POWERLESS Stoke Newington Police Keep Genius Auditor in Cuffs for 30 Minutes

In This Video we break down one of the most damning police station audits filmed in London — a Metropolitan Police sergeant detains an independent journalist under Section 43 of the Terrorism Act 2000 for the "crime" of standing on a public pavement with a camera outside Stoke Newington police station. She never identifies herself. She never states what she's searching for. She never gives reasonable grounds. He's grabbed, handcuffed, searched, and held for over thirty minutes — and by the end, not a single offence has been alleged. Along the way you'll see the "hostile reconnaissance" theory collapse in broad daylight, an officer admit on camera he won't make excuses for a colleague, and the auditor invite the Met to read their own published guidance on photographers and terrorism powers — guidance nobody bothers to check. We name the statute, list the legal test, and tick it off against the footage line by line, so you know exactly which powers police have, which they don't, and what an officer is legally required to tell you before they lay a finger on you. Same man, same camera, same day at Tottenham — no detention, no cuffs, no search. Same law, opposite result. Then, at the very end, the sergeant's name finally comes out. Watch it to the finish, because what she says as she releases him tells you everything about why the public no longer trusts the police.

They don't like cameras because they are scared stiff, that you will catch them doing nothing, as usual, or something illegal. They don't seem too busy, when they can spend ages spouting sh*t, they know nothing about. Perhaps it could be, that they are leaving their work shift early, and don't want to be seen stealing from the public purse.
PS. But surely they wouldn't do that?
