American Reacts to "Educated" American thinks he can school Police in London. 

I'm Australian, love love loved my time in Britain and Europe. I hope I get to come back some time. I don't understand why people like this would ever leave their own country with this attitude. What's the point if you don't want to engage with other cultures, and learn about the world? I can fairly confidently say most Australians won't want you here with that sort of attitude either. Some of us would like it just for the entertainment, but we won't be laughing with you*. *You as in the type of people like the man filming, not you, you.

As a Brit I’m so glad to hear that, you’d be more than welcome back in the future :) This may just be me but I feel like the English and Australians are like cousins, I absolutely love Aussies and unlike some Americans especially any like the one in this video, it seems like Brits and Aussies have a similar humour style that is quite laid back and sarcastic, plus we have similar attitudes to swearing. I saw a video of an American saying to his mother the word “hell” and she literally started screaming and collapsing. A lot of adult Americans won’t even say words that were spoken in the first Harry Potter film lmao 😂

Brits are so civilised. Just the patience of those three police officers, keeping their tone respectful and low, says it all about the country

Pienamente d'accordo!

@@fmartingorbYes, it's like the opposite of Florida 😂

Yea thats how human psychology works...

​@@DK_1983You mean sexist psychology. Are you suggesting that it is normal to be rude to women?

Not necessarily, but kinda yes, at a very base level humans perceive women as less intimidating and more approachable, coupled with differing testosterone levels and basic sexual dimorphism, generally guys will be less likely to back down to women exerting authority than men. Note this is how a person will react subconsciously, and is relative, which is why it's still very easy for the female cops to control themselves 2 as even if they aren't as intimidated, there is still body and spoken language being used by the policewomen that made it pretty clear they'd lay these 2 out if they're pushed to. After all that it really just comes down to order of meeting as the female officers engaged first their job is to minimise escalation while containing people, even if that means wasting time until bigger levels of force can arrive, has the situation been reversed, the exact same sequence of events would have happened, but the levels of intensity would be very different. Remember, these 2 caused a scene long enough to get arrested, in this situation you really, REALLY need to push their patience to do that.

Absolutely 💯

Our Police de-escalate situations. It’s soft Policing. These days perhaps too soft. They don’t have a heavy response. Unless, it turns violent. He only responds to a male Officer. He is taking up the time of four Officers. Who could be on other duties. The sirens in the background show that it maybe a serious matter.

Forgot to add and then B*ch about the fact that they dont get answers.

@@mbos14 I would just stay silent until the guy is done interrupting/hearing himself speak and is actually ready to listen. This guy is wasting so many resources by keeping 3 officers from doing their jobs while having a conversation that he insists on having go in circles. The ignorance and entitlement is unreal.

It absolutly will win points, but only negative points.

So Belgium enforces a religious law by keeping Sunday holy?

@@xymonau2468 It's origins were indeed religious. And also not. During the industrial revolution the church was used as a means to pacify the ppl, but this could only be done if ppl were able to go to church and hear about how they should be happy that they were poor and miserable so as to try and keep the rich in power. So the sunday was declared a day off, and eventually allowing the ppl a day of rest. Also if you know about the working conditions back then, it was also the only way to not have ppl just die all over the place, while also ensuring that ppl wouldn't just start murdering the bosses.) So it was a double whammy for those in power, the church got to keep indoctrinating it's flock, and the rich were able to keep their heads. Then came the socialist revolutions and uprisings, and ppl gained rights and could no longer be used as some form of serf. But as it was a firmly catholic country, the sunday kept being a free day where workers were free. Lateron the saturday was added as a "free day", where ppl can just do whatever, that's where the concept of the weekend came from. Nowadays, it has nothing to do with religion at all. The only thing about the sunday is that it's pretty much "sacred" (in a non religious way) to everyone here. The sunday is now mostly a day where family comes together, which is possible because most shops/businesses are closed. (also, if you do have to work on a sunday you get double pay). We don't mess around with this, virtualy nobody cares about religion anymore over here, but if you dare touch our sunday we will fight you. And nobody wants a family dinner where your neighbours are banging on the walls, playing loud music etc. So you could say that the sunday rest day laws also serve to keep the peace between neighbours. Also, what is so bad about a day in the week where you aren't constantly bombarded with noise? You should try it sometime, it's wonderful. TLDR: it has nothing to do with religion anymore. You'll know how little influence religion has over here if you hear the reaction of ppl whenever some religious dude wants to have a law enacted that is clearly religious. Ppl over here have given their lives in order to have a society where religion doesn't have a say in public life. And yet we still respect our sunday, that should tell you all you need to know about how special a true rest day is. (If you want to have some more insight in this, you should watch the movie "Daens", it's an old one, but it's one of the most accurate depictions of the industrial revolution and explains where socialism came from. It is no accident that Marx wrote his communist manifesto while living in Belgium. Life was so terrible here for virtually anyone back then that it was bound to result in a complete rejection of the established order).

