In this video we check out an American tourist trying to "educate" the British police. This was a very irritating video and embarrassing as an American to watch.

They do talk over the female officers and do indeed back off when a male officer speaks. This happens a lot. The female officers did a good job of staying calm and interacting with the crime scene. The whole idea of a Police Force is that they work together. If it takes a man to tell them the law then that works in this situation...They were both cowards and had the combined IQ of a crayon.

When it was just the two female officers he was arrogant, confrontational and disrespectful but once the male officer became involved he backed off on the attitude and was politer.

I'm a UK officer. Stuff like this happens literally all the time. I once had someone tell me that I HAD to arrest someone because he "told me to". When I didn't arrest said person he stated he'd be talking to his lawyer about me. nearly 5 years down the line I've still not heard a single thing. I've had people tell me that I can't force entry to a premises without a warrant (also incorrect as there are certain reasons we can do so). Most of the time when I get abuse I just let it go in one ear and out the other.

Two of my colleagues who recently joined are ex prison service, one was HMP Pentonville and the other from HMP Wandsworth. They both quit the prison service within a year. The pay is terrible and they are suspended and investigated when any force whatsoever is used. I've been to the old Bailey and seen plenty of court staff, half of them appear tired of their job and no doubt paid not much. People say "I don't know how you do that job" to myself but I think the same of those that work in the prison service and in courts, especially the likes of the Serco staff that collect (and handcuff themselves) to arrested persons being transported to court. They are paid literally minimum wage and always look miserable. Having witnessed Serco collecting prisoners from our custody suite on numerous occasions, I always thought it was somewhat dangerous for them to handcuff themselves to a prisoner whilst they escort them to the van in the yard.

IMHO people don't understand what is happening. An innocent person may feel justified to feel aggrieved when being detained and prevented from going about their business. The frustration builds when they are repeatedly told they are being detained. It's a natural response From the officers' position, being told by someone, "It wasn't me, guv" is insufficient reason for the officer let the detained person go on their merry way. Of course that's not how it's going to work. There are so many videos of people getting increasingly frustrated that end up with them getting arrested anyway. Best to do as asked by the officer, and if charged, use your right to remain silent and don't talk to the police, and get a legal advisor. It's a pita but the detention by a police officer is not the time or place to argue the toss. That's what courts are for. Edit: In the video, the officer is trying to explain and he keeps talking over her. Just stfu and listen.

I'm a UK police officer and this is quite common. People "proclaiming" they know the laws better than us. In SOME rare cases this is true, but 99% of the time it isn't. I didn't spend 13 weeks in police training for nothing, plus going through numerous assessments, medicals, and vetting procedures. Police recruitment is one of the longest drawn out recruitment processes anyone will ever go through. People think we need a "Reason" to pull them over, this is incorrect, no reason is required unlike the USA where "probable cause" is required. People also think we cannot force entry to premises without a warrant, this is also incorrect and there are many situations where without warrant we can do so. Some people complain when they have a job interview and they have to wait 1-2 weeks to hear back whether they've got the job. Meanwhile in the police It can take 1-2 years. I applied and wasn't given a "formal offer" for the job until 11.5 months later. I spoke with one chap on my course who had applied 2 years prior and was on the same course as me. I was already security cleared to the same level as I was a serving Special Constable in the same force, but they still had to do all of the checks again and I had to go through the whole process again.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning-Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task. The Dunning-Kruger effect is usually measured by comparing self-assessment with objective performance. For example, participants may take a quiz and estimate their performance afterward, which is then compared to their actual results. The initial study was published by David Dunning and Justin Kruger in 1999. It focused on logical reasoning, grammar, and social skills. Since then other studies have been conducted across a wide range of tasks. They include skills from fields such as business, politics, medicine, driving, aviation, spatial memory, examinations in school, and literacy.

