HUMBERSIDE POLICE FAIL WITH PRESS PHOTOGRAPHER 

Members of the public and the media do not need a permit to film or photograph in public places and police have no power to stop them filming or photographing incidents or police personnel.

Enforcing a law she cant explain ..Wow !!

The blonde cop looks stoned.

Why are the police so damn scruffy?

I remember when a police officer looked smart,it just doesn’t happen these days a great deal. Not withstanding a dreadful attitude.

What an utter shambles, how you kept control was exemplary.. Who do the police work for, I'm not sure now..

I appreciate that each day in 'Policing' will throw up different challenges, and that they are not able to know all the laws (Mainly because we have so bloody many) but blanket "Breach of the Peace" just because some tosspot from a production company ain't happy is bang out of order. This is a classic example of why people are losing faith, and any remaining bit of respect they have for Cops, because they pick shi* out of thin air if they haven't a clue! Like a number of people have commented, these two look as if they really don't care, and have a look of utter contempt on their faces when interacting with the public. Shaggy perm looks 'unkempt' and the other one looks like Matt Lucas in costume for a Little Britain sketch.

A breach of the peace is defined as “an act done or threatened to be done which either actually harms a person, or in his presence, his property, or is likely to cause such harm being done.

This photographer had as much right to do his job as the film crew did, The police where just being arse holes as usual

i live in a city in North America that has tons of movies and tv series filmed in it. I run into them all the time, and they act and behave like they are actually doing something important.

Take your complaint as far as you possibly can, just on general principle.

The production crew don't want you to interfere with their job yet they are quite happy to interfere with your job. The police support the stance of the production crew and are just as ignorant of the law. The only people with the true grasp of the law in this video are the photographers. Unfortunately this is typical.

This is in bridlington when they were filming dads army,police aren’t the brightest in bridlington

I believe a situation like this occurred during " father brown" ...a delivery lorry turned up mid filming ....they had to allow the delivery

Another film showing that the police force is not there working as a complete impartial service protecting the rights of the public. I find it amusing that if a farmer closes off a public footpath across one of his fields the police "can't do anything" but if a film company closes of a footpath in the middle of a busy tow the police turn up to protect the rights, in their own minds, of the film company.

The police woman looks a scruff, she needs a hair cut and a wash

You'd have thought the producers would be glad of all the positive press coverage they could get. Instead they risked creating a hostile press.

you know what - all credit to the police - they were called to an alleged offence, took both sides of the story, got advice and basically backed off - was anyone arrested ? all cop haters bring it on .......

Did you see the way the blond cop got his info there never give you info

Strange fact... When they were filming a scean for the late john thaw film about his life with a child during the war..a resident discovered a gas leak in their house, the crew were polite and helpful they even made sure the family had food while the gas man did his job. No one moaned no one thru their toys out of the pram

And note how that girl in costume would not make eye contact as though she is better than you?

when i see film company's filming i start work if they dont like my noise. pay me a days pay and il go home, it works for me without fail

3:25 There's no law saying that you can't photograph whilst they're filming as long as you're not trespassing. As far as I'm concerned you are on a public footpath which is public property and therefore well within your rights to take photographs whether or not the filming was taking place on the road (which is private property as they have arranged a road closure). 4:50 Agreed!

Did she really quote Section 1 of the Town Police Clauses Act? That's an Act passed in 1847 :-)

This nonsense about statutes not being law is absurd. Who advises these folk insisting only common law is valid law. Presumably they don't enjoy the benefits of the Human Rights Act because it is statute. Very peculiar logic.

Photographer: job. Film maker: job. Question: What's the difference? Answer: Nothing.

The worzelgummage lookalike on the left looks like she is going equipped to burgal

At least they sent real coppers just yhink of the fun you could have had if they'd sent PCSO'S ohhhh I shudder to think!

I’d bet the ‘inspectors’ got a private audience with the actors as well as the obligatory selfies!

