Our teacher played this at school to twenty of us explaining just how little about the law police know. We went through the sections and had to guess how much compensation the bad officers would cost the tax payer. There was an apology from their boss the next day but it hit home to us in class that the police don’t follow rules and don’t actually understand a lot of their powers. We later looked at how little resource is place on actual crimes and how much on petty fines and bits of rubbish. The teacher was an ex cop and he said cops like this is the norm.
@@DG-yb4wc the whole school watched this when it came out. The form tutor went through the legislation and then we watch the apology. It’s was a life lesson most of us thought the police knew what they were doing but now everyone just keeps as far away from them as possible. Just for our safety.
If you're really a school student then you have a very impressive mature outlook 👏👏👏. Correct about the resources being used on petty infringements and not real crime. Have you ever considered that maybe this is not an accident, but the true purpose of the police? To incriminate and therefore restrict as many peoples lives as possible? With all the technology and surveillance laws the police now have access to, they could eradicate all crime if they wanted to. But they don't? Could it be be, because if all crime was eradicated, the police would invalidate their own existence, and it would no longer be justified to use all the surveillance and tech to spy on the entire public?
"Do you think I'm a terrorist?", "No." "What are you arresting me for?" "For being a terrorist." Only the police could make these statements with a straight face.
@@tonypate9174 BOOTLICKING the new age religion where the submissive peasants worship the uniformed police as their God. These same peasants disavow their fellow humans who do not subscribe to their religion and pray that their police deity will strike down these heretics with their ungodly weapons.
It irritates me NO END that the insincere apology says you were detained. You were ARRESTED! Do they not know the difference????? Once again they trivialize their illegal actions and therefore show NO desire to improve.
They don't care - they think they can do what they like. There is zero leadership at this station and not a single cop or the custody sergeant had a clue what they were doing or an ounce of knowledge on the law! It is a national scandal and we are footing th bill for these vile, violent thugs!
Every single one of them who spoke in this video including the custody sergeant knew that the dc Bills was in the wrong but not had the guts or integrity to correct her and de arrest you. They failed big time and this shows the whole force is rotten from the top to the bottom. When will these officers be held accountable for their actions. It’s embarrassing and disgrace.
She admitted to abusing the terrorist act because you refused to give your name. She very clearly stated that she did not think you are a terrorist, but was using the terrorist act in order to arrest you to get your details. She should be fired.
And in doing that she committed an offence under Section 26 of The Courts and Criminal Justice Act 2015. Punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment or a fine or both.
I'm sorry to see you had to put up with that but well done, AB. The corruption and incompetence in British law enforcement runs deep and you are doing a fine job making sure everyone sees it!
It is treason imo. 800,000 British Service Personnel died in WWII alone fighting for our rights and freedom and we end up with this. No matter what happens they will not get my children for their fodder in any other war.
All the officers knew DC Bills was wrong, but not a single one had the decency and integrity to correct her. It’s a systematic problem. The force is rotten inside out.
Years ago i got compensation against mercia police, the case against them was classed as a kidnapping and i got compensation, but they still won't leave me alone. Ps i have more evidence against them, but corruption in Britain is epidemic with lots of corporations".
The sheer scale of incompitence demonstrated by all officers involved, particularly the custody Sergeant is truly astonishing! I would like to think that these officers were disciplined but I doubt it. You more than deserved the compensation and I hope you enjoyed your holiday.
DC Bills should be sacked for her blatant abuse of power, nothing less. What a horrible nasty little nobody. The rest of her corrupt colleagues should at the very least be on a final warning. Well done AB, I hope you and AB junior enjoyed your well deserved holiday.
“The next step is simply to arrest you..” How many times does she need to repeat that!? Rolls off the tongue. What a tyrant. I hope you’re embarrassed by this Joanne. I’m embarrassed for you.
14:28 - "He's been arrested for refusing to give his name and address". This ignorant statement and the scenario behind it should see this Quota Hire of a DCI busted back to Constable at the very least. If she is reading these comments I doubt very much if she even knows what she did wrong.
