As you say , AB, attitudes are changing . It's less entertaining, but you (and other auditors) have done a brilliant job making police think a bit before they act. In a way we want you to become redundant but at the same time we might miss the drama and seeing bully boys (and girls) put to shame. It's a classic catch22!

If you dont want your car to be seen in public then leave your car at home, in the garage.

The police guy asking for details wanted to get away quick from you when you would not provide any.

Abuse of power by the Police, glad you're educating the police and general public. Police need to be more responsible.

“I’m aware of what you are doing…..but what are you doing?” How absurd.

''How can the police improve?'', how about stop going after none crime hate crimes for a start.

It doesn't matter if plods are transparent or not, because we will always be able to see right through them.

Love when officers get their note pad out while asking for details, like AB is going to give them over. Sadly citizens normally hand them over without question.

Their attitude changed very rapidly once they found out they have come up against someone who knows their rights for a change. That was some serious backtracking. You absolutely schooled them. They were so eager to getaway.

The only security risk is their paranoia and the risk is to the public

The cops are always concerned what the public can do to them.....but never realise that the cops have been doing far more to the public for many, many years!!

Yo! AB!! Those coppers were ok. At least one of them was willing to be educated. I first watched your videos, when your channel was under 100 subscribers and the change you have made to how police react to auditors has been outstanding. Shame you had to sacrifice your liberty at times, but we commend and value your efforts, it has not been in vain. But while there are dodgy coppers out there, there is still change needed. Peace and love man!!

Still churning out the same garbage about not filming Police private vehicles. Unfortunately the general public don't like being filmed by the Police when going about their everyday lives, but we have no option but to put up with it and if you attempt to avoid, you're pulled over, interrogated and made to feel like a criminal. As for it being a security risk, I would expect anyone finding the need to follow a police office home would do the activity far more discreetly and over several days, weeks, months. As an ex-bank employee, we were taught basic self-security and counter-reconissance techniques (something that is now no longer taught to staff), maybe the police personnel may need similar? I suspect they are too busy bigging up their over-inflated egos to have any concept of real-life security though.

I find it hard to believe they don't know why people dislike the police

He said that if they didn’t question photographers they wouldn’t do their job properly. I’m sure all the victims of unsolved violent crimes are grateful for them spending their time on so important matters.

"Are you the famous AB? I'm a subscriber". Brilliant. I'm really delighted to hear that Policeman say that they fear for their personal security.

Your quickly becoming one of my favorite auditors. You have a great style.. very funny and educational. Thank you for the content! -Fan from Chicago

If he was so "fully aware" he would have notified you he had started filming. Good work AB!

Does this clown really not understand why the public hates them?

They still passive aggressive threatening behaviour even when they are trying to be fully tolerant. - Pulls out notepad stares at you for details, leading the witness. - Casually throws in section 50 as a veiled threat of what he could do if he wanted. - Makes it clear he knows what you are doing and no threat and insinuates he treats you better than random public/is allowing you to continue. - Fails to follow code of conduct with camera(not forgetful as you can see when turned it on). - Insinuation that a lawful activity can cause harm(following private cars home), making it your fault. The level of smugness and insistence of needless "advice" for social dominance on display shows we still have a long way to go.

What a gorgeous cat. So chilled. That brother looks after it very well, you can tell.

Glad you pointed out that the shooting in the police station was due to them not properly searching a suspect. It's completely unrelated to what you're doing and is the only thing he could think of to justify the questions.

He's got better things to do, like go home and watch Auditing Britain videos on KZfaq. 😂

A good audit, a good response, a good job all round. I actually like these positive encounters and I am happy they are becoming more and more frequent. I've had some really horrific encounters with police that caused me years of ptsd which started out when I was a young child, it's good to see things improving which is a testament to auditors such as yourself AB, big up brother...

If there was no camera they would get personal (as they always do) and twist you up for even arguing your (correct) point. Why can't they just get it right. It's scary. Great video man 👍

All we want is the police to act within the law and police the law not feelings.

