The best part about this is that he is the one who uploaded the video, thinking it made him look clever, or that he taught them a lesson. When in reality, the entire world is thinking "What a bell end"

This is why everyone else perceives Americans as rude

"I'm American, so I know" - that's because Americans know every legislation from every country in the world!

He asks a barrage of questions but never waits for the answer to be given.

No one is making it racial except him. Very American behaviour unfortunately. In the U.K politeness will get you far.

The title says that the Police Get Owned, yet throughout the entire clip, despite asserting his right to walk away, he stayed there like an obedient dog. Good boy.

This is so cringe, this American is trying to use arguments that he'd not dare use in the USA to police over there. He's also assuming that the race of the description is paramount. Pathetic.

"If something happens to this guy's bladder its on you guys." What? Is this an episode of 'what is the dumbest thing an American has ever said to you?'

What an arrogant pri . Respect our police .

I think its just down to the fact that SOME Americans think that American laws cover them no matter where they are. They do not respect that other countries have their own laws and it does not matter what your countries laws are you respect them. If they were in the USA the police would have had him in handcuffs probably tazered with a gun aimed at him. He should be thankful the British police are more patient lol

He is sounding guilty even if he isn't , why would he not want to just help the police ? also why bring colour into it ?

This type of entitled behaviour is one reason many North American travellers sew a maple leaf on their backpacks.

You did a recent video labelled ""Why Do The British Look Down on Americans?" ... this one provides an example of why.

What a rude and belligerent man. How many times was he going to ask the same question, when he had already been given the answer? Such a great example of just how good our police are at staying calm when being antagonised deliberately.

Notice how kept speaking over the female police officers, but actually allowed the male officers to answer his questions? 🤷🏾‍♀️ Just unnecessarily rude & arrogant. I'm pretty sure he wouldn't have been so obnoxious back in the US! -x-

Notice how he lets the male copper speak but not the females. I read that he owned the police so much that they gave him a night in the cells! 😂

Recommended viewing to watch prior to visiting the UK. I can read the minds of the officers,and collectively, they were thinking, "What a knob."

The British police have the power to detain you if they suspect you of committing a crime.

If you read the description on the original video the police kindly gave him free bed and breakfast in the custody suite.

That tourist probably thinks he is beyond the reach of the law in the U.K. after Anne Sacoolas was allowed to leave the country, return to the US & get protection from facing justice for the unlawful killing of Harry Dunne on his motorcycle.

If you are in a foreign land, you have to conform to that country's laws, regardless of wether you are American or not. Obviously ,if you are innocent, it's in your own interest to co-operate fully.

Omg! This American isn’t doing his country any favours...

"Let's tie up as many officers as I possibly can by making ludicrous accusations, then complain about how long it's taking to do the necessary investigations." What a dimwit.

If he was in US he would have had guns on him on the floor in hand cuffs just for being a pain in the backside.

I am not saying all the British Police are perfect but they do Police by Consent not as a Right and in my interactions with them (not many, only as a witness), but just answer their questions and when they quickly work out what is going on you will be on your way, they will get back to you if needed. I thought the female officers were calm and professional as was the boss man who came in and backed them up.

Joel,,,,,the behaviour of the American individual was ,,,unfortunately,,,a fine example of why a lot of Europeans would prefer for there to be less transatlantic travel.

He's making the situation last longer by arguing with them. Keeping 4 officers busy with him at a crime scene isnt on. Why doesnt he ask to use the toilet under escort,or ask whether there is another toilet nearby.

i did giggle when he said my camera is more important than yours (i thought) oooooooowwwwwwwwwhhhhhh get her 😆 😆

Not in America now Bro He’s causing a scene he needs to realise he’s not in USA. Even a drunk isn’t that thick. The police can hold you for up to 24 hours before they have to charge you with a crime or release you. They can apply to hold you for up to 36 or 96 hours if you're suspected of a serious crime, such as murder. You can be held without charge for up to 14 days If you're arrested under the Terrorism Act.

What I love about this video is how the British police completely descalated the situation. I have seen so many videos of American cops who have only escalated this sort of thing. It shows how differently each force is trained.

It's interesting that his attitude changed when the male officer arrived to talk to him.

The basic issue with this one was that the guy thought that US law applied everywhere. Silly sausage

In the U.K. Police & public are generally on the same side. The guy with the camera has an attitude that leads me to wonder what he has to hide.

In the US in order to be detained the police officer has to have reasonable suspicion that a crime has been committed. These officers said that the two men matched the description, I don't know if that's true but if it is then that would have met the reasonable suspicion requirements to detain this man. I'm not sure if in the US just simply being in the nearby vicinity when a violent crime had been comitted would be reason enough to detain someone. But if none of these were true then in the US this man may have actually had a point. Of course he's in Britain though. Here in the UK the police officer is allowed to detain these men because a serious crime has been committed nearby and an investigation has to be carried out. The police can only do this if certain types of crime have been carried out. If these two gentlemen actually matched a description then even more so. That might sound unfair to people in the US because "it violates my rights" and all that stuff. But in the UK we accept that this is a necessary precaution needed to be made in rare circumstances when someone who has committed a serious crime needs to be caught. The needing to go to the toilet thing is sad, but also necessary. Can't have a critically important individual to the investigation going to the toilet and disposing of evidence or using the opportunity to escape. Also Police officers in the UK have to have a university degree or work through a sort of apprenticeship programme and on top of that go through two years of training in all matters pertaining to their job before they get their warrant card and are allowed to police the streets. So these officers are educated despite this man's assertions. 4:16

Pretty sure this guy does get himself arrested and detained for 24 hours

When I was younger (living in Belfast and Cambridge) the sound of an American accent in a bank or post office was enough to make an entire queue disperse in the twinkling of an eye. Because, basically, everyone knew a lot of time would be wasted.

