Christian street preacher wins compensation from Police Scotland 

Five officers can attend a non crime but if you report a real crime they don't want to know, this is why they only solve 5% of real crimes.

The police force in this country is full of absolute fools as we see on the daily.

Absolutely shocking hearing that police officer state he was arrested and a hate crime filed against him because someone was offended. Future does not look good for the everyday man in Scotland

What a waste of taxpayers money. The police wouldn't take these ridiculous actions if the money came out of there own pockets.

The police forgot to admit that they acted like fools

Exactly the same thing happened in Uxbridge, pretending there was a complaint against a preacher, 5 police officers harrrising the preacher , the police should be ashamed

What is so unsettling is the ease and even eagerness that these officers show in using such Orwellian language and in criminalising Christians.

The fact that he believes in an invisible man in the sky and then tries to get others to also believe shows he’s nuts, but that’s not a crime.😂😂

Sickening what is happening. It's clear the female officer had already made her mind up and no reasonable explanation was ever going to be enough for her.

GOOD STUFF ANGUS

When he questions her she just talks bullshit , I’ll go a double check, utter bullshit, a non crime hate incident, they make this up as they go along, they are an embarrassment!!!

No wonder Scotland is in such a mess - it’s time to let rUK decide if we want to keep them and not the other way around

I support the call to ban religion.

Its still going down on record. But its not crime its not going through the court. Unbelievable

This is appalling, what happened to innocent until proven guilty?! He already told them he was reading directly from the scriptures. Well done to this hero and all those who supported him. 👏👏👏👏

Poor chap being arrested like this. Absolute disgraceful.

I hope she gets a disciplinary for bigoted behavior on her books.

It's not a crime to cause offence. You choose to take offence

These people have no business being police.

The Gestapo in action!

Country is doomed. She didn't even sound sure of the actions she had taken. Shocking policing. Extremely worrisome.

He's right: how can they convict him without citing any evidence?

Good for you in taking the ‘Police’ to court. Well done and congratulations.

What a waste of time,sick o this nanny state we're living in,disgraceful

Must have been extremely dangerous having 5 police officers to arrest him

The law should be changed so that compensation for police misconduct comes out of their pension fund, not from taxpayers.

For real justice the compensation should be taken out of the policewoman's pay, not the taxpayers.

Yeah but they got him off the street and made an example of him - two tier policing at its finest. God bless you sir.

”A non-crime hate incident has been recorded”, how can you be arrested for a non-crime? This is insanity.

Many Glaswegians would be delighted to see so many Police officers turn up after their homes had been burgled; their cars vandalised; or they had been assaulted. Priorities?

Completely disgraceful.

Mrs H 🇬🇧 ... What an insulting disgraceful thing to do... I'm offended by his arrest.....😡

God bless you Angus. I remember an innocent Man that was arrested, mocked , humiliated then crucified to death all for his speech. Hold on to your faith my friend. It's going to get worse. Love to you from🇺🇸

ALL the cops involved should be charged with unlawful arrest! .

Absolutely insane, breaks my heart what's happening to this country. If it's a 'non crime', why are the police even involved?

Compensation and costs should be met by Chief Constable not taxpayers.

A few years ago in Birmingham 2 Christian Street preachers were stopped by police and told "You are about to enter an area of Birmingham populated by migrants of a different Religion,if you enter the area we will arrset you" (But we are continually being told by Police & Government that there are not any NO GO AREAS in this country),meanwhile just 2 miles away in Birmingham City Centre on New Street, the cities busiest road near the Bull Ring shopping centre and New Street Railway station Muslims had set up a stall promoting Islam and were hassling shoppers and commuters but where were the police?,conspicuos by their absence of course,probably under unders to keep well away and sat in Steelhouse Lane Police Station supping tea and devouring Bacon Sandwiches.

Police will gladly pay £5500 of taxpayer's money to knobble their political opponents, this isn't a deterrent. The offending officers quite simply need to lose their job and ideally face prosecution for what should be a criminal abuse of police powers, not pay their way out of this with someone else's money.

I'm not a Christian, but I'm glad this man won his case. We must protect free speech.

A few thousand pounds for a blatantly wrongful arrest seems pretty ridiculous

That should never have happened in this country. Absolutely disgusting state of affairs.

She cocked it up and doesn't want to own up!

What? Someone being offended is enough for a crime to have taken place? This is absolutely insane!

Good to hear Angus won his compensation. He should never have been subjected to this awful ordeal. All the best for the future Angus. from Scotland.

Absolutely disgusting that this should be happening

The fact they can ADD and / or REMOVE these 'crime-non-crime-hate-incidents' from your record is terrifying. Only a JUDGE and JURY should be allowed to do that, either way. Disgraceful. That copper should be fired, we need to find out who she is and report her for crime-non-crime hate incidents given there doesn't need to be evidence.

I am not religious, nor am I a big fan of street preaching. I do, however, applaud this particular Christian for standing up to tyranny, which ultimately benefits all citizens in Scotland 👏👏.

Cop says: Guilty until proven innocent. Law says: Innocent until proven guilty. 😮

Good on Angus. This police woman is obviously either incompetent, or vexatious in this arrest. I was a police officer for 42 years both in London and Australia, and my training in both is that the total allegation is carried, including witness statements BEFORE speaking to the alleged offender. If the allegation is true pre investigation will prove this. I am only sorry that that meagre little compensation was not much more, and the arresting officer was not also made to pay. She is a disgrace.

It's not only in Scotland. It's happening all around the world.😡

Well done to the Christian institute. The police recording non-crime hate incidents is the sort of behaviour one would expect in the former East Germany, rather than modern Britain.