He was so confident, with the Notebook and pen out that he was going to get details lol. Unlucky.

🤣🤣🤣i neary spat out my coffee when that cop said some people dont like the police and thats from the met who are in special measures!!!!

Police officers used to be respected members of the community. Now they are frightened of their neighbours finding out what job they have.

The main problem with Police is most don't know the law!

A great opportunity to remind them of why they are hated, as if they don’t know. Police abusing power and using threats to get their own childish way. Nice enough lads, but….

KZfaq STARS! The guy on the bike AB Fan Club! So funny - Great interaction with the 2 PCs and educating them along the way! Good Work, AB - Stay Safe!

AB you are a legend, you are literally changing policing, please dont stop, there is still a lot of uneducated police out there

Baldy said that he was aware that you knew your rights and was quite polite, wonder if he would have been the same if he thought you didn't know your rights?

There are security concerns through a see through fence? Dear Officer Beard, you don't need a camera to see your precious "personal registration plates"

Great audit. It highlights the progress that’s been made in photography and privacy rights of the general public with a lot of that down to how auditors have raised awareness of the issue, and taken some power back 👍

You have and are still making a difference AB. We the people, still need you to keep them on their toes.

Even when they know they're being audited they can't do the right things. And then are desperate for validation at the end. If you don't know if you did a good job or not then you clearly don't know how to do the job properly. Desperate for a gold star and a pat on the back. Ffs just do your job and understand the boundaries of your "authority" in a given situation.

Section 50 use an implied threat. Everything you just said about abusing powers and being superior to the public and it wasn’t long before they indicated that they could use that power. Big fail.

"Why don't you always like all police?" Breaking even small police rules such as unadvised body cam use, indicates the likelihood of police breaking larger rules when they want.

Phew. Was watching this with my son and when you spotted the hole in the fence I was like here we go. Gladly you looked through it and didn't do what I was thinking you was going to do. 😆 🤣 😆

The spikes on the perimeter fence look like they're from some type of medieval torture device. ☠

We need a FOIR on how many Police are followed home. I think he is full of BS. Sarah was walking home.

Bearded plod " shall we leave it there then ?" He knew baldy plod was digging himself deeper and deeper in the mire 😂😂 well done AB

Burglary’s at a 5% conviction rate.

The fact that police employees are seeking out your content is very positive. Frankly, if I was a commissioner in the police, I would be telling everyone to seek out and watch this stuff.

Your work is making an impact, AB. Keep going. 👍💪

Straight away with trying to get your ID. It's partly to intimidate you. Great recording. I do hope the family of these officers see these videos. They can see just what their friend/uncle/dad/son is like. It would go a long way to remove the idea that these officers are in any way protecting the public.

Well done AB,i think by doing these audits that a change will happen,not overnight ,but i see a little improvement.Well done.

I'm sick and tired of the rozzers bleating and crying about their private vehicles being recorded. They have no extra rights or privileges over any other person/vehicle in the UK. It's just an excuse to "stop and chat" with a person that otherwise is obviously NOT breaking any laws. Those two stopped you and then were stuck for something stop you for, and if anything it was them that breached policy for not telling you they were recording. It took them over 10 minutes to achieve nothing. What a waste of time.

AB said the key word Transparency. The police idea of that is for the public to look through very dark glasses. Where is the transparency in police misconduct when they remain suspended on full pay for up to 2 years. Then the hearings are conducted behind CLOSED doors and the outcome is not published. As far as number plates are concerned keep their cars at home and get on their bikes. I used to bike 20 miles back and forth each day to work and it kept me healthy. Everything they say is for their security never a word mentioned about the publics security. One thing you will ever get is a straight answer from a police person (I refuse to call then officer as we are all supposed to be equal under the eyes of the law) as they do the governments bidding. You never get a straight answer from a politician either. Must be trained in the same place. Take a leaf from the polices own book question question question and NEVER answer theirs. If you are doing everything lawfully the there is absolutely NO reason for them to come for a chat or sticking their noses in. Great work AB looks like your back supercharged from your hols.