The custody sergeant should have declined to have AB further abused and caged, otherwise it is policing by the dumbest and lowest of the low. SMH. ACAC
@@AbzScotlandwhy would they help a member of the public? They all act in unison to convict as many people as possible. People with arrest records and/or criminal convictions are much easier to control because in the publics eyes they must be bad if the system has prosecuted so the other members of the public will quite happily overlook any mistreatment of those individuals.
@@mcirelandosharma7411 What you say is correct but there is a video posted by News Now Yorkshire - "You're Under Arrest" where an Auditor was arrested but the custody sergeant refused to detain him in a cell.
Rebecca love refused to take my calls after I was arrested twice for “malicious communications”for just telling my mom I felt suicidal and needed some help. My mom complained and got me a solicitor and 4 years later it’s not in court because they delayed everything. An internal investigation took them 3 years! They are horrible people
I can't get over the fact that they constantly use laws they don't have a clue about. If the court's awards came out of the police officer's own pocket, this type of tyranny would stop. Keep up the good work, AB.
The custody sergeant seemed to realise this was an ulawful arrest and could have stopped all the nonsense by ordering the de-arrest. But sadly, he perpetuated the unlawfulness and sent you to the cells instead! 😮
The whole lot of them should be sacked and face criminal prosecution for this. AB would have been within his rights to bring a private criminal prosecution against them, as per Crimebodge. The evidence is all there on this video and AB's previous one.
Thanks to AB the public can see what bullies we have walking our streets with the warrant card, abusing members of the public, for their own insecurities and inflated egos, this police woman represents the low grade of individuals which has infested the force.
this waz a undercover oink so spouse to be above the other oinks im in caediff been 2 deaths they pick on muslim community the oinks got wores than bad
She arrests AB under The 'Terrorism Act' yet carries his bag to the police station which for all she knew as no one had searched it at that point could have contained something potentially dangerous inside.
I agree, but in reality they kidnapped AB from the street like they are the soviet union KGB, just because he wouldn't be obsequious and acquiesce to their demands, their powers are titular to a British Citizen until a crime have been committed and that's what they don't like, Having a Free Society instead of a police state where they control you.
And he asks her at that point "so do you really suspect me of being a terrorist", and she says No. We need your details ! Glad AB and his family had a great holiday on these corrupt idiots.
They did that because they never suspected him of being a terrorist, they just abused the act to try and bully him. Hence the apology when they were caught at it.
@@davecarter2508 That's right, it's the irony and as you say abuse of the act I wanted to raise in this comment and by carrying his rucksack just highlights not only IMO her abuse of This Act which she didn't appear to know what section she was using to arrest AB,the bullying/control aspect but the stupidity of carrying the bag of someone she has 'suspicions' of being a terrorist. All the best
She already said on camera it was because she wanted to ID him. Not a brain cell floating anywhere near her brain imo! If she was on a TV show pitting herself against the public knowledge of the law I bet even my 5 year old granddaughter would know more. How the superintendent can display confidence in a single person in that police station is beyond me. She should be fired along with all the police involved in this case.
section 33.... says it all lol Well done AB, your kindness and inspirational philanthropy is well documented, if anyone deserves a holiday it's you, and your family,. You are a justice warrior.
So, the DC wasn't aware she could not arrest him under the Terrorism Act, the PC was also ignorant of this fact and the custody sergeant made it a hat trick of ignorance. Well done, to all involved, on your monumental display of incompetence.
@@duncansteward4331the police haven't served the public for many many years. They hold nothing but contempt for anyone who questions their authority. As if we the people do not have a right to do that.
Whilst it's not the job of the custody sergeant to correct the arresting officer, he should have made more of a point of identifying under what circumstances the arrest was made. Simply saying 'The Terrorism Act' is as meaningless as saying 'under the policing law'. The custody sergeant isn't there to vet whether arrests are legit, he's there to run the custody suite, but the custody sergeant is always the bloke you ask if you don't know what the law is. That he never asked what section of the Terrorism Act is lazy at best. That she said she didn't know and the custody sergeant just sort of metaphorically shrugged and went 'well....whatever...' shows that the incompetence runs right through the whole of that nick.
"Police law" gets me everytime.😂 Never a more true word. They make up their own laws sometimes. Just need another followup video from the Police admitting exactly what mistakes they made one by one.
