| Well uneducated Community Support Officers are a pretty easy target, and their logic and arguments (or comedy) isn't nearly as good as it should be. But they make a good point. There are a huge amount of cops on the streets in the UK. They should push it far enough to get arrested then get it chucked out of court. |

I didn't quite have the patience for the 3rd video, but the first two I thoroughly enjoyed - thanks! |

Yikes! Filming and photography is now grounds for stop and search under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act.
This is intended to be in certain prescribed areas. Guess what - it is currently the whole of London!
157,290 people were stopped in 2007.
1222 were arrested.
I'll wager 0 were terrorisers.

| Well it'd be interesting to look at the psychological affect on the population etc etc... but obviously if you're arresting sooo many people and getting 0 results, it's not a good tactic. Blunt policing or intentional encroachment on civil libertites in the interest of a 'police state'? |

The Met. don't want this either.
(I do like our police, it's only 'cos of them we don't have armed police.
The independence of the Chief Constables has prevented us from a national police agency. If that goes we are doomed IMHO.) |

This one is a bit frightening.

It's nothing new though.
My old dad was deported from Nottingham to Yorkshire in 1984, he was just on his way to work and detained forcibly and put on a bus! |

Ha ha! Most police forces in the UK have email addresses these days.
I've been emailing like a demon denouncing our expense cheating MPs.
God knows what will happen to me if I ever return to the UK but I have a plan:
1. Pay respects at the Cenotaph.
2. Have a picnic on Parliament lawn.
3. Rant at Speaker's Corner.
4. Take photos of anything I bloody well want.
5. Apply for a job at Thames House.
Laters potaters. |

His 'understanding' of evictions from private property seems a bit off to me.
If someone enters my home and is doing something I find offensive - and I ask them to leave and they refuse - I hope to hell the police would support me (in a professional manner of course). |
