UK police exposed

I have found the police keen to talk to you to strike up a conversation so they can catch you out with something and find a reason to arrest you.
I have found the police lie. A lot.
And bark "laws" that don't exist.
And get really upset if you don't do as you are told.
Like the copper who stopped a guy who did not want to get out of his car when asked to (there is no obligation in law to do so). He was forced out, cuffed and arrested.
Like the innocent picture-takers who are approached by police and told to stop and ID demanded on threat of arrest.
Like the police who assist bailiffs and other officials. When they are only there to keep the peace. They are not there to assist in a civil matter.

A tiny percentage of coppers I have met are decent and knowledgeable.
You must have met a lot of coppers to make a comment like that....how come you meet so many dude?...

I don't expect the police to approach me when I am in public, carrying out a lawful activity, to tell me it is unlawful then to persist in trying to engage me in conversation. When I refuse, to demand ID and threaten arrest when I refuse to give them any.
Arses.

Edited for clarity.
Lol,,,,,,only ever one winner with that sort of attitude!!,
 
Sadly I'm starting to realise why people refer to you as dum.

Yes, exactly and that is the problem. Police will go out of their way to find an admission of guilt without suspicion.

Well, age assists that! The older you are, the more you are likely to meet.
I met quite a few as a young driver.
The first I remember meeting was at the age of 17. I was driving late at night and was accused of passing a red light, which I definitely did not.
Then I was up for drink driving, which was quickly proven not to be the case, then it was smoking cannabis, and when that was found not to be the case (the guy searched the whole car and me and found nothing), he tried to pin a mechanical fault on me. He was all over the car again, checking tread depths, looking at the exhaust ("It sounds like it's blowing to me..." "No, it's an Alfa, they all sound like that.") and finally, when he could find nothing, I was "let" go. But before I was released, he asked me all sorts of questions he had no right to, like where I was going, where I was coming from, who my passenger was, what their address was (none of his business, I don't know about back then but now under the Road Traffic Act, passengers are not obliged to ID themselves) and finally I was on my way. "What about the red light?" I asked the copper.
"What red light?"
I had deja vu when a couple of years later, I was stopped again nearby in a different vehicle and accused of exactly the same violation. Maybe running a red light was the standard excuse for stopping someone at that time.
Another memorable time was when I was driving down a road in the second lane and an Escort in front of me braked. I assumed he was turning right, so took the first lane to pass him.
Next thing I knew, he was accelerating to level up with me and the passenger wound his window down and screamed "Police! Forking stop now you winker!" They were both wearing civvies and the car was a standard plain Escort (which I later found out was the driver's private vehicle) so I was not convinced and carried on driving.
Shortly after, they forced another car in front of them off the road, then swerved sharply in front of me, forcing me onto the kerb. They were both very aggressive and even threatened to report me to the local Council for damaging their property (the kerbstone).
I reported to incident to top brass at GMP as a case of members of the public impersonating police officers. I was visited by some division chief who tried to smooth things over but ultimately completely missed the point because they said at the end of the conversation something like "well, no harm done, you weren't charged with anything"....

Latterly, I have met coppers when they came to my home to "talk" to my son about an act of vandalism he was supposed to have carried out. They were very aggressive and accusatory, acting like judge, jury and executioner. After a lengthy investigation, it turned out some other idiot did it and when asked by the fellow to give his name, gave my son's name instead.
And the copper in central Manchester, who wanted me to stop taking pictures as I was a terrorist threat and insisted I ID myself or be arrested.
I pointed out that if I was a real terrorist, I would probably carry a hidden camera so as not to draw attention to myself. Or even stay in the warm and study Google Streetview.

So I may be unlucky, but the vast majority of cops (but by no mean all) I have dealt with in my life have been unprofessional.

Every Walk of life is riddled with as,,holes,,,,get over it.
 
I follow all CrimeBodge's videos and his website is brilliant, but I was disappointed by his latest vid (which the OP posted). It was a lot more spiteful and conspiratorial than usual. I think it's just a bitter reaction to being taken to court a couple of weeks ago by a jobsworth policechild who tried to have him convicted of a public order offense for saying "no sh!t" to him. Fortunately the case was demolished by the court clerk, but still a waste of time and money for all involved. I suspect CrimeBodge will think better and remove or edit the video when he's cooled down a bit.

Agreed, except the last part - why would he remove it ? This is far from an unusual occurrence is it really ? Or are you suggesting it isn't ?
