Admittedly that couple are not standing up for themselves at all, but that policeman is such a wanker. Nothing better to do than prowl for pocket change for an organisation that barely pays him anything and already gets far too much tax money. Ridiculous.
@@johnnosiennek7066 Imagine them trying to weigh testimony from witnesses and assess complex forensic or financial information. Edit: I know who these people are. They're everyone who has ever filmed a TV license at the door. Only the terminally stupid allow things to escalate to where a goon is questioning them.
I hate and detest this era as it is shallow and wimps all around and is for kissing any person arse that presents themselves as an official. Glued to the tell Iie vision for instruction on how to go about things, what to believe, who to bow down to and no law for the life, and no spine, moral backbone, if anything aggression
He's a manipulator, trying to discourage them from talking with AB by making them think they'll be punished for listening to him. What a dodgy bastard.
AB. I’m ex police and I’m disgusted how bad things have got. You are doing a fantastic job. The merging of private corporations and government is very dangerous. I love your content.
To be fair, I would have left this guy to pay the fine. He was made aware of the rule and still refused to pick up his litter. You cant help someone who wont help themselves AB!
- If the advice was coming from a - man in a suit - or a lawyer - or a policeman,... who pulled up tat PIECE OF CRAP of a jobs-worth,... and told him he would be liable for >>> OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENC3S
@Yggdrasil - NO,... most people are not deliberate in creating litter,... thats why we have Council Tax and street cleaners & lavatory attendants,... this is draconian - and a deceptive - thief... he just FRAUDULENTLY stole money from this couple by LYING via OMMISSION,... a deliberate act of - Obtaining monies under FALSE pretenses. (he did NOT offer a 'remedy' nor 'equity' - he created a fraud)
I have zero problem with people getting fined for littering. If the officer wasn't there they wouldn't have picked it up so I will lose no sleep over the fine they got.
The Byelaw was changed to include leaving it, because these thugs were issuing tickets to people who accidently dropped items. They are meant ask people to pick up the item, first!
@Brightstarlivesteam - Exactly! If they don't ask you to pick up the litter or do not give you the chance to pick up the litter, anything they do thereafter is unlawful. Claiming they do not have to give you an opportunity to pick up the litter before issuing a ticket is Fraud by False Misrepresentation, as it is misrepresentation of a matter of law, which is an offence in itself.
People need to learn the rules and laws or acts ive read the ones i need to know about but they need to teach this in school so they learn the laws and acts on them so u know where u stand
Because pathetic human robots that sit in front of the tell lie vision, think it is cool and trendy to be ignorant of any morals and ethics, just live to themselves. They deserve what they get
Sadly these people are the types who act like they don't care but the moment someone with a silly uniform comes along they act like naughty school children and too scared to stand up for themselves.
3:40 That litter on the ground is proof that the litter fines aren't there to actually stop litter from happening, just to collect money. Usually for a company that does it on behalf of a council. If the council was actually concerned about litter, they'd employ someone to sweep the streets, but they don't because they make more money from fines.
It's easy to criticise these people that accepted the fine. But lots of people don't have the confidence to challenge bullies like this, especially if they don't know their rights.
True. It's probably the first time it's happened to them. These people (including police ) rely heavily on people being wrongfooted. I mean she's happy, just shopped at Primark when this jobsworth corrals them. Sad days.🙄🇬🇧
@@jamessmith99731 cigarette butts are actually used by birds as the nicotine kills parasites in their nest and protect their young , do your part for the environment and drop your cigarettes butts .
To be fair they probably deserved the fine. I don’t think I’ve ever seen someone pick up their cigarette after stamping it out, it’s disgusting and it is littering.
I think this has angered me more than any auditing video I’ve watched, blows my mind how people hang on every line of someone trying to take their money yet ignore someone who is trying to save them money. It’s madness
did he care to check if the people had already been issued a warning? law says they have to be given a warning prior before a fixed penalty notice be given!
Infuriating to watch. I pity them for being so compliant like naughty little school children caught by the headmaster. Sad. At least you tried AB but people like this are the reason these goons exist.
To be fair to the couple, I doubt if I would take advice from a complete stranger with a camera telling me what to do. Especially as I am not sure on the law ( in this case )
What's truly disgusting about this is that bins and cleaning services have been cut or removed the streets are dirty and our council tax is paying for licensed theivery. And 'law' enforcement is being corporatised and privatised along with our public spaces. Dangerous times imo.
Some people don’t know the law, and are even afraid to correct their mistakes if they are told the law, because of the fear some have of the law. It’s sickening to watch them, not follow their rights, and let these snail shits get away with breaking the law.