Every time I see this vid I punch my screen,,, several times ,,, Why are the police working for a company ??? IE the people who closed the road down? Laymans terms ,, The road has been closed down so a film company can make a film,, This film company has the power to close down public right of ways ? And has the power to have the police make sure no person walks down that public right of way. THAT IS CORUPTION in action

This was a right pain when they wer filming they took loads of room ordering people around they didn't care where people lived. Public land and the council been paid and getting the police to help them

For a "professional" photographer, you should know to hold your camera horizontally when shooting video, surely???

I hope that female officer muffled her bunch of keys when she walked away.

That other women has more chins than a Hong Kong telephone book

Arrested under the road traffic act ? for walking down the street ? hahahahahahahahahaha Are those real coppers or just part of the film set ?

That woman cop is a complete mess. She needs to comb or cut her hair for a start.

The problem is with modern society and our modern police force. Your only right if you have the money to be right.

British police are always so scruffy! Get their uniforms from Costco?

ASK is a request, that CAN be refused.without breaking any law's.

Surely it's not a copper's job to ensure that a business is given precedence over the rights of a citizen: unless, of course, the citizen causes a Breach of the Peace?

Oh tell that sea gull to shut it.

Those WPCs look so unprofessional in attitude and appearance

"We are professional." Then get most of video of police torches, keys and radio.

Do the Police actually know the definition of breach of the peace? Seems its No.1 on the naughty list

the audio is amazin, what did you record with?

She sums up the state of the police force. The whole country for that matter. She is tired, fed up, underpaid, underesucated. The government that produced her should be ashamed!

Here in Portugal this kind of work by the police like closing part of a road to do removals like I do for living, or because of construction sites or even a movie, the procedure is : You have to ask the council authorization days before if it's possible then they talk to the police to go there at the site but the company have to pay to the one or two policeman's, that money goes 45% to the policeman's who was there and 55% goes to the unit or police department. They also do security services on supermarkets and shopping-centers, they do this job's when they are off duty and call it "gratified", they have just the same attitude like this two in this circumstances, it is wrong. They charge 50€ each for 4 hours.

The police are obliging the complainants call .

Town Police Clauses Act 1847? Cop needs to go back to skool

As soon as I hear the 'an act is not valid' bull shit I lose interest. Get this straight, we are governed by consent, the 'we' part does not apply to individuals it applies as a whole to the population. We gave our consent to be governed as a nation by parliament's legislation when we vote, participate in society as we do on a day to basis.

"An Act is only valid if you agree with it". What a wally, I don't agree with the Income Tax Act but I've still got to pay my taxes!

Please do not be too hard on her. Persuading the police to think or to scrape their meagre disarranged brain cells from the nearest public lavatory wall is a cruel and demanding task.

Standing up for your right is not harassment

No law what so ever can prevent you walking along a public street as long as you are not breech any other law when doing so

this so called bill of rights from 1689,has to do with freedom from royal interference concerning parliamentary process.the only item I saw was the right to possess arms as a protestant according to class.but nothing on individual rights.

Retired BBC news cameraman here, so I know the rules better than most plods. The UK police cannot stop anyone filming in public: www.theiac.org.uk/resourcesnew/filming-in-public/ACPO_Guidance_PhotographsPublicPlaces.pdf?hc_location=ufi (If you're a keen photographer/filmer, it's a good idea to print this and carry it with you.) Also, police can't use the Terrorism Act to stop you filming, unless they ALREADY have "REASONABLE" grounds that your activities aid terrorism. Just filming in itself is NOT "reasonable" grounds. Here's the Home Office guidance for police on photography: www.gov.uk/government/publications/photography-and-counter-terrorism-legislation

catherine zeta jones didn't want any unauthorised images of her

1:50 Nonsense, the courts have held that an Act of Parliament is a law and is valid even if not agreed to unless the act says otherwise!

they shouldn't do scenes in public streets if they don't like people filming always something with overpaid people

Yay it's Dads Army filming in Bridlington old town

I thought the main WPC behaved very professionally from what I could see. She was helpful, composed and reasonable.

