When I was in the army for 16 years every military base had a “No Photography” sign every 5 meters along the perimeter fence line. In my last year we were told to remove them all because they were illegal. I believe a court case that went to the Lords decided that.
@@whyIsItSoLoud .. That is what we were told as we took them down. If the signs are put up under the colour of law or perceived authority then they are illegal. I cannot remember the exact wording but they did say something to the effect of “Photography was illegal”
in Victoria Australia there is legislation prohibiting filming/photographing military installations...... it carries a penalty of a whole 100bucks lot that will deter whoever what ever threat they think is going to camerra them actually the biggest penalty as such is your cameraing equipment will be confiscated, ive seen a video on RU-vid of a guy filming an airbase but it was in another state not sure which one or of its laws but he was showing auditors how its done in Australia instead of being harrased they put up a seats so you can watch the planes take off and land mind you he didn't film the entrance which generally where the allegedly security concerns are raised
The thin blue line guy summed up the attitude of the police perfectly, you know what your doing, your here to wind us up,it would never occur to them that your there,to be approached and spoken to in a civil and respectful manner,by people who know and apply the law and nothing else!!
@@geoffbreen2386 You're lucky to have lived a sheltered life if that is your take on a "horrible attitude". The thin blue line patch represents a charity for mental health and also to show support for police who have died in the line of duty. From what I can gather they are allowed to be worn by all officers with the exception of sussex police. With what the badge stands for, can you not see why he might not offer someone a hug when you start telling him he cant wear it and pull out the old "I pay for your uniform" lines (newsflash police also pay tax). He did however remain professional and even made sure his collar number could be recorded, and provided his name in case they wanted to make a complaint. Yes, as with any group of society, police with horrible attitudes do exist, which I'm not disputing, and exposing them such as Auditing Britain does is a genuine service to us all... However in my opinion the civilian police acted with nothing but professionalism and curtasy in this instance. Save your hate for the minority that ARE dragging the rest of them down, implying that all police display a horrible attitude to the public is ignorant and prejudiced, and makes it harder for the ones who are professional to do their jobs.
The country I grew up in built homes for heroes. The NHS opened and the service was excellent, there were no queues. Our local GP came to deliver babies in the middle of the night in all weathers. Babies were breast fed and healthier for it. All our elders died at home with their families. Education was top priority. I could weep at what we've become.
@@custard71 , you've made my day. Again, thank you for the kind wishes, and I agree with you. AB is definitely one of the good guys. and I think that he is absolutely hilarious. Sending my very best wishes! X
@Tai Chi Tube yes, however forming a "royal house" in germany of commoners when the ernestine duchies was created/split into the "royal houses" does not qualify
As I have always said about the MOD, if they have something they don't want people to view, then keep it out of sight. It isn't the responsibility of the general public to look away every time they walk past. If you worked in the HR office on this base, they wouldn't take personal files of staff down to the pub open them up and view peoples details, then expect everyone passing to close their eyes and put their devices away, shouting that they are private. You would keep them locked away in a cabinet and only get them out when needed. The same principle with the base.
I actually like that on a lot of videos there are several cars that show up. It's like they gather for a university lecture to get educated together on the law rather than having to do it one by one each video 😆
This was the first video I ever watched of yours AB, it’s amazing how much you and other auditors, but especially I think you have improved the acceptance of public photography!
Not like it’s a mission to make public photography acceptable it’s just a cheap way of getting a few RU-vid views let’s be realistic. Don’t get me wrong they are mildly entertaining but let’s not kid ourselves
The great irony is when they keep asking what's story? Again and again, meanwhile they are the story. They are the matters of public interest. Maybe one day they will get left alone and get to do a story about wild life and the plane. The story could dissappear real quick but it always hangs around.
Yo AB, I believe I have watched all of your videos! started with the one the two fools entered your home with NO court warrant, and I have to admit I have learned so much to the point that no police officer can fool me! Keep up the good work mate.👍👍👍🤜
When did displaying aircraft near the fence line to entrap and harass members of the public who stop to take a picture become the normal policy for the military..?
@@thefourthlivingcreature6968 semantics, the police very much are public servants. The military should in no way be attempting to question or detain a member of the public. They're idiots.
