Very Interesting but I couldn't help thinking that I'd seen it before. The guy with the camera stood his ground very well and handled the situation admirably.
I think if a PCSO put his hand up and pushed the lens into my face, I may have reacted differently, the I would/may have been in the wrong.
Where will it all end

He reacted well - in the end the argument was not worth it for the coppers. To be honest though its not the new policy by the police that is the real clincher - its the policy of hte government to set arrest and other such "targets" to be met - and easy things like the above appempt (which proved less simple) are quick ways for a copper on the beat to up quotas with little work. Its not just them being lazy though, if they don't keep thier quotas up then they can come under fire, so there is pressure on them as well.

Overread,
Please be aware that those depicted in the video are NOT 'coppers', they are PCSO's, Police Community Support Officers. Plastic Polis!