For a copper who claims to know a lot, he sure says “I don’t know” a lot… and then asks AB to explain things he claims to be true stating “don’t you agree”. An expert on implication and mincing words and backpedaling when called on it. Quite the drama Queens they are!

A copper walks up to you thinking I’m in charge, you will obey me, if you don’t, then I will break the law to make you. I will lie and call up an armed gang to make you obey me, even if you have done nothing wrong. That’s it in a nutshell!

Another great audit and it's good to see the police are starting to learn but they still have a way to go please keep up the great work reporting on police overstepping their authority.

They didn’t just “talk” or “make conversation” within 60 seconds they were asking for personal details they have no right to access. Message to the bald on, you might to work on NOT laughing and smiling when someone brings up police abusing their powers…

When you challenged officer Smith asking for your details the other officer mentioned section 50. Of course he has used it to obtain details. I would have finished off by advising officer smith that when he asked for your details he should have told you that you are not obliged to give it. So why did he not tell you. Failed big time.

12:00 THEY HAVE NO IDEA why auditors audit, they think it's to get views - WE HAVE MUCH WORK TO DO, this is going to take decades

The bald police officer saying "section 50 is something some would use" after agreeing with AB that section 50 wouldn't be applicable to their interaction emphases the importance of AB's work. Nice video as always 💪🏿

Private lives? First thing they wanted was AB’s who are you, what’s your date of birth. Police are pointed in the wrong direction!

Keep up the good work AB 👏 🙌 👍 thanks to you, us regular people can act more freely

I had a Black CB125F just like that, till I passed my test. Another great video AB.

No matter how friendly a copper sounds, he or she is only speaking to you for two things . To stitch you up and get thier quota up.

Back in the 70s police were clean shaven and dressed smart how the standards have dropped now

This video was multi layered, really enjoyed it!! Great work AB ✊

Ah AB the way you switched the section 50 on him lol his face went red straight away 😂🤣😅

The great transformation from 2 years till now is remarkable; and this achievement is done by you guys (the auditors). Well done and keep it up.

Officer with the glasses couldn't get away quick enough towards the end, you were right to mention to their face that two years ago you would have been in handcuffs because neither would have stopped the other from doing anything wrong or acting unlawfully

Great video AB! Still never fail to disappoint!

The thing is, for someone like you AB who does know their rights, they police will say, “you look like you know your stuff” but for someone who doesn’t, they will use anything to detain you, it’s happened to me, like, I wouldn’t know would section 50 is so if they used it on me, I would have to give in. It’s a shame they abuse powers, they’re always trying to scare / threaten you unless you have called for help, it is a very stressful world.

AB is too famous and everyone knows who he is......

Cops……a special breed of anxious persons.

great stuff as per usual AB was thinking in the future if they ask you about impressions of the cops maybe take them to task over the new policy of thought policing and feelings policing online comments.

Got killed in a police station because they didn’t do their job correctly and search the dude

The police have caught on but not all and they'll forget. It'd be nice to do other content but don't forget the police because they'll forget too.♥️

They knew the infamous AB outside but they still sent tweedle Dee and tweedle dum out to deal with it 😂

Top Class from that biker. smart man to go and pre warn the cops to play cool and know any interactions will be viewed by hundreds of thousands. People begin to act different. . a wins a win. Well done AB

The bald "officer" wasn't a nice man, he played the transparent guy, but in reality he is a creep, as the first thing he said about what he could do was his beloved article 50, which shows his real personality, he also only said that he was filming the encounter was when AB asked him about it, not a good example of a policeman that is trustworthy.

do you truly think by calling the policy enforcers in a direct conflict situation will help you? No! it will not. Defend yourself at all levels, these idiots are there for the corporations now, not the public. To serve and protect corporations! That is all they do now. They actually assisted 2 men from a greedy tyrannical corporation to assault me at work and i got sacked from the job, I was calm and very passive, these idiots got me sacked. I have nothing but disdain for them all now, the lot of them.