It is sad when the senior officer is this ignorant of the law and our rights. If only they protected us like they do THEMSELVES AND PRIVATE BUSINESSES.
Protect private businesses? That they certainly don't! When drunk yobbos tried to pull an employee from a very high ladder, blatantly putting his life at risk, the attempt at manslaughter (murder?) clearly made, I was transferred from department to department, no one bothered even to turn up after 40 minutes of waiting, though my lad got safely down (thankfully, and by luck). Name and shame Kent Police for that one, though I have seen worse around England, many a time... the UK police are a national disgrace and the lower courts are no better.
Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I’ve learned a lot from you over the years and it was good to know the outcome of your arrest. And I’m especially pleased to see you got compensated and finally used it for you and your family. Well done and thank you.
Focus Pocus has it right, when they say ‘ you were acting suspiciously’ he asks them ‘ do you know what suspicion is’? “ it’s opinion without evidence “ gold!
All cops are like this. The bad ones start the incidents. And the so called good ones remain silent and back up the bad ones. They're all essentially rotten to the core.
On top of it, they are wasting valuable time & tax money. They spend all this time, resources & manpower for a lW abiding citizen with a camera, in public. This should be punished or at least be marked in their personal file as a big fat fail.
Remember this video well; thank you for the update brother - keep up the good work. My word the way DC Bills uses language to describe the alleged offence making it sound as if you were doing something wrong. I’m glad you got an apology and I’m glad they were embarrassed by what happened.
you earned every penny AB from the people you educate you are owed alot more i hope one day you are compensated in full with bonus for your work ....and earn a place as a pilgrims master
You suffered assault, kidnap, your person was violated, and your liberty was taken from you. £3,250 is total insult. 10 times that amount would still not even be close. Those clowns should all be sacked.
The fact that they can get away with this tyrannical behavior cries out for refinement of the ridiculous, all inclusive "Terrorism act", which at this point gives them the right to use it for any stupid reason they choose. (suspicious, suspicious, suspicious, what BS!)
Hi, the Terrorism Act was tightened up substantially a few years ago by Parliament because of misuse of it by the police - but of course if stupid tyrants jackboot all over it what on earth can decent people do?
Our government could care less about the people and we should repay the compliment when they want our children to go to war for them. They will NEVER get my children conscription or no conscription. They have ruined our country and our lives and one day they will want to take them.
This arrest is an utter disgrace! She has abused her position and committed an unlawful arrest in my opinion. This is where our society is heading into oblivion with authoritarian rule!
This is treason - look at the death toll of our soldiers - 800,000 in WWII alone who sacrificed their lives for our rights and freedom. My father went to war with 4,000 men and only 32 came home. There is no way we should have to live with people like this on our streets bullying and intimidating innocent people. God only know what these thick lawless thugs are doing to our children, elderly and other vulnerable groups.
The thing I do not understand is, the Desk Sergeant has the power to either approve the arrest (after hearing the arresting officer) or to de-arrest (i.e. for lack of grounds). So it baffles me after hearing Insp. Bills explain that AB was filming on the pavement (= legal), filming cars (= legal), filming the station (= legal) and since no offence was committed AB did NOT have to identify (not even under S43) the desk sgt did not stop this. Must be a thin blue line thing.
dont forget that PC who walked in later that knew AB from a previous encounter. All allowed the arrest in order not to hurt the arresting officers feelings.
Yes the desk Sargent should know the law...should have stopped it at the station..bollocked that woman and made her apologise to you...she is ignorant and the d,s, is weak..
Desk sgt incompetent and embarrassment to desk sgt everywhere. They're to stop the idiocy from dummies on the street. I'm in the US and even I know you don't have to identify under 43. Make up some antisocial bullshit if you want to ID, officers.
As is said above, they already do and we (tax payers) pay for that too. But this amount would be below the excess so it would be paid out of their budget. Either way, we the public pay for their incompetent
Glad you had a nice holiday sir! I am still amazed that police forces think they can just flex the rules to suit their own agenda without repercussions from mistreating the public, all because they have a camera and can't grasp a simple social experiment.
But the fuktard still has to walk through the nick with the other fuktards sniggering and wispering Police Law behind its back. DC Slack Alice will take yesrs to recover from this......with a bif of luck.