The guy who wanted the bathroom didn’t really speak up for himself. What an obnoxious person.

On a totally unrelated note, Joel is looking really cool with clean shaven look.

This American just thinks he is clever but really he isn't.

Tell him, this is not America! For goodness sake...

The US constitution is of course not applicable here if you get arrested,and the police have the power in law to do that on suspicion.

He wanted the bathroom to get rid of his stash and stolen goods down the toilet.

“Helping the Police with their enquiries….” Is EXACTLY that! Stay where you are, answer the questions that are being politely asked to you, be patient, do as is asked by an Officer of the Law and….most importantly….just S….T…F…..U…..😵‍💫😵‍💫🙄🙄🙄

I’ve seen this several times now, and the more I watch the more embarrassing and cringey I find it, the guy is just plain rude, and that’s the polite version. My niece is a UK police officer and I am filled with even more respect for her and her colleagues for the patience they show in the face of such provocation.

I wonder if he acts this way to police in america?i highly doubt it,these are the sort of americans that give you all bad names lol

Would he get away with talking to cops in usa like that

It’s obvious that he couldn’t go to the toilet til police knew everything, he held up the process, his mate could have easily disposed of any evidence once away from the officers, just answer their questions & then go on your way once they know you’re not a suspect, plain & simple

That dude seriously needs to shut up. Boo

❤ "i know because i'm educated"

Anytime Jps watches a UK police interaction = me , we just need Sgt Catherine from Happy Valley. She'll sort it out

Hats off to the British Bobby, I certainly wouldn't have been as patient as these police officers. If it was possible I would have arrested him for obstructing officers in the line of duty.

If it was the other way round, the American cops would be pointing guns at him within 20 seconds.

Not sure of the law in the U.S, Over here you can be detained under reasonable suspicion, even if arrested they will say "You're being arrested on 'suspicion of committing an assault'" Also if it was only One of them that committed the assault, there is guilty by association, it is possible for both to be prosecuted with the crime.

The commonly described bleating PITA and considering the accent is totally unmistakable he had no reason whatsoever to point to his origin.

He should try using the right to bare arms because he's American. They are detaining him because he could be involved in a crime.

Someone sure wanted to get rid of some drugs pretty damn urgent….he needed to flush them down the toilet before being booked…yep

This is the sort of thing that gets Americans a bad name. The ones that think they know their rights in every other country as well as their own.

liking the shave fella 👍

This is as painful to watch as listening to a Trump speech, or a video of the recent incident in St. Pancras station ("Don't touch her! Don't touch her! Don't touch her! etc) Sure, some police are bad but these guys are trying to keep him there without arresting him and needlessly escalating things if he's not involved. Ffs unless you're guilty of a crime why not try and be helpful?

Hello Jps I have been following you for a long time love your channel! ❤️🇬🇧

If he reacted to police like that in America his feet wouldn't touch the ground.

Any other normal human would be thinking "oh crap, there's been an incident, I hope no one is hurt. Sure, I can hang around until the police get the info they need. Hope I can be of assistance" and the American's just like "don't involved me" ....such a selfish attitude which sadly is how most outsiders view Americans.

British and American law can differ, he is very lucky he was not arrested

When I saw the picture of you before I clicked the clip, I thought you were your brother, Ben. LOL. Hope he is well & not annoying you too much.

The time he spent arguing he could have given a statement and gone, respect other countries' way of investigating or doing things. Lucky he was not arrested for obstructing an investigation. These coppers have the patience of a saint!

The British police control a situation by engagement and persuasion - even if the person they are talking to is cantankerous or rude. The outcome the police want is for evryone to stay there without arresting them and that's what they get by argument, reason and persuasion. The guys are irritating and dumb but it's interesting they stay to argue - they believe they can walk away but they are so invested in the argument they carry it on and that is the outcome the police want to achieve. I say British police - I'm not saying American other police forces never do this but I think it's less common (being unarmed helps - you're less likely to argue with someone who has a gun).

The guy is at a crime scene.... the police officers in charge are non-aggressive and really polite and explanatory ... the guy filming is a drama queen and feels like being the victim... he is not.... they treat him as an adult and ask for his cooperation.... unfortunately he is from an almost fascist American society, American citizens are often being treated like cattle ... besides the fact that this guy who is filming is still rather immature he probably is also quite traumatised, or perhaps a better word: deformed by the American society he grew up in and probably still is living in. Any normal adult who is not guilty would comply with these very intelligible and polite police officers.... also to help them to clear up the crime ...

