , the officer made no attempt to film the number as far as I can see.

[@MrALANwolf]

great video again mate, always get one but the PC was good with you.

[@JamesSmith-qs4hx]

Absolute professional drone footage. 👍

[@iiamict5724]

Saw u on tiktok so i thought i would check u out on yt and i dont regret it

[@AY-Audits]

Thankyou

[@ptaylor5014]

Wow James is how all officers should behave

[@lumo7461]

You were risking it going round the back there lol it's normaly a right dump. Surprised you weren't mugged tbh James was a star, we need more of him.

[@kenforshaw8901]

Wow what a difference is is now to what it was in the 80’s when an inmate got onto the roof and reckless demolished the roof and I think he spent about a week on the roof and he did a couple of million pounds worth of damage.

[@kenh3344]

Yeh I seem to recall now you mentioned that.

[@Itisfinished.]

James was brilliant and is the perfect role model for other new pc's or better still constables,im not generally a big fan of the police but I do love true law of the land and i absolutely respect a constable in his office but not this modern day policy officer who are trained to see victimless crimes and that a citizen who stands up for their rights is a trouble maker. James reminded me of the good old fashioned common law bobby,they could repair the damaged bridge between the people and the police,get rid of the pirates.

[@garyday7054]

I've noticed in nearly all audits etc when there's police interaction the police never approach the person saying sir I'm am pc ...... Pc James was 100% .

[@martbrown3406]

That Officer James is a brilliant example how officers should interact with members of the public. Zero attitude all professional 👌

[@kevhunta]

cracking video thats made me sub

[@sandrapritchard6035]

Wish all cops were like James, a proper copper...10 out of 10, great vid, AY . Is that the prison that the inmates went on the roof and "took" the slates off for the "RE -ROOFING" heh heh

[@AY-Audits]

Cheers mate and yeah it is

[@christophermcmullan2496]

Brilliant way of conducting yourself Sir .

[@Monsoon-sd6vr]

Well done PC James and Kev !!

[@paulcarter8193]

Very interesting content. Great job 👍

[@oddball7483]

What a change to see a real human interacting with a member of the public. The gun toting ego cowboy would do well to learn from this example. I doubt he will. Saying please or thank you so often is seen as sign of weakness. As my dear old mum (feminist) used to say to us, "manners maketh a man" (or woman)

[@NNC93]

Another one that knows his colleague was rude and totally agrees but stood by him giving excuses.. why do they always stick together like shit Crnt they act on their own have there own opinion and intervene when a colleague is not upholding the law properly .. it just never happens and it’s sad tbh when there ment to be there for the public

[@MJ-hf6qp]

His colleague was not rude at all, he was polite and he asked an appropriate question. He didn’t need to beg and this guy was being awkward and very childish asking him to say “please sir can I”. The man has a job to do and at the end of the day a guy was outside a prison with a drone and it was not an unreasonable request to ask politely can we look at the drone. They don’t need to beg.

[@NNC93]

@@MJ-hf6qp okay officer 👮‍♀️

[@MJ-hf6qp]

@@NNC93 not an officer, just another person with manners and little tolerance of time wasters and obnoxious people obstructing people that are polite and clearly trying to do their job.

[@NNC93]

@@MJ-hf6qp he wasn’t breaking the law tho so doesn’t even need to speak at all tbh with you but he did come over has he said and say what you doing not politely by say good morning mate may I ask what your doing here today it could be said a little better

[@MJ-hf6qp]

@@NNC93 How did they know he wasn’t breaking the law until they established the circumstances? He was polite if you watch the full clip on TIKTOK, he spoke politely, other than getting down on his knees and begging I am not sure what you want from him. Flying a drone near a prison can be seen as concerning for more than a number of reasons and I am sure I don’t need to spell that out to you 🤦🏻‍♀️. So they had every right to ask “politely” what he was doing. You are all making a huge big deal out of a very simple request to a very suspicious situation

[@sharpspencer3234]

As a former steeplejack I think that is a beautiful folly, maybe more attritive than Wainhouse folly, Kings cross.

[@connect4glyn]

Well done to standing up to that cop ( who reminds me of Marti Blackborough ) although the other one was quite civil as were the nice chaps at the end

[@UncleFeedle]

Police are OBSESSED with reasons. There's no reason for you to do that. You don't have a reason to be here. Apparently not having a good reason for an activity makes it illegal.

[@dearnapst]

You said you don't do this because you hate the police, I don't hate the police either, but we need the bad sorted out, so we can have decent officers like James, talking to the public.

[@AY-Audits]

Exactly mate

[@sapankhurst2015]

@@AY-Audits James was great, a good constable. I hope some other constables will learn from him and show respect. I had the idea that there should be an official body to recomend/praise good constables. Kinda the opposite of the complaints...IOPC. We the public need to support the good when it is found.

[@middleman9183]

Anyone who fly's a drone near a prison is either looking for trouble or, needs their head examined.

[@stuartb4525]

This is why they do it, because it's legal. Are you now saying, for example walking past , looking at the prison would need their head examined?

[@davidmccourt1916]

Manners are out the window for people above us (supposedly) i was told as a child not to talk to strangers and still go by that moto to this day. Am I being detained if yes I don't answer questions and I want a lawyer.

[@forthfarean]

How would he know? If you had dropped something off it it wouldn’t be there would if?

[@mfrost71w]

You need a mechanism to hold the contraband and drop it on command. The Ukranian army has adopted prison smugglers cheap 'toy' drones with drop mechanisms to drop grenades and bomblets on Russians

[@sebulreath7401]

A man using a camera. " And they need to get to the bottom of it " Poiteness always supercedes the need for being direct. Do they not have any cameras in the prison courtyard. Being awkward in reaction to an officer with a egocentric approach to people acting within the law. Handled like a pro by this auditor.

[@janneroz-photographyonabudget]

Two different types of police officers. One might go far, the other, not so much. What an ugly building. The tower was interesting. I wonder what it was originally for? I liked they guy who said that sometimes the football comes over the wall. Imagine, it comes over, they let it down, fill it full of contraband, then hoof it back over. I wonder, would the police descend then?

[@AY-Audits]

The 234 feet high tower, which was used for heating and ventilation, has been a local landmark ever since it was built. The T-shaped F wing is used to house the administration on ground floor with the prison chapel above. A plaque in the entrance commemorates the official opening on the 25th of June 1868.

[@janneroz-photographyonabudget]

@@AY-Audits Thank you for that info. Without your video, at street level, even with the tower's height, you might not have captured the images without the drone. Lovely video.
