Re: Watch where your taking photo's round here!
 

Well, congrats to Garinda...he's come up with the goodies once again. And congrats to Accy cops on sniffing out a self-publicising, trouble making arsehole. This character should have been arrested, fined and locked up for a month for good measure, just for wasting police time. Oh...and he should have been taken round the back of Accy nick for a good kick in the bollocks, just to show who's in charge.

My pleasure.

I wouldn't give his naff snaps house room either.

Re: Watch where your taking photo's round here!
 

what did i say earlier about this guy not being the only plank?:D;)

Re: Watch where your taking photo's round here!
 

If hes a member of freemen of Ireland ... wheres his irish accent ...

Re: Watch where your taking photo's round here!
 

The police were alerted by the innocent Accy public, to the moron's pathetic charade.

If you're innocent you've nothing to fear.

Bit late sayin 'if only', after a bomb's ripped the town apart.

It looks like the members of the public were right in their suspicions, and right to alert the police.

As Katex said, their time, and our money, was being taken up with these idiots, whilst they should have been policing the Victorian Christmas event.

Out police should be commended for dealing with these 'freedom fighters' in a civilised and professional manner, which thanks to the video evidence supplied by Patefield, we know they did.

There are people in Afganistan at the moment currently in the process of laying IED's with the aim of killing British and other NATO/ISAF troops...but they don't have Afgan accents, Instead, their accents are those of Luton, Birmingham or Oldham...and several other places nearby.

In the history of terrorism and it's sympathisers, this character ain't unusual by any means.

Don't be racist.

Perhaps that's his phone voice.

:D

Re: Watch where your taking photo's round here!
 

The police were not alerted by anyone other than a PCSO who did not know what she was talking about.

His "attitude" is one of being pi$$ed off with being hassled by the police for legally taking photographs.

Wake UP and see whats happening all around, peoples rights are being screwed over by the police, using any act they can think of just to do so.

There are examples of this all over the web.

He was released without charge, so obviously someone at the station saw sense.

He committed no crime and was not doing anything illegal, he was 100% correct in what he said - you are not required to give your details to the police just because they ask for them.
You have to have broken the law first or they must have a good suspicion that you have (and be able to explain what their reasoning for it is).

Re: Watch where your taking photo's round here!
 

Where you there, as an eye witness?

The police said they were alerted by members of the public, because of the suspicous way this group were acting. It seems with good reason, given all the information regarding the associated groups they are aligned with.

I'm more inclined to believe the police, mainly because I suspect my suspicions would have been raised by them too.

The police seemed friendly and professional, and there seems to be no reason that they'd lie.

Although the group happily filmed the police, as well as members of the public, they seem quite camera shy themselves, which is more than a little ironic.

If people can't see these people set out on a confrontational mission with the police, as Cashy said, there's more than one plank about.

Besides, we know what the police looked like, but have no idea as to the appearance of this group.

Oh, as well as being on the link to the the Anti Terrorist website, the videos, of people wearing terrorist styled clothing, and with disguised voices, and proclaiming how to deal with the police, are actually on Tír Na Saor - Freemen of Ireland site, of which the photographer is a member.

If you can't see there was definitely an agenda that day in Accrington, perhaps you've got your Balaclava on the wrong way round.

Re: Watch where your taking photo's round here!
 

Just one word sums it up for me ...ENTRAPMENT. That's what they set out to do by starting off acting suspiciously ... worrying innocent shoppers.

Did they come from Accrington ? Doubt it. :rolleyes:

Re: Watch where your taking photo's round here!
 

bit off topic but I found out last week that if the police stop you when your taking pictures and they want to confiscate the photos you have taken they have to obtain a court order to do so and cannot simply open your camera and take film or memory card. you can object to them opening it and tell them you know they require a court order to do so.
may be old news but was new to me.