They do get a bollocking, I know a copper ( an actual decent one with brain cells) that works in one of the nick of one his more infamous searches, she got one hell of a bollocking, not enough I grant you.
Good work A.B. I hope you enjoyed your holiday. Tunisia looks like a lot of fun. Shame that you got cuffed and locked away but hopefully your work will prevent other people from having their rights abused by people abusing the powers that we have loaned them.
proving beyond doubt that even a lunatic can become a policethingy. this woman has to be the most insecure person on the force. and her buddy was just as bad, standing there letting madame break the actual law.
Mate they bloody film are cars about 200 times a day with the ANPR cameras.... The same common law that allows them to film, allows us to film also.... She needs her rank to be stripped and put on phone duty
@@StonedSc00by That utterly repugnant woman isn't fit to be on toilet cleaning duty ...... and her knowledge of the law can be written on the an atom!!!
If you need to see the doctor, just record outside a police station and refuse details, you get to see a medical advisor. Takes less time than the phone call for an appointment.
AB that was absolutely brilliant, especially the credits at the end. Why not treat yourself at these incompetent idiots and law breaking bullies expense, although its a shame that it doesn't come out of the pockets of these individuals.
This is amazing how even the custody sergeant seems confused as to why you were arrested and then conspires to start making it up as he goes along. I'm shocked! We need to be worried as this seems to be standard behavior by the police. The statement from the Superintendent should also take a good look at her own department. I would be thoroughly embarrassed. The costs should be deducted from the Superintendent's and the arresting constables salaries, they will then think twice in the future...
You are very good man 😢 I was so happy when you bought balls for the kids I swear to God I watch you every night. You are a very beloved man. I am from Kurdistan. The Kurds of London love you very much❤️❤️
I' m from Tunisian, i love to meet you last week i was there but i was in Hammamet, and i believe you was in Monastir . If i know you going last week i could meet you and show you around with pleasure. Good work legend 👏 I'm always watching 👀 you . You Are Legend 🤙
You were so nice with them at the very start, communicated clearly, and you can see that this made the officers go on a major power trip, she couldn't even tell which law and section you were detained/arrested under!
God only knows how that sad sack of a woman (DC Joanne Bills #926) got promoted to DC. With her people skills and knowledge of the law she'd be more suited to making the tea in the staff canteen.
Fantastic work AB! I think it's incredibly important that auditors hold law breakers to account, especially police who abuse their authority and violate the rights of citizens. I hope you had a joyful and well-earned holiday and wish you the very best for 2024. More power to your elbow 👍
“Acting suspiciously” is NOT a legal ground to even ENGAGE with somebody, let alone arrest a Member of the Public under Section 43… What a disgrace those tyrants are. They need a good spanking from their mothers.
@@MetalFan10101 False. The requirement is ‘reasonable suspicion that a person is about to commit a crime, has committed a crime and/or intending to commit a crime’. All she needed to articulate was the specific crime she thought his ‘acting suspiciously’ indicated. This is very clear from case law precedent decisions and the Policies/Procedures/Ethical documentation available to the Public.
@@Bruce4lmightyas far as I'm aware the police have the same rights as any member of the public to ask you questions or just say "hello" but they are also required as any member of the public to stop interacting if you let them know it's unwelcome or it may be considered harassment, at least theoretically. On the other side of it you are not required to answer their questions except to identify yourself if the cop has a reasonable, articuable suspicion of having committed an offence. I'd think that any rule that the Police can interact with you only if you've committed an offence to be somewhat against the Peelian principles as it would hinder the Police's ability to obtain the consent and cooperation of the public through a friendly demeanour although I would admit that many cops nowadays consider friendliness to constitute gross misconduct.
I was a cop in the 80s. Its possible to get things wrong. However, the person responsible for locking you up is the custody sergeant. I remember the custody sergeant had a load of books regarding the law back then. He's the one who should have pointed out to female cop that she had made a mistake. Its a learning curve for the young male cop who was lead by the DC.
He was there and heard her say we are arresting you under the terrorism act,and heard when asked,do you think I'm a terrorist and reply no,that was when he should have refused to arrest him, he's as insidious as the rest of them..
