You are trying to make the uk police service look as incompetent and vicious as american police. this is just wrong, and must stop. The uk police SERVICE is better trained, they are in the classroom for 18 months, assessed weekly and monthly. After their classroom training they accompany an officer on the beat for a further 12 months, and they are assessed monthly. If they fail an assessment when they are on the beat, they are returned to the classroom, and if they fail any part of this second classroom based training they are removed from the police service. In the uk there is GDPR law which makes recording in.public without the permission of those being recorded illegal. I hope this cameraman is rotting in jail just now.

Inspector Lane 2774 was reasonably professional and polite but some of the questions he asked the guy did not serve any logical purpose whatsoever. The senior officer went on a mini fishing expedition to see what generalised information he could obtain from the man by way of the consensual conversation, none of which had anything to do with him; he was just being nosy for the sheet sake of it. I've got some doubts as to why this armed to the teeth firearms officer was called out to what I could make out appeared to be just a routine traffic stop, unless there had been an emergency call that came in and the information given made this incident more serious than depicted in the video. Once again we see an officer trying to escalate a situation by turning a swear word used in a comment, which was not abusive and threatening into something more than it actually was, but this is how petty the police have become in this day and age, they'll arrest anyone if that opportunity presents itself, and a lot of the time it's usually legally unjustified. It really winds me up when I hear a police officer say they don't want to arrest a person, trying to make it sound like they actually care and appealing to your best interests, they're hypocritical liars. If this ARO did arrest that guy for a Public Order offence, it's no skin off of his nose, the officer would just be saying to himself: "I'm just doing my job and making more money for the state, my conscience is clean and it's you that will be heavily inconvenienced from spending hours in a custody cell, interviewed and then have to attend court to try and clear your name, as well as potentially receiving a criminal record if found guilty by the judge and be financially crippled with all the legal fees/fines and solicitor costs."