Excellent integration of multiple units presented here. Royal Military Police, civilian Police, Mod Police, K9 police dogs, RAF regiment plus others This film displays an extremely detailed exhibition of good practice by this Training Exercise Well done our K9 service personnel
Common courtesy generally does not include submitting your details for inclusion in a list of disobedient subjects. Amazing that the people who want to jam you up in a surveillance program by putting your name on a list of dissidents will call "courtesy" as a justification for gathering your details.
The officer was acting extremely evasive and suspicious, when asked about their home address. That is a telltale sign they obviously have something to hide at their residence.
@@jayr6666 What's wrong with views? Views are what spread awareness. AB uses bait to uncover incompetent police and government malfeasance. He puts himself out as bait, which is a considerable sacrifice on his part, to goad police into acting outside the law to enforce their personal preferences. He puts himself at greater risk to expose corruption and incompetence than any police officers risk themselves to uncover child molesters or thieves or even terrorists. Here in the states, law enforcement jobs rank as the 22nd most dangerous profession to be in, right behind everyone else's profession, in a country with 120 guns in private hands for every 100 people. Those cops in the UK are at less risk even than the US LEO'S. So yeah, AB puts himself at risk to do what he does, and you should appreciate it by realizing that his sacrifice is ensuring your liberty.
Just think how The Government would react if an auditor gave his name each of the over 100 times it was "requested"? The question that would be asked among themselves is not "How do we preserve this person's rights?" it would be "How do we stop this person and suspend his rights?"
exactly, constant misuse of (i think it's) section 50 resulted in it's repeal, using the terrorist act (section 43) will have that repealed as well, not to mention OUR rights are the same as THEIR rights, they are taking away their own rights.
I love watching military personnel interacting off their base with civilians. They presume an authority that they do not have *by law* ! They are so far out of their depth.
@@engineeringvision9507 To them the public are all potential terrorists. Also, if the public were aware of just how little the military contributes to the public good, there would be a very large backlash.
@Tai Chi Tube It's a culture problem. Their culture forgets what their purpose is and the limits they have placed on them by the society they serve. It's similar to the police culture. They are there to protect the country *and* the people, *NOT* themselves. The military is one of the largest landholders in the country, mostly prime real estate.
@@tomjones8715 Maybe you should have commented IN ALL CAPS! The yobos that were in this video obviously didn't listen to the "training. The ones that stood silent were just as stupid and guilty as the loudmouth. As are you. Remember that saying "One bad apple spoils the bunch"? In an organization like the military, one represents all. There aren't supposed to be "bad apples" that last long enough to "spoil the bunch". His superior officer should be aware of the risks when dealing *off base* and *dealing with the public* . I wonder when that "training" was reinforced? From this example, never. Last, those silent soldiers are *learning* from the "bad apples". Any organization that gets paid from the public purse and relies on the good will of the public for moral support, must keep that in its collective mind. I don't hate the military. My son served in Iraq. I have nothing but respect for him. I hate war. I hate the idea that we *even need* armed forces of any kind. I respect their service to their country, but I do not respect *that* soldier because he obviously does not respect me.
In my humble opinion the woman in green gave the instructions:- Do not tell him anything Just watch her arrival f rame by frame and tell me what you think, please?
I really have learnt so much from watching you’re videos. From being wrongly arrested and abused by the police in the past I feel like every member of the public should watch and learn from you. You should be knighted sir ⚔️
I agree. I’ve never really trusted the police and these videos have confirmed my fears. As well have educated me on my rights and just how little the police actually do.
@@steveturner7573 the police were originally put in place to protect the establishment and are used more against the people than for them......look at the black and white checkerboard hats they wear....freemasonry right in front of us
This was taken 3 years ago and we're still seeing the same footage and the same responses by those 'in authority'. When will they learn that if they ignore guys like AB, there would be no interesting content to view and the filming would dry up? But they don't and we continue to get entertained by their pathetic shenanigans. Carry on AB, you make the world a brighter place.