Enjoyed the video. The Royale family is one of my favourite comedy programmes. Glad you shaved your beard off.

I believe it same here that unless suspected of something, you can walk away

I've been stopped before, I just answered a few questions and they let me go in 2 minutes. This guy is just making things difficult

That guy shows no respect towards our police

This is like us British going to America and saying we know the law a lot more than the police force it doesn’t make sense

If you cooperate with the police person it goes a lot smoother. The man might know the law in his own country but it is not necessary the same over in UK

Some not sll Americans think thier constitution is portable and they carry it with them.

I'm finding the American guy very irritating hes not listening to the WPC or PC officers 😠 why can't he just be quiet and let them do their jobs he keeps asking if he is free to go and he's just not acknowledging what's being said to him he also has to remember that he is in the UK & not the US so our laws are so diffrent & has to realise what the wrongs & rights are here simple as... The sooner he starts listening the sooner things will get sorted he needs to show some respect to our police force 👮👍🏻👍🏻

omg yeah the beard has gone! you look sooo good!

We can't judge all Americans on the behaviour of one individual

If you're suspected of being involved in a crime and you are so insistent that you need the bathroom that would raise suspicions even further. Why the urgency? Getting rid of a weapon or some other sort of incriminating evidence. They guy's not very bright, is he?

Saying his camera is more important clearly shows he doesn't understand British law. On the British law the moment something is recorded in public by the police it becomes public property you have every right to access it and have copies. This is not América.

The WPC should have said "shall we make this formal then". If he then gave her further grief she should had arrested him!

Lock him up...😆

Personally I think one of those two was guilty of the assault and was trying to get away before being arrested.

The police have a number of different powers depending on the severity of the situation he is very lucky under some circumstances like bomb threats this would have gone much worse for him. The key is you never know what the situation is and its both always possible to have it explained so we know to cooperate best we can and not to interfere. It also shows a level of selfishness some thing has happened and all he can think is lets mess with the police and upload it

Thought I'd clicked on an older video for a sec 😂 Smooth face is back aha. You suit both tbf, I look like an actual baby when I shave mine so I always have a beard 😂

just let them do their job...

Skins is an awesome show. 💪What a time it was.

I've been detained more than once from not being able to leave my house to having to stay inside a shop. Yes it's extremely annoying but never have I once felt the need to argue. I understood the situation and the Police are just doing their jobs. They have always been respectful. What's the point in starting prolonging the situation. In fact he is lucky he is in the UK because Many other European countries would not of been so polite back to the gentleman.

How many times does he need telling he’s not free to go at the mo

Btw, if there was a toilet that wasn’t part of the crime scene, they would have to let him use it, he just has to be supervised by an officer. It was only that toilet specifically that he couldn’t use due to being in the crime scene.

You can't help but wonder if that American is testing those two police officers to see whether they will beat him up, shoot him or taser him lol. Looks like they just wanted a nice friendly chat with him lol, but anyway, police in most European countries are about de-escalation of a situation. Also, the reason I think it was a test is because I highly doubt he would speak to the police like he's doing here with how they react lol. The irony is, what he was actually doing made him sound more guilty then he actually is, which could have got him into trouble lol.

He has the mindset of a toddler.

This guy is so rude, constantly over talking and is disregarding what she is saying. A educated person would know how to behave when addressing a police officer. He is in a foreign country and assuming he knows the law. I am sure he would have been put in handcuffs and forced into a police car if he was in his home country.

the embarrassing thing is, if he just shut up & waited he would’ve been out of there in 5 minutes

Our police pretty much mirror how you act. If you’re respectful, they’re respectful to you. If you’ve got an attitude they’ll have an attitude back, but they’ll do it in a professional way so you have nothing to lodge a complaint about. It took me until my late 20s to realise that “yes sir, no sir” was the best approach if I didn’t wanna sleep on a cold blue mattress with no pillow or blanket 🤣 Do that and they’ll generally apologise for inconveniencing you and wish you a good day.

The police won't let you enter a place which they believe a crime has taken place, and this was during Notting Hill Carnival which is held over a few days with a couple of million in attendance. The police had ever right not letting anyone use the toilet, people need too remember when visiting another country abide by the rules set out, I have lived and worked in the Middle East and he wouldn't have got away with this behaviour there, respect where you're visiting or living

What amazes me though is that if a crime had been committed against him, he would expect the police to do a thorough investigation, making sure to question everyone around for suspects & witnesses. Clown! how do these people think crimes are solved? Of course public cooperation is needed. If u ain’t done nowt wrong just bloody do as they ask. It ain’t that hard. It’s so Weird to me🤔

Stupid people who think they are intelligent are the worst, you can't tell them anything.

Can't believe how few comments there are on Joel's lack of face fungus.

‘I’m an American, I know’ he didn’t finish his sentence, I missed off ‘I’m a knobhead’

This shows how arrogant some Americans can be. All the officers are displaying patience and are trying to investigate some kind of misdemeanour. Show respect, if this was some counties they’d have the handcuffs on him by now.