I mean, apparently he still felt right til the end, since he still posted it, but im glad they weren't just let go out of pure annoyance

The British police obviously let them spend their time freely. Patience can't be their only tool, can it?

They also could've got through it and let them go (or arrested them if involved) if he'd stopped rambling on. The first 2 couldn't make any further enquiries whilst he kept them stopped there going in circles threatening to leave if they didn't remain with him.They had too much patience for my money when they had the power to arrest him for obstruction. What a waste of resources for one selfish person (who also dragged out the wait time for the other bloke to access a toilet).

Bingo. Somehow this is actually a thing. An inability to grasp that laws in different countries are different from the US.

They're based on human rights though.

​@@endemion06463 still doesn't knock out his reaction

@@ciaranmcewan-hill So only people from the US have human rights? Anyway the US an GB use the same common law system. Very few actually know how to work that system though (Karl Lentz is one of those few). This sort of thing does showcase how wrong it is to have (obviously) arbitrary rules and regulations applied on a human being. If you delve into it you get to the whole legal vs lawful aspect of things, very important but education on this is (purposefully) severely lacking among cops and the population.

No shit Sherlock

Being loud, do not make people right.

Wow I am sorry but your statement is just as ignorant as this man's ignorance. Most Americans are calm, kind and respectful people. That understand and respect the differences in cultures. I am Canadian and deal with Americans almost every day and while some rude and ignorant 95% of them aren't.

@@pyewaket1 rather like a British tourist in any non-English speaking country, myself included when I was in France, though most did speak good English, it was just a few rural folk that I had to dig out my very basic secondary school French for!

I noticed the same, for me Americans are like bunch of Andrew Tate’s, lol They even have similar mindset

I haven’t actually met this American I’m referring to, but we have been online friends since before the turn of this century, (gawd we’re old lol) . We’ve never had a cross word, I’m friends with her siblings and her friends. She’s friends with my children and some of my friends. More than anything, we laugh, pick on each other in a friendly way and laugh. We are still translating Aussie words to USA and visa versa. So yeah, 26 years of online friendship without one argument. There are good and not so good people in every country. Her brother is a uni/ college lecturer. Boy do I give him heaps lol. He has the driest funniest sense of humour. Just my little story of long distance long time friendship between 2 different countries.

The officer was so respectful and polite. From what I have seen American police would be alot more actively taken action.

This has nothing to do with education, it's to do with this persons attitude. You can be the most intelligent person but still have a good or bad attitude. Also education in America is NOT all the same, just like it's not all the same in England and other countries. I hate when people judge a whole country the same by the small one person or groups of people who acts wrongly.

@@CuriosityKitty-j5j It has EVERYTHING to do with education.....