Back in 1981, the police arrested a guy for an illegal number plate and soliciting a prostitute in a place called Sheffield. While waiting for a car to take him to the station, he said he was "bursting for a pee" and they let him relief himself behind a bin or oil tank. The following day, while he was being questioned at the station, the arresting officer had a hunch and went back to the scene and searched the area. He found that when the guy had relieved himself, he had done so of a few items, including a hammer and screwdriver. This was the evidence needed to end a five year killing spree and finally bring the Yorkshire Ripper to justice. So... Can the police prevent someone going to the toilet and giving someone the opportunity to dispose of potential evidence while investigating a crime?

What makes me laugh is the Police have told him there was an assault and that they have a vague description of the suspect and naturally the Police are gonna be super sus of someone doing their best to get away from the scene, because for all they know he or his mate could be the suspect. Buuuut his sheer arrogance blinds him to that fact and he and his friend end up being detained for 20 or so hours. Had they just shut up and done what was asked they'd have been on with their day in no time.

In the UK, people must understand, the policing is by consent of the public, not imposed as in other countries. In the UK you can be arrested and 30 seconds later de-arrested, once the police are satisfied that you are not involved. The general strategy of most UK citizens is to wait until the police are finished.

There’s another issue too. Since they’re tourists, they have no permanent place of residency so if the police were to let them go, there’s no way to find them again if they’re needed. By detaining them until they have further details, they’re securing the crime scene. They also can’t let him use the bathroom because it’s a crime scene. Leaving his DNA at the crime scene would be something a smart person would want to avoid!

When I was growing up the local cop visited the school to let us know our rights and what we could and couldn't do. We would have a laugh with him at the village fair. But we were brought up to go to the cops if we were in trouble and needed help. About 10 years ago I was sitting on the floor waiting for the bus and the cops, who were walking past, ask me if I was okay. I have seen this video before and this guy really annoys me. I was pleased to hear that he was arrested and held for 24 hours. Serves the sanctimonious pratt right. He seems to talk down to the ladies but gives the male more respect. Nowadays I think you need a degree to become the police.

@thefiestaguy8831 4 ай бұрын

As a serving UK officer for the last 7 years, that is currently the case. There are numerous degree based schemes such as PCDA and IPLDP and those schemes utilise a "3 year probationary period" unlike the 2 year probationary period that I had when I joined in 2017. I have numerous officers on my team who are on these university schemes, and in essence it works that they will do a few "sets" (A working "week" usually consisting of 6 days) on team, and then go to university for the next week mon-fri to complete their studies. I'm in the third highest paid force in the country and on "top rate". I earn roughly £55,000 a year before overtime. However when I first joined the pay was only £28,900 a year, not great when you consider the risk you put yourself under. During my career I was subjected to an 18 month long investigation which only concluded recently as a result of a person I dealt with committing suicide. People often complain about police but we're about as accountable as we can be nowadays. Everything we do has to be documented, everything is scrutinised, minor mistakes now get referred to local professional standards unit who then might serve you "misconduct" papers. Policing now is nothing like it was back in the 80's and 90's. Even in the 7 short years I've been in the job it's changed so much for the worse.

Dunning-Kruger effect. This is usually explained from the point of view of someone who knows very little but bare with me and I'll start from the person who does know his facts! Someone who is very well versed in a subject or situation, may think that the things he knows is also known by everyone else, therefore underestimating his own ability! The reverse of this is that someone who has little knowledge, over-estimates his abilities and believes that others are not so knowledgeable, or no-one else has this knowledge! I hope this helps....

So step aside my good man!

19:51 “I’m sorry for THAT American” - well said, it is important to not stereotype people just because of the behaviour of an individual. All countries have their “bad apples”….and probably, at some point in all our lives, we all might be the bad apple to someone else without meaning to be.

They could not detain them for longer than that unless they charged them with an offence. A person can only be held on 'review' for 24 hours.

Around 10:00, he said "Dunning Kruger". The Dunning Kruger effect is basically the tendency for people to incorrectly estimate their knowledge of a subject. People who know a lot about it tend to underestimate their knowledge, whereas (as is relevant in this context) someone with a little bit of knowledge (or even none) thinks they're a full-blown expert.

Even in the US you can legally be held without charge for 48 hours pending investigation. You can cooperate on the street or be held in jail until it's sorted out. I've never understood not cooperating with police if you are innocent. I'd never do this in my own country (Canada) let alone a foreign country. It's just moronic.

