Arrested for asking a policeman for his badge number
"The Guardian has obtained this police footage of Emily Apple and Val Swain being arrested by surveillance officers after asking for their badge numbers at the Kingsnorth climate camp last year. The two women speak to Paul Lewis about their arrest, imprisonment and official complaint "
What's shown in videos like this are rarely ever the entire story. Once you are told, or ordered to do something, or not to do something by the Police, and you fail or refuse to comply, then you are in the wrong, whether or not you agree or like it. If you interfere with the officer doing his job, then you are also in the wrong. You also do not dictate what his job is, or if you're interfering; it is totally at the officer's discretion. We in the US have these same type to deal with on occasion also. Stay safe... :)

most people who flim police are arrested for anything the police can come up with. if people dont start standing up for there rights what little rights we have its going to get worse. we have cops where i live at the sheriff dept who will beat the hell out of you if you have a cam and trying to flim them doing wrong. its time for people to stand up and say we have had enough of police beatings and arresteing people just because they can.
***ing pigs, they only get away with it because people dont stand up ,
