veritas	This lad is a bit of a hero for standing up for his rights. He also has all the makings of an excellent journalist with the presense of mind to record the event.

This young lad is in no way being belligerent. All he is doing is asking the police again and again on what grounds are they asking to see his id they constantly change their reasons as each time he is given another spurious reason.... 'it is illegal to photograph children in public' - it isn't... 'it is illegal to photograph policemen' - it isn't. It is this young man's right to know why he is being stopped, moved on, detained. That is all he is doing. To compare him to a drunken lout is just bloody ridiculous.
BR	No it was not one copper. Look at the photos. It was a WHOLE GROUP of "thuggish" police - trying to intimidate a 16 year old lad. Sorry - but you obviously have not seen the Police in action recently. Yes there are a few nice Police - often behind the counters of Police Stations ( they have received training in Public Relations ) but out on the street they lie and cheat and enforce themselves on the General public. It is not pretty. These are not isolated incidents. The You Tube network is full of them - the Daily Mail - just at the G20 we saw incidents into double figures for just one day including the MURDER of Ian Tomlinson and the shocking attack by PC SMELLIE on the woman with a juice carton ( dangerous weapon ) : The "POLICE COURT" ruled he did not attack her - despite CCTV showing that he did very clearly......reminds me of the goal that was not a goal. It is only an attack if the POLICE say it is an attack - it is only a murder if the POLICE say it is a murder. Sorry Robbie - the rest of us know what is happening on the street. For every good Policeman there are 100 jobsworth STATE TROOPERS who want to be like ROBOCOP in the movies and star in reality TV. That is what I see on a daily basis. That is the experience of 95% of the population and only those who work for or with the Police want to see it otherwise.

If it was me I would say NO - and sack the lot of them and let them go and find out what it is like on the benefit system. This video backs up everything we have been discussing and reading about in the press - it proves beyond any doubt at all the attitude that prevails in the Police and how they misuse their power. It is a MUST SEE VIDEO all the way through. The police are a huge organisation employing 10s of thousands of people. This is one copper trying to get rid of an annoying woman who was been deliberately beligerant. It hardly indicates that the police are all a bunch of thugs and totally lawless. On Crimewatch roadshow last week it showed cctv footage of the police in Maidstone have to deal with drunks after the England USA match on tv. One guy was arrested (quite rightly) for abusive and threatening behaviour, the police handcuffed him next to the police car and he preceeded to head butt the car window smashing the windscreen and in the process knocking himself out. This is the kind of idiots they have to put up with every week. If you had to deal with the kind of nutter in your job, then you would get a bit annoyed sometimes.