What was AB doing that caused such a high level of response? There is more to this than meets the eye We saw the Dog vans and the Dog handlers but what had the dogs found? Cash or explosives
Sadly, they failed badly. The first Corporal from the RAVC was way out of his depth with his silly rules and regulations that he made up. All he should have done is observe and if he wasn't satisfied then simply call the Ministry of Defence Police. It wasn't helped by the security guards on the gate who were also clueless about filming from public land. The first Ministry of Defence Policeman also handled it badly. He should have informed the military guys not to engage and really should have dismissed them once other police units arrived.
@@Tomteeejay the mod police officer had no need to dismiss the soldiers. The soldiers were doing the job that they were trained to do Is the base a Prohibited Place?
@@GregoryLancaster-rf7ce Not outside the perimiter of the base and on public land. The soldiers outside have the same authority as a civilan such as citizen's arrest. Once the police back up arrived or the arrival of the Military Police to assist then all the other military should have been dismissed. Filming a military base from public land is not an offence. Even the Ministry of Defence Police or civilian police didn't detain the auditors for a search or use any terrorism legislation for detainment or search. It was badly handled by the first Ministry of Defence Police Officer who should have told them not to engange and to remain in their vehicles.
@@Tomteeejay IF I had been one of those RAVC dog handlers I would have disregarded that suggestion from Mod Plod and taken the dog out of the van to give him a free run on the grass
That was unbelievable those soldiers were well of order when I served in the forces we protected the boundary of the base from the inside we were not allowed to patrol the public side.
@@MartinHiggins1972 it never did. I'm currently serving and I'm blown away at the stupidity shown here. More than likely these guys were instructed by some senior dinosaur to intervene. Most camps will have their guard conduct a mobile patrol around the outside of camp. They are not there to question the public. They fucked up and whoever is responsible will be getting a grilling.
@@patrickww99 agreed. It might be old but the ‘guard commander’ video makes it clear that anything outside of the wire is none of your business. Plus, some of these chumps need to hit the treadmill.
@@bhughes1986 they're medics mate, they don't do phys. But not technically correct, they do mobile patrols around the camp to check the fence line or rear gates etc. Sometimes they clear a HLS if needed. Again, they should never have to deal with the public.
You have an absolute right to remain silent and not answer questions and that cannot be a wilful obstruction of a police officer and has recently confirmed in the case pf Neale v DPP (Feb 2021). the right to remain silent is a particularly important part of our law. In addition, an obligation to give a name and address to the police would engage Articles 6 and 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights; Rice v. Connolly (1966) is an English legal precedent holding that there is no strict, general legal duty to assist a police officer prior to any possible arrest or caution, with even basic police enquiries nor to accompany the officer to a requested location.
Some very powerful and golden words said by AB to the Soldiers....Being a Pakistani I really envy UK...and I am not sure in my lifetime I will see an improvement in the attitude of our Police and Soldiers towards our civil population.. Well done to AB and he really is a brave and smart gentleman...Bravo!!
its a shame they don't act like this at dover and protect our boarders from real terrorists, i thought you handled yourself really well AB you're a credit to auditing
I love that use of the word suspicious like that actually means something You need to press them “what do you suspect me of?” Because to be suspicious means you are being suspected of doing something you shouldn’t HELLO MCFLY Great content again man
I visited RAF Scampton some time ago and was invited in to photograph The Red Arrows. Go to RAF Coningsby on any day and you will see dozens of photographer outside photographing some of our best defence aircraft. No problem. It is not unlawful.
Most excitement the Mod Plod has had all year ! Back in the day when I was in the military there were signs on military establishments stating "No Photography” which would of been enforced. But the world has moved on ....................except for some .
Inspector Gadget is suspicious of non-suspicuous activity 🤔. It's only a free country when the authorities get away with murder whilst us civilians are treated as criminals without doing anything and they make up rules for their own statistics 😉 Pure quality AB and your sidekick love ❤ u man. Auditing Britain rocks 👍🙏👏🤣🤣🤣
the bloated egos that these uniforms seems to bring them is astonishing. that they can lecture people what is decent, what isn't, what is moral, what isn't.. Jesus, they seem completely unable to control their paranoia about an action that is completely legal
Holy shit when I first started to watch, I thought you were in Kabul or Baghdad with all the soldiers out on the street ready to take out the citizens.