You can’t expect too much of the police and that applies in spades in Humberside. I have encountered film crews on the embankment in London who seem to think they can cordon whole sections off and stop you walking to your place of work. So I was sympathetic to your position and your point about the police not working for a private company but you lose credibility when you start spouting that freeman on the land bollocks about statutes not being law..

They work for the Queen watches her property and follows her faith law.

why 4 out of 5 uk police ladies got excessive weight?

Many years ago a film company was making a children's TV programme a guy up the street starting to mow his lawn and the film company paid him £50 to do it later that was about 20years ago

one more thing, why would you want to disrupt what is obviously a period drama being filmed? A film crew and performers just trying to do their job? what is it you have against that? most reasonable people would just take it in their stride and accept the fact that a local street might be closed for a few hours, but not you it would seem.

Britain doesn't have a bill of rights. even we have to fight for ours.

How embarrassing.

I think fat Andy needs to leave the pies alone.

Clueless public servants in costume failing as usual.

I think the advert on the blue glass door applies to that 2nd policewoman, she looks like she's had a late night or two !!!

are them copper men in drag?

It's funny how when I as a press photographer don't get threatened with arrest. Oh yeah I take my photos and leave the scene with out disrupting others.

Why can’t you do as you’re asked she said. Because I have rights, feel free to break them tho

It all goes wrong when you claim an Act of Parliament isn't law. Nonsense. Parliament makes the law, which is upheld by the Judiciary.

the police looked just as miserable as that drama probably turned out. . .

Er'm I'm not cop hater however here is a prime example yet again of the police not knowing the law and how to deal with people. They are poorly trained, and to be honest I have witnessed on many occasions bad policing all over the country. Over the years the standard of policing has without doubt got worse!

Mingers in uniform

UK police have the worst officer saftey.

This argument holds no weight. You, the photographer, only has a job because of the film crew! The crew no doubt spent months getting permits to shoot on the street, what have you done? You are just mooching off all their work and then moaning about it. And the film crew will have paid the local council for this location and part of that deal is a police escort. Its called community service.

The day after a night on the pole.

So now the police do private security for film companies unbelievable

They are recording the dads army movie.

Before I go any further,, Let me get this str8, The people who are doing the filming have paid the police to stop people walking/driving down a section of public space so they can shoot their film ? Surely the police are breaking the law by taking payments from the people who wanted the road/street closed off and are also breaking the law by preventing the public from walking down that street > which is public, paid for by the public

Proper policing with no raised voices and what seems like a genuine discussion. Top job by all!

at 13.55 minutes when someone said shssss thats when i would have let the loudest fart ever just to let them know we dont all agree with them filming

They look dosed up on Prozac

Got 0 respect for the 'that's an act not a law arguement'. How do Parliament pass new laws?... Also mad respect to that cop for actually knowing the act in question. I do agree that it is bullshit corruption that a public body like the council are able to give public rights of way to a private organisation.

coppers do not know the law

Humberside Police really need to instruct their officers to pay more attention to the standard of their appearance. Officers who appear to have just got out of bed with their clothing like it has not been in close contact with an iron for weeks looks bad. A belt is supposed to keep ones pants up not hang round their hips with so much equipment hanging on it rendering the officer incapable of running if need be.

I know it says Humberside, But where in Humberside ?

Tell that copper to get a hair cut....scruffy so and so

this is how films are made. they have paid to close the road and got all permissions. what gives you the right to interfere with a film crew working. if someone stops you working all the time you would be annoyed...you are also talking whilst they are filming. what is your "job" ? if you are a pro you need to hold your camera in landscape format for vudro.

What are they filming

It all depends on who you know, the law is irrelevant.

If you were press you would know to film in landscape not portrait, that alone deserves arrest !

Her breath broke my phone screen:(

2 stunned fish

Typical of Humberside gestapo.

This is old town in Bridlington
