So are you now admitting that details are asked for when no offense is suspected, or claiming that such footage doesn't exist?

Are you sure that you aren't mixing up a stop on the street and a road traffic stop? The powers are rather different between the two.

What? When did I say either of those things? I'm saying I dont need to watch police programmes on TV to know how police operate, which is not as some people on here with little or no experience are stating.

TBH I'm fed up with coming on here and the legal threads dissolving into police bashing, and when I add an accurate and experienced perspective, based on reality rather than ignorant opinions or make believe or one sided clips on YouTube its challenged by the same people who are completely confused with bias based ignorance.

Whoa, steady on there.

You said that if no offense is suspected, that they wouldn't ask for details. Footage (some of which is filmed from a pro-police aspect) shows that this is not the case.

Your comment about 11 years in the force read as if you were agreeing with me, which would contradict your earlier statement. I only asked for clarification.
To read that as "police bashing" is borderline paranoia.

How do you know what the police in the clip did or did not suspect ? (since suspicion is something that would be in their minds )

also as demi lion said a lot of those police/camera/action programs focus on motoring offences where the rules are different
 
Always a very interesting thread :D I've had dozens of interactions with the police nearly all positive...the only time I've ever had an issue was during the Olympic Torch run through our local town and having planned for weeks the location...getting there well in advance to secure the perfect vantage point all set up and then about an hour before the police came along and said everyone had to leave that are because it was to be used for a press call...it wasn't used ;) and that if I didn't move I'd be arrested as a terrorist :(

The Youtube videos or articles in the press are stronger than your say so.

To you, maybe, but not to me. Those videos, the ones that arent set up to provoke, are by far the exception, rather than the rule.

And of course, they are one sided, the poster sets out to prove a point, so anything that doesn't fulfill their agenda does not make the final cut.

Those that are accredited have the power to demand your details as well as in some cases arrest.

I know Essex police have been involved in accrediting and that some local authority personnel and local security guards have joined it.

Why would you refuse a voluntary body cavity search if you had nothing to hide?

because it involves a close invasive search of your internal body cavities ? - not really the same thing as saying "yes officer my name is Bob smith"

or because I wouldn't want to make the officer feel inadequate by demonstrating who has the bigger truncheon ;)