The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people with limited competence in a particular domain overestimate their abilities.

@carolineleonard8214 3 ай бұрын

There is an offence in the UK of obstructing a police in the course of their enquiries. The man is being obstructive therefore the officer can easily say please accompany us to the station, to assist with enquiries. If you are obstructive the police will simply take their time, and belive me they can take 24/48 hours of they are "busy". All people can see police body cam footage. US citizens can be arrested and prosecuted as you are a member of the public, it is only those with diplomatic immunity who are exempted, suspicion of involvement is a good enough reason to be detained. If he walked away then they can arrest him and take him to the station, bathroom or not. Arguing with 2 sergeants is never a good strategy because they seriously know the law.

@johnavery3941 3 ай бұрын

Under the UK Data laws protection laws anyone who is filmed by the Police can obtain the footage if they ask for it. Also is Scotland (not sure if it is the same in England) you can be detained for up to 24 hours in an ongoing investigation and if you are not charged you must be released and if you are charged you must go before a Magistrate within 48 hours.

7:44 what he’s talking about there is a data protection subject access request (often called a SAR), which falls under the Data Protection Act 2018 (which amended/superseded GDPR, but the term GDPR is still used). While he’s mostly right - the police, as any organisation, can refuse to provide the information if they can justify why. For example, they are only obliged to provide information pertaining to YOU. however, body cam footage may well include information / footage of other individuals as well. If that can’t be effectively redacted, they can refuse to hand over the footage showing you because they are not allowed to share other people’s info if it could be a risk to them etc. (silly example, imagine if there were someone running around naked in the same footage you were in, and they were shouting personal information). In practice, I understand the police will always try to comply with such requests but it is not a given The body that is tasked with governing these things is the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) and they give a lot of advice and guidance on how to comply with this and on people’s rights etc in their web site. Also - the police are the Data controllers and processors (they probably use sub processors too) - (data handlers which he calls it is not a term used). GDPR/DPA would apply to any UK or EU citizen, so….an American citizen wouldn’t be covered. However I doubt the police would discriminate on that for transparency purposes, but again - they can apply exceptions. The black/white question - I think they are trying to make the point that if only one fits the description, the other should be free to go, but you are right, either or both might still become suspects as the investigation continues so they can both be detained …I think.

@allenwilliams1306 3 ай бұрын

In the UK the police can arrest on suspicion of having committed, or committing, or intending to commit, an arrestable offence: it doesn't have to be a reasonable suspicion, just a suspicion genuinely held. It you are detained, like this bloke, pending immediate investigations as to the status quo, if you attempt to leave that detention, you will be arrested, because doing so arouses genuine suspicion in the police officer concerned. You have no basis for complaint, even if you are subsequently demonstrated not to have committed any offence, because the arrest was legal.

The Dunning-Kruger effect illustrates how a person’s confidence in their knowledge can fluctuate. Initially, when someone is highly ignorant, their confidence tends to be high. However, as they acquire more knowledge, they realize there is much more to learn, leading to a decrease in confidence. Interestingly, once they surpass a certain threshold of understanding, their confidence shoots up again.

@thefiestaguy8831 4 ай бұрын

That's a bit of a moot point. As a UK officer myself shooting someone in a situation like this would be hugely unjustified and would result in the officer being convicted of murder, dismissed from their job and of course imprisoned. Most British police officers (including myself) don't want to be armed. We don't feel that there is enough protection in law, everything we do is scrutinised and even very minor mistakes that don't result in any injury can be referred to our local professional standards unit to decide whether we then face "misconduct" proceedings, which has extreme added stress. I spent 18 months under investigation worried that I'd lose my job after 7 years in the job, simply because someone I had dealt with previously decided to take their own life. Sound fair to you?

The Dunning-Kruger effect occurs when a person's lack of knowledge and skill in a certain area causes them to overestimate their own competence. By contrast, this effect also drives those who excel in a given area to think the task is simple for everyone, leading them to underestimate their abilities.