I'm a lifelong atheist, but totally defend the right of this man to express his religious beliefs in public, even if some find those hateful or offensive. (short of credible incitement to violence) The police have been told to stop recording "non-crime hate incidents" but continue to do so. This has to stop. And the idiotic laws which grant police sweeping powers need to be revoked or amended.

“Non-Crime Hate Incident” are the four scariest words I’ve ever heard from the side of Justice and Law Enforcement

That is truly unbelievable. The police are a total embarrassment in situations like this. 5 officers to arrest someone who’s clearly not violent or looking to escape.

He has been accused of something he hasn't done,disgraceful.

I was born in Scotland 65 years ago if this cop ever thought of arresting a preacher back in my younger days for preaching the gospel she would have been put in jail and fined, I'm happy to see Angus on the winning end god bless you sir. Canada is watching

The only thing missing was a public apology ! 👍

I bet they wouldn’t arrest a Muslim

All strength to this man for just sharing his Faith

Proper order. Well done. Prejudiced policing should not be tolerated.

Funny they can't get anyone around when your house is robbed or car stolen. This is why the police in this country have lost credibility.😡

Great work by the Christian Institute, so happy to see people fighting back against this madness. As an aside, the lack of clarity and total confusion from the wpc was epic!

Well done, God bless the Christian Institute and Angus

As a Hindu I support his right to be heard and his right to read out the words from his bible verses 🙏🏽

I'm not a Christian, but this is beyond the pale. Good to see that justice prevailed, although it wouldn't have if the institutions meant to uphold justice would have their way. Keep on fighting the good fight!

The law actually states that quoting the Bible CANNOT be made into a crime.

The crime of reading aloud the Bible ! Jesus said They hated me before they hated you ! God Bless and keep you Angus ♥️🙏🏼

Indeed! "You will be hated by everyone because of my name." Stand firm brothers and sisters. Stand STILL and endure to the end. Fantastic work by both Angus and the Christian Institute.

I am not a religious person but well done to you all!!!!! Tyranny needs to stop!!!!

Insane! Treating an accusation as though it's solid proof. No good.

How UK Muslims must be laughing that Christianity is persecuted in so called Christian country.

Well done we need more action taken against incidents like this

Outrageous treatment of a preacher by police. I am so glad that you won your case.

Well done to this man and all who helped him clear his name. I’m shocked to have to say I’m not shocked, at what’s happening in our once Great Britain today.

That was the most egregious double speak/half speak I have ever heard from that officer to a simple question, "have I been charged?"!

I am that shocked by the police they don't know what they are doing to the community they live in what a mess

This is outrageous. Anyone can say that you did anything related to homophobia and hate, and you are recorded for all times as having done that. And they refuse to question any other witnesses or investigate at all. just wait till all the ex-wives and ex-husbands and disgruntled employees or restaurant patrons who didn’t get to skip the line realize the arsenal they can use against all perceived injustice

And the police constantly wonder why public confidence in them is at an all time low

Well done and thank you to the Christian Institute. Well done to the street preacher for standing his ground. And thanks be to God.

We have lost Scotland, a once brave and proud nation. But on the plus side, we've gained Angus, a man that stands for his beliefs and conviction and shall not be bullied around by police officers that are not hindered by any common sense or abide by free speech laws.

Tax payers get stuck with paying settlements for crooked cops' actions - cops don't learn lesson - cops keep screwing up. Reprimand the officers, teach them how to do their jobs.

If they were offended by his comments they're really not going to like mine after seeing their abuse of power

They don't want it to go to court, because they know they wouldn't have a leg to stand on legally. So they have developed an intermediate step between legal and illegal, that costs almost nothing, has no accountability, no proof or disproof, no guilt or innocence, but counts against an individual if they were seeking employment or working in sensitive areas. This is a chilling prospect, and will go beyond religious texts and reach into any opinion deemed unfashionable by law enforcement and politicians.

Something very important is missing. Why was the complainant not identified? Cameron should be able to sue him for defamation. If these actions are not punished, they will continue to occur.

God Bless this man for standing for Jesus Christ.❤️

Police Scotland claim to have deleted the "hate incident" against Mr Cameron's name. I was of the understanding that a "hate incident" can stand indefinitely. Can they be trusted? Good work CI. Good on Angus for standing his ground.

And such a shame that these things are settled out of court - that just means they'll do the same again whenever they want. They need to be brought to court and a precedent set which defends the right of people to speak freely on the streets again.

Good will always defeat evil. So happy for Angus. Keep up the good work my brother. We need more people like you spreading the Lords word ❤️🙏.

How are these officers still on the force? This is beyond belief.

I have no religious affiliation whatsoever, but I am appalled by what happened to this gentleman. Kudos to him for not letting this lie.

It’s a bit scary that you can have a charge recorded against your name purely on the strength of an allegation, that could have been completely false and purely malicious.

Well done my brother. Thank god you had the Christian institute behind your back. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Keep preaching the gospel brother. I'm with you all the way. Ridiculous that you even got arrested

I may be an atheist, but I fully support his right to preach his well established religious views and applaud his success.

Fair play to Angus for taking them on Good example for the rest of us and a reminder to always record police encounters.

No charges pending, but he's considered guilty of a hate incident without a trial? That's outrageous.

There was a time when we would condemn equivalent levels of tyranny abroad. However, it is now in our very midst.

As I understand it under Humza’s hate crime bill in Scotland only the offended persons word is required to record a hate incident, there is no investigation. You have to take the police to court at a cost of £10’s thousands to clear your name. This preacher was lucky he had someone to help with his actions against the unlawful arrest and subsequent NON crime hate incident record. The law needs to be repealed or removed.

This is such a terrible thing, I cannot believe how dystopian this truly is! I am a relocated UK person and it breaks my heart how the countries have fallen.

Lots of people get offended. Lots of people today whine and get offended. The police acted without a shred of evidence.