The first guy just wanted to be in one of your vids, number one fan!!! 😂

Interesting interaction. You are the auditing king so the fact that these officers has had the memo is down to you. Well done and thank you. But there is still a way to go. Why did I get the feeling that if only you didn’t have a camera they would be throwing you into a cell or worse!

AB next time cops are doing their copspalining and babbling on about private registrations, please ask "How and what exactly do they think that a typical member of the public would do with a number plate? The only thugs that have easy access are the DVLA and police, everyone else has many loops to jump through and has to pay. Following someone is one thing that can be done from anywhere outside the station and how do you miraculously match the pork rind to the wheels? and IF it was true there would be a case made which you could do a FOIA request for and 99% sure you will find they LYING AGAIN!

When I first saw an AB video I have to admit I thought he was a trouble maker, and I actually got angry enough to leave a harsh comment regarding his actions. However I have since changed my mind completely. I "get it" now, and fully respect what AB is actually doing. I hadn't realised how much the police overstep their powers and take advantage of them because most of the general public do not understand the laws and their rights. Obviously not all police will abuse their powers. AB and others like him probably are making a difference now, with the great help of KZfaq of course. I AM A BIG FAN NOW. I find you very very funny and see you are a generous guy too.

Thanks AB you are slowly educating them!

Again, if police know that you have the right to record in public, then why do they need to make you feel like a criminal for exercising that right, interrogating you, asking for your details, etc.?

I have to be honest ab, these cops get a 7/10. They failed on telling you they were recording and the mention of section 50 was unnecessary but they did ask what they could do to improve their service. It may likely be for the cameras benefit but they were, as you say, far more engaging positively than they would of been 2 yrs ago. And that is massively thanks to auditors. Well done ab, there are hundreds of auditors now but you paved the way in the beginning.

Copsplaining. One got his note book out as pressure tactic to get details and the other didn’t inform AB that he was recording. This is exactly why the police need to further improve with these interactions with the public.

That fence with the razor top is to keep the cops in, not the public out. They are dangerous when let out without their keepers.

*EVERY COP IN THE UK KNOWS SECTION 50 INSIDE OUT UPSIDE DOWN AND BACKWARDS ITS THE ONLY SECTIOIN ACTUALLY TAUGHT TO THEM* like AB said it gives them the powers to abuse your rights and hem you up section 50 should be abolished!

Wow i never knew a camera could breach their security. Well its not secure then is it

YOOOooo AB.” You sound like AB, I’m a subscriber “! Absolute classic!! You would have thought the police that came out to talk to you would have done everything correctly ie telling you that they were filming!

You're the man AB. Keep em to task brother.

8:22 Why is the little one repeating everything. Cracks me up 🤣🤣

Great to see you out there doing your thing , section 50, give me a break 🤦. I love it when their notepad goes back unwritten on 😁✌️

🚔 🚓 👮‍♂️ 🚨 Lot of people have it out for police,can't understand why🤔

Police love their privacy, while wanting your private details,

Thank you for what you are doing. Following from Central California

What the police need to do is redevelop their approach from the ground up. They have to recognise that while they have certain powers, those powers are there for a specific reason, e.g. to take into custody a violent individual on the streets. Other than that, they should just be a presence on the street in uniform so people know their role. If they are approached, they should assume the best in people, help members of the public if they can, politely decline if they cannot. No different to if they were approached for help if they were not in the police. The biggest issue is attitude - they are on the defensive the whole time, and a lot of them use attack as the first line of defence. My grandad was in the Met in the 40's. I used to be proud to say that, but ever since Stephen Lawrence's murder and how it was handled, I've been quiet about it. Funny that.

2yrs ago i’d sure be waiting for u to get handcuffed but now i’m just watching police respecting ur presence.. gud job AB!! 😅👍🏼

Why are they so obsessed with their number plates? Do they think no one in their street or village now they are plod? They put on the clown suit and the circus begins. Bring your own balloons.

That guy on bike just reminded my that with the rain expected soon I need to get my lawnmower fixed, grass will be growing back.