@@MickH60 I'm not saying education is wrong , I'm saying that it doesn't work on everyone, there's just some people that are mentally wired wrong and they'll act as they please , or act up and not really realise what they're doing is wrong. Depends on the type of person they are. But that's just my opinion

@@CuriosityKitty-j5j look up education seems u lack it. u are discerning formal education with general education Education as such actually covers the whole spectrum of behavior to function in a group setting and the required behavioral patterns in your immediate surrounding and does include being able to see the social stratas .Bypassing these facts ..as this is my opinion..actually shows the flaws in yours.

In the US he would be arrested for disturbing the peace or for being so conniving. Maybe hindering a investigating too.

And you specifically do not have a right to remain silent unless you are closely related to the perpetrator and are not accused of a crime yourself.

In the US they say: "You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law." In the UK they say: "You have the right to remain silent. But we advice against that, because anything you will say later to your defence may be dismissed in a court of law." Big difference.

@@dustylong that's a complete lie.

@@dustylong I`m in Scotland where we have a different legal system, and that's definitely incorrect.

@@Argosh In the UK they say, “You do not have to say anything. But it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.”

Olive Garden is an insult to Italians anyway.

@@diarmuidkuhle8181 Yes, I have recently learned this. A shame they didn't visit the beautiful gardens I suggested.

Don't know if it was the same idiot but recently it was reported that some idiot arrived on a plane with a gun (doesn't say a lot for US security in their airports that they let him through and onto the plane) and he left on the same plane minus his gun. Apparently he wrote to the US govt to complain that they'd nicked his gun. No idea what happened after that. There are also stories of USAmericans turning up at European airports with guns in their possession as well (do they even have security in the US I wonder) and they get the same treatment. Rapid return home sans weapon(s).

@@musicandbooklover-p2o In the US you can actually travel by plane with guns... secured in your luggage. (apparently, you show it to security, and they lock up your carrying case so nobody can touch it. Actually people uses it to carry fragile items they don't want the TSA to tear in :D ) So let's be charitable and say that it's how those people turned up with guns in Europe (I assume the companies don't care nor warn their customer about being sure they can import a gun in Europe).

@@LeSarthois I'm not sure you can even travel with them in your luggage in a lot of cases either. I've seen claims you have to have special locked, almost like gun safes, and a ton of paperwork and permits before you can travel with your firearms (thinking you are someone specialised in culling specific animals or maybe travel armed for your work such as working in security. Either way, if you are travelling to Europe you'd expect people to do the most basic of research and it's hardly a major secret that guns are simply NOT a feature of daily life in Europe. Especially for tourists.

so i can be totally innocent and be locked

​​@@brunobastos5533if you give enough cause and reasons/trouble for them, yes Innocent or uninvolved people do not usually be so verbally demeaning, ignorant or so specificly selective in hearing abilities, as they're genuinely clueless on many points.

@@brunobastos5533 yes, because if there is enough evidence that you might be involved it's safer for everyone to lock you up while they investigate if you really are involved, than that you keep walking around possibly harming others or trying to escape. it's common sense to hold/lock up someone if they might be dangerous. and they only do that when they there is enough probable cause to hold you.

This is completely misinformed. To be put on an arrest hold they have to suspect your involvement. This isn't an arrest hold, it's securing the crime scene investigation. Much like if a bank robbery happens you can be held while they work out who's involved. This would happen also in the US. However, British Police do have more powers than in the US. Probably something to do with the suing culture in the US. They can be a bit more f around and find out here. This is not an example of Policing differences, just someone who has watched auditors and completely got it wrong. Also, being from Scotland myself. Scots police are a lit less tolerant to BS I've found more than English, at least London, anyway. You really have to know your rights here and the best advice I'd give to foreigners is just comply. They're less likely to suspect you and you will be on your way quicker than a local.

@@brunobastos5533 No. Key bit of info OP didn't mention was that police have to have reasonable suspicion that you have committed or are about to commit a crime in order to detain you in the first place.

Suspicion isn't a crime though. Also never NEVER follow unlawful orders! That's how we land in oppression (well that boat has sailed already though).