I can't stand people littering... they deserve fines... however, the law clearly states the litter has to be abandoned and they must be warned prior to a fine. None of these officers ask anyone to pick up the litter... and go straight into the fine. Very much bullying.
Yep, not a lot of sympathy, the smokers have probably thrown thousands of butts on the ground over the years. Only picking one up if they get caught means they will keep doing it. If they are thick enough to do it, then I see no reason to educate them about how to avoid the fine. Maybe change the law so you can avoid a fine if you pick up 50 butts while they watch you.
@@SnowBase It is low IQ shit hole thinking, "I pay taxes therefore I am entitled to litter and live in a shit hole with petty tyrants chasing me around the streets harassing me" Do not litter and you put a tyrant out of a job.
hi guys and gals , here is the law : if you drop any litter and you are questioned about it PICK IT UP the offence of littering is not commited as clearly stated in the law , the offence is to knowingly TO LEAVE IT ....i have found my self in this very situation and i took the case to court , ALL THE WAY and i WON THE CASE LEAVING THE LITTER MONITORING COMPANY WITH A HUGE BILL OF OVER AT LEAST OVER £ 50.000. AB is totally correct in what he is saying in fact there have been numberous cases thrown out by courts because litter monitoring companies have ABUSED THE LAW
People are so utterly sheeplike, they cower in fear if a uniform approaches them, they don't want to seem like they are doing the wrong thing! Pathetic rules for pathetic people.
You can't blame them. Some people have been under the thumb for so long they don't know they can fight against it. Also, people that have had bad experiences trying to appeal fines and things only to cost them more will act like this. I think it is pathetic of someone to judge them the way you are without knowing much about the people they are judging.
He selects an easy target, couple of OAP's who probably think he is a police officer, as opposed to a glorified security guard. Shame on Birmingham !!!
The government know most people behave this way by not challenging so call guidelines, rules etc, hence this Covid-19 shite, they know they won't protest n just accept it. People like this are beyond changing.
These people want to be fined are they criminally insane or just insane? The officer is an absolute jobsworth when real crime is taking place. Well done AB on telling them their rights but they are brain dead 🙄 wanting to be fined. Bizarre but AB you kept your head when all around you are losing theirs. 😆 🤣 😂
As painful as this might be, you could consider to have this legislation and others printed off at hand to show them, as you seem to come across the same issues again and again. Just a thought 🤷🏽♂️ Would be good viewing to see them deny the law then.
They have no legal powers to detain or take detains from the public. You can simply walk away. By fining you They are coercing you into an out of court settlement with a private company, which is unlawful.
Poor folk. Conditioned by the "assumed authority" of some bozo in a uniform. A concerned citizen, couldn't possibly know the law and legalities more than the dope in the uniform, right? 😆
If those jackboots dishing out fines are so bothered about littering, why isn't he picking up all those cig ends on the floor surrounding him? Laughable..
Would it not be a better use of public funds to get the numpty in the uniform to pick up rubbish rather than issue fines? then nobody would feel compelled to slap him (God forbid such a thing should happen!)
People who litter should be fined!!!!, the whole country would be covered in cig butts as your footage shows if everyone were like this couple, think about it
(2:52) The stupidity level of the guy got higher and higher every time he opened his mouth. "You are not gonna record me taking his details, that's an offence". SMH
I could Lol, can't se me lasting long or earning much if its commission based. I didn't last long as a covid marshall when they found out I was mask exempt lol
He should have just picked it up, even if he was too afraid to not give his details over. He then could have used this video as evidence against that fine.
@@MrStevejeffcott if these people were interested in a clean city centre why wouldn’t encourage people to put their rubbish into bins. Il tell you why because they’re on commission. Cleanliness is the last thing on their minds they want you to litter
i would find where they're patrolling, and get a small packet of paper tied to some fishing gut and drop it accidentally from your pocket, then wait a few seconds and see if they approach you . When they get close walk off trailng the paper behind you like a dog on a leash.
As much as I appreciate your standing up to the abuse of the law and trying to help these people, it IS pretty disgusting that they just think they can throw their cigarette butts on the floor just like that. So... mixed emotions with this one...
It's so simple to avoid having to deal with these plonkers, isn't it? That people are so, 'scared of getting into trouble', that they'll happily pay up for something they could remedy in a second, is how these shyster, 'litter police', manage to con money out of those gullible enough to go along with it. And sure enough, these 2 seem to be the gullible type who just go along with whatever they're being told to do by this authoritarian pettifogger. The audacity of this trumped-up council worker telling AB to, 'shut up.' Thinking he's got authority over him. What a despicable little oink he is, just because AB was getting in the way of him conning money out of these people.
