I once missed a flight in the UK to Ireland because of a bomb scare at a train station which held up the train to the airport. A lot of others did too, so alternative flights were full. Rather than pitch a fit, like you I was calm about it which shocked the staff (as there had been several meltdowns ahead of me), but I figured there was nothing I or they could do so no point in screaming at them. But because of being chill (and I was one person) the airline was like "come back here in 20 minutes and see if someone hasn't shown up for the next flight". Well I did, and with a wink from the airline I had been upgraded and given priority boarding on the next flight too. It pays to be nice!

You catch more flies with honey than vinegar. Sounds like you were raised with the same principles as me. My mum would say “courtesy costs nothing and often gains you much.” Another of her favourites was “a smiling pleasant attitude turns strangers into friends” 😊

Had a similar one myself, missed a flight through my own fault. The guy in front of me was was berating this poor girl at the desk that she "had to get him on the next flight and he would not be paying for it." He go nothing and walked away screaming that he would fly with that airline again. I am thinking, great she's gonna be in a foul mood now and I'm gonna get screwed over because of that prick. So I approach and politely explain that I had missed my flight, that it was my fault and could she get me on the next available flight. She smiles and says "certainly sir, the next flight is in two hours time, is that good for you?" I said that would be perfect, pulled out my wallet and said "What do I owe you?" and she smiled again and said, oh don't worry, I'll transfer your ticket free of charge." Being polite often works.

[@danielgardecki1046]

The US first amendment, is the same in the UK under the Magna Carta - He has the right to freedom. If the cops want to keep him there, they need to quote the section of the law which they suspect him of committing. For example, "You're being detained under Section 39, of the Criminal Justice Act 1988" You can't just detain someone when there's no proof of them committing a crime, as that will be unlawful detainment, and you can get compensation. You can't just say "You're being detained while we investigate, because someone has been assaulted" as that is still unlawful detainment. If he tries to walk off, and the cops arrest him, then that will be an unlawful arrest leading to even more compensation.

​@@danielgardecki1046bullshit

[@Sofasurfa]

@@danielgardecki1046 I do believe that you are quite right about the detainment, according to my daughter who is an ex police sergeant an individual cannot be detained without arrest, the police can however request that an individual remain to assist them with their enquiries, as in an incident such as this there is potential for individuals to have information that could possibly be relevant thus they generally ask everyone to remain while they get to the bottom of what occurred. He could have told them he needed to be somewhere in which case they can ask for contact details in the event they need to talk to him. And I don’t believe the police actually mentioned the word detain they asked him to remain, he was the one that kept saying are you detaining me and they were very careful to avoid saying that, they merely reiterated why they wished him to remain in situ, although I do believe it has been said that he was in fact arrested in the end. Not surprisingly, his attitude was really rather suspicious, when in fact he was simply being a clever clogs, not a good look. And given there had been a serious assault wouldn’t you want to offer help even it was just giving them information that allows them to know you haven’t seen anything of relevance? I know I would.

Its pretty standard in the UK when a crime of a serious nature is commited that the police will instantly do things like this and stop movement of everyone in the area. They do this while they gather information of the crime to find out whats happened. By doing this, it also stops any contamination/destruction of any possible evidence which could be anything from fingerprints/footprints to more vital evidence such as the destruction/hiding of things like weapons or drugs. The police have the right to detain anyone in the area and also to perform a search on them too if they believe they may have something on them.

[@thefiestaguy8831]

You American by any chance? As a British police officer myself he would most definitely NOT be in the right. Asking someone to remain whilst a crime is investigated is the same as "detaining" someone, provided it is made clear they cannot leave (which it was on multiple occasions). Him trying to leave then allows them to use reasonable force to stop him from doing so. If they have the suspicion that he is involved and there is a necessity to do so, if he tries to leave they can just immediately arrest him. If it transpires 10 minutes later he wasn't involved or was just a witness he can be de-arrested on the spot. Americans also have a habit of confusing "Charges" with "Offences".... you don't get "Charged" at the roadside for an offence, you might be suspected of an offence. Once all evidence is collated if there is sufficient evidence AND they decide it is in the public interest to prosecute you for that offence THEN you may be "Charged" with that offence, which would mean going before a court. @@Unclep318