No you don't. Only comply with lawful orders.

​@endemion06463 what the police woman was saying is lawful in the UK. They're not in the USA. For UK police US constitutional rights means nothing. You're in the UK, you just respect UK laws.

The guy in this video found that out the hard way. He was held for 20 hours

​@Rachel_M_ good.

wtf . i live in paradise , where you do not get lock to check if you are guilty

That's why suspicion needs to be articulated. To prevent cops acting based upon feelings, like "I feel that guys acting suspicious" but he's not actually doing anything constitutes breaking a law or about to do so.

"Brief description"... only one of them have to match that for them BOTH to be detained. A criminal often does not work alone and neither do witnesses.

Additionally they were detained "As Witnesses". Yes, UK police can and do do this, if there's (for example in this scenario) an assault, and you are in the area, they will detain you so they can question you about it cause it's better to keep everyone in the area that might have seen it or been involved than possibly let something important slip away. Also worth noting, British version of Miranda rights states you have the "right to remain silent BUT, anything you don't say when questioned may reflect against you if later relied upon in court". You CAN keep your mouth shut, but its better to just get a lawyer and/or cooperate with any questions they have. Also also, if anyone is wondering, UK police body am footage is kept for 30 days minimum unless entered into evidence (therefore longer) and is subject to public access, they cannot refuse a request for it and it is even usually held by 3rd party oversight in raw form.

If the guy wasn't such an idiot he would know most American law is based on English law.

lol, pls tell me that your male colleague put on his "a-hole hat" when dealing with that clown. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a fan of the police at all as a long time ago the local cops kept harassing me for years, but that doesn't mean I didn't cooperate with their nonsense. Except for one night when on the way home from the pub a young cop, probably just 20 or sth like that came up to me, and i already knew the look on that face, was a bit drunk and really had had enough of constantly being stopped by these smurfs. So i just told him "don't even think about it" and kept walking, with him looking on in astonishment. That was the last time that any cop has ever approached me and that was about 20 years ago now. So you can see that they really were just doing it for funzies, or it wouldn't have stopped that suddenly. So i understand why some ppl are just fed up with the police, I wonder sometimes if the police realizes that by harassing ppl they also lose all respect from those ppl. And if sometimes they just do it in the hopes that their "target" will just snap and finally give them the right to actually go beyond the harassment. So yeah, maybe he was also one of the ppl who kept on getting bugged over and over because of the way he looks and finally had enough.

unfortunately there are too many people who are like this in the uk because they saw it on youtube, when its an active crime scene its not the same as a minor traffic offence but either way, talking to the officer nicely gets it over and done with quicker, ive been in a situation where me, and several bikers, were, after being in a club meet went to a local mcdonalds, thanks to 1 idiot, we all got pulled over but because of the fact there were 8 of us and only 2 officers they were nervous and jittery, took 10 minutes for another 3 cars to turn up to which their cheif in the 3rd car asked if any of us knew the idiot, we replied we all came from XXX's club meet, and every tuesday we left there and went to the mcdonalds, that idiot rode through our group ... just because we all went into a pub, playing metal music, and wore leathers, did it mean we were all metallers? To that they said sorry to have detained you and let us go (they did have a car sat on the roundabout exit near the mcdonalds, i dont know if it was to check our story or not)

Are you joking ? That guy is really a special case....

Besides he'd recorded them quite openly telling him their names. Was he expecting (hoping) they'd refuse?

He was trying to intimidate them.

Basic sovcit playbook apparently. We had one down in Co Cork who kept asking the name of the sergeant time after time and trying to tell him that he was a private security office, our police are apparently run both by London and the FBI and US laws are paramount around the entire world, trumping all local laws in the process (he was driving without insurance, with fake number plates and the vehicle wasn't registered to him. Turns out he was also known to the gardai for unspecified reasons but we could guess. The guards were as patient as the London coppers though he did get his car towed.