" the person responsible for locking you up is the custody sergeant" - correct. At first he was doing well and asking pointed questions to the DC but nonetheless, he fell into the trap. Myself, I don't agree with this payout, I feel it's cheap to be fair and AB should have taken this all the way to push the point. Furthermore, in AB's arsenal to push the point, he had a public apology from the superintendent who's clearly stating they, her force, were wrong. AB's quest is to audit public officials and if they're get out of line, bring attention to it however, in this case, I feel it needed to go further than a payout. The DC and the custody sergeant are senior and should know better and therefore, should be demoted or fired. An example should be made for the tax paying public to feel confident. That DC was way out of control and depth and yet, she's more than likely still in her position... scary.
They only apologised for their 'mistake' because they got caught making it.. Rest assured countless other 'mistakes' are made daily and individuals who perhaps don't have RU-vid channels, are having their legal rights to do lawful activities removed without any 'apology' or acknowledgement. Keep fighting the good fight AB. Holiday well deserved :)
Thanks for the long awaited update AB and hope you had a lovely holiday. I must say I am shocked at the payout for what they did to you, the contempt they showed you was disgusting. They all conspired and perverted the course of justice by lying to lock you up for 5 hours and they simply get away with it and give you a pathetic payout. No doubt all the Officers involved in this have now been promoted. I do hope that these savages we call the Police are reading these comments and understand the public do not support or respect you. More shocking in all of this was the custody Sergeant he should know better.
Yeah I'm glad it wasn't just me that thought this payout was a bit on the low side considering what AB went through. By contrast, a barrister illegally arrested at a picket line in London in 2020 then dearrested four minutes later without being taken to custody got £3,000 from the Met.
I would say, that anyone who wins a complaint, should insist on a similar video. After all section 3 of the police code of ethics is clear. They have no choice but to do it.
Not just her. The whole gang including the desk sgt were vile. Evil criminal gang there. Bullying a private citizen, just to satisfy their personal wishes.
Cant believe this is the standard of British Police . Sir Robert peel the founder of the police force would hang his head in shame of how the standards are now . R.i.P Bobby 😢
Well done AB,this shows how the police think they are "THE LAW" how many people have been treated the same way and just complied, and gone home? How did this even get past the custody Sgt when the reason for arrest was initially stated as "to obtain your name and identity" it shows they think they're one big club, and we're not in it🤬
Tbf the men can be as bad most have a good understanding or a grasp that they don't and will listen and radio it in But these people's intelligence run down their mother's leg. . Proving evolution can go backwards for far too long
Sad little bitches had no love in their sad little power tripping lives , this is why people hate police women they are pathetic .if a 12 year says you look like my gay nan your nicked sooooooo sad soooooo pathetic emotions over truth and the law ,sack these idiots .
This is harrowing to watch AB, if it wasn't you but someone who had no idea of their rights it doesn't bear thinking about. You deserve full grovelling apologies from every single one of them ❤
Amazing how quickly the police act when they feel feel alarm or destressed or misgendered. Such as a shame the don't act so quickly when it comes to the general public.
Completely thick, very possibly (and this I accept is a very generous view!) they are SO thick that they don't realise they're also being outrageously and vilely corrupt. They are 100% the enemies of decency and of decent people - sickening, tyrannical creatures. I'm so proud of you and your marvellous, so valuable work AB, and your son is delightful. Thanks again and very best wishes from South Wales - not that far from Swansea Police Stayshon.
Well said. I'm glad that I'm not the only one who could see that, it was so glaringly obvious that they are... well stupid. She (and her colleagues) came across as being a long way from bright. The very fact that she didn't think it necessary to quote the section which she was using to detain you but instead muttered some rubbish about the "policing law". And, if the other guy had two brain cells to rub together he would have interjected at that point and clarified which law/section she was detaining you under. "The police law"..... This is like something that the thickest lad in the class would answer on the first day of Police School, you know the guy, the chap that would go to the toilet and get lost on his way back. Its easy to laugh at their obvious low levels of IQ but you are right, this isn't good enough and does indeed lead to them believing that they are not stupid which results in corruption, tyranny and abuses of powers. What's the bet that these Wally's are still in the Police force.