For me its not so much that Americans being friendly is a bad thing, its that they over share. You can spend an hour with an American and they'll tell you the stories of their aunts and uncles, meanwhile you can be friends with a Brit for 6 months and not know his surname

I don't know if this will improve your mood but a few days ago I was on a bus here in Sussex, UK and there were a few americans on the seats behind me. There was a California state flag patch on one of their bags. They were speaking in that uniquely loud accent but were polite. When they got off the bus they thanked the driver in a way that, for a moment, made me think they were canadian.

They didn't quote any sections, therefore this would be a quick and easy compensation claim for HNK Solicitors.

[@christinestromberg4057]

@@danielgardecki1046 They were being detained because they were suspects in an investigation of assault. It is standard procedure here in the UK when a crime of a serious nature is commited that the police will instantly do things like this and stop movement of everyone in the area. They do this while they gather information of the crime to find out whats happened. By doing this, it also stops any contamination/destruction of any possible evidence which could be anything from fingerprints/footprints to more vital evidence such as the destruction/hiding of things like weapons or drugs. The police have the right to detain anyone in the area and also to perform a search on them too if they believe they may have something on them. This man put this up on his channel later on to show how "he" showed his marvellous debating skills against UK police . . . I don't know if he also told them that he then got detained further for 24hrs in a police cell and then released the next day - more than likely for obstruction the police during an ongoing investigation . .

A woman had been assaulted in the lavatories at the pub where they were being detained, naturally the police were speaking to everyone on the premises at the time. This guy talked them into a night of "reflection" in custody for obstructing the police 👍🙄🤪 I bet his mate was thrilled, mind you he did allow the 'educated' one to prattle on without trying to stop him. They weren't charged with the original offence. It's interesting to note that the 'entitled one' didn't show the bit where he was doing the walk of shame, the next morning, from the police station 🤔 🙋‍♀️🇬🇧🤗

Or to rule them out of their enquiries. Stand there for 10-20 mins, give them your details, then go on your way

[@danielgardecki1046]

You've clearly never given a statement of any kind to the Police. It takes them forever to write up a two minute incident, and they make multiple mistakes, even when you repeatedly mention the things they made mistakes on as they were writing it, to try and prevent them from making mistakes. For example, I live on a road where a man smashed a car window, and tried to steal a phone. The road is named ROAD, yet even though the cop was local, was sitting on my ROAD at that very moment, and drives up my ROAD all the time, he wrote it down as LANE, which is a completely different street a mile to the West.

[@vladd6787]

I was once stopped because of a problem with my rear lights on my car, when the summons arrived it stated I was on my own, when in fact my wife, who was eight months pregnant so rather visible, was with me.

[@thefiestaguy8831]

As a UK officer myself, there is NO legal requirement OR power for a police officer to force someone to remain present to provide a witness statement. Statements can be given freely through choice of the person but they cannot be forced to give one. Why? Because if the case ends up in court, and the person chooses to go on trial (pleading not guilty) the witness is highly likely to be expected to turn up, to be asked about the incident by the prosecutor AND then be cross-examined by the defence barrister who will attempt to pick holes in their statement and make their evidence seem totally not credible. It's not a particularly pleasant experience so they can't force anyone to provide a statement. A Court MAY summon someone to court, and FORCE them to attend.... however the court CANNOT force that person to speak and give evidence in court. I dealt with a victim who was "subpoena'd" to court to give evidence against her ex-partner who had beaten her very badly, she was forced to attend court, so she did, because otherwise she would have been arrested. However she turned up at court and said nothing because there is no legal requirement or power that allows the court to force her to speak, only to attend. Low and behold, as expected, the case was dropped.

[@danielgardecki1046]

@@thefiestaguy8831 It wouldn't bother me. I've made multiple witness statements in my life, for things like assault, theft, robbery, crashes, causing death by dangerous driving etc, and they always warn me that I might have to go to court, and I'm always like "No problem."
