His name is Reg Walker. He is a police informant.

Why were the police riding around in the thugs car? I know large events have to pay for police presence, but that is to enforce the law, not to act as henchmen for the organisers. Conspiracy to commit a crime is an offence isn't it?

HNK Solicitors, give them a call mate. No one is above the law, including the police officers. Top marks on staying calm, pity I can’t say the same for the others. Getting attacked at the end was atrocious behavior. Please don’t let them think they can get away with it. Superb drone flight at the end, thanks for auditing. 👍

HNK... easy money.... misinformed you about the no fly zone, harassment, intimidation, assault, excessive force and a breach of the SIA licence not being on display... Probably £3000 ISH. Good luck.

Very serious assault, - sustained and relentless - compensation and aggravated / exemplary damages on your way.

Why weren’t other members of the public told to leave the leisure centre or whatever it was? They just can’t say one person is trespassing when others are not, given that the festival hadn’t even started. I’m by no means a legal expert, but towards the end it appears the driver of the Range Rover kicks/trips you causing you to fall and damage your equipment. If so, that is criminal damage, he also goes on to physically assault you. The guy in the denim jacket, (Phil) is acting as security and following orders from the guy who assaults you. At no point does he have an SIA badge on display, that’s a custodial sentence right there. If I were you I would be looking to pursue this matter through legal channels; assault, criminal damage, also reporting the two cops for lying to you in regards to the no fly zone. Time to involve a solicitor imo.

The 1st guy that spoke & followed u had a Antifa t-shirt under his denim jacket

Bloke with long beard and anti fascist t.shirt......being a fascist.... amazing

You should get in touch with Marti or News Now Yorkshire, they will put you on the right track to suing them.

Tries to use GDPR to avoid being shown committing assault. That guy should be in jail.

What I have just witnessed is a complete violation of civil rights - I say sue the organisers - you have more than enough visual evidence to prove harassment and actual bodily harm

Does this Bully not realise this is all on camera?! I hope you take this assault further, absolutely no need for it!

Is that bearded guy wearing an antifa t shirt? If so tells you everything.

Attacked and strangled. Thumbs up Reading Security. Pay rise and all inclusive free luxury holiday

Disgusting behaviour from a top security official. Couldn't believe what I was watching. That guy is 100% going down after that GMBH and assault. Compensation should be an avenue to go down for sure. Hope you are ok mate! Stay safe The Premier League Predictor

You need to sue these jobsworths because there’s no excuse for assaulting anyone. They don’t have any authority to lay hands on anyone. I hope they all loose there jobs.

He feels untouchable now he has some inspector mates. Don’t let him get away with it

Although this was 'caught on camera' I suspect it may not lead to anything as it reminds me of the Power To The Proletariat (PTTP) JobCentre video where he was attacked under similar circumstances and they did nothing - and the facility manager is still employed at the public expense. Outrageous.

LOL the DPA act does not allow anyone to demand anything. Even if you were a company, you would have a "legitimate interest" in filming anyone and anything you want. Data subjects can only request a copy of their data and request it is destroyed. A Data Controller can keep it if, as in this case, it may be required for legal proceedings.

Please make an official complaint about what happened to you.

when the police don't protect you after an assault ,that just leads to people to take justice into their own hands .

Security are the same the world over, thugs with low IQs, could not make it in the police force, stay safe retired lifeboatman ,

Cameraman got sent to heaven by the end.

the inspector is a 🤡 🙃

Bully boys need to be taught a lesson, I'll volunteer.

I see a law suit coming on,sue these harassing foul human beings

Look up Tom Clements. I'm a Production mgr, and having none of that. He owns said company, and call the old bill. That's assult. Threat to life, and nickable offence. Tom would not stand for that either.

The sound of you crying on the floor was hilarious

Muppet security guards thinking they have powers Physical assault marching you off public property can’t say I would have reacted the same way as you lad manhandling me off public land wouldn’t have gone that way.

2:30 Watch that guy on the left, the body language is all about suppressing his desire to do something physical. He's swinging his hands to control his emotions.

So what happened in the end? Were the security guards allowed to get away with Thier assaults????

What security company is rhis

This guy seems like he was just out to find trouble. It’s a festival, just fly your drone somewhere else

wtf that company needs prosecuted and phoned down

Security are very simple folk, if you run they will chase you down. It’s an animalistic instinct. At some point they’ll completely forget why they’re chasing you. Like it doesn’t matter anymore.

That security guy couldn't run more than 5ft. They and the police were utter bellends.

I know it's too late for this incident but the best response I've heard about police officers trying to enforce a company's policy is Ken Livingston at Westfield where he tells the coppers they don't work for Westfield and have zero rights to try to enforce Westfield policy. It's definitely worth watching and quoting.

It's always those wearing the "anti-fascist" shirts that behave the most authoritarian

Why have the plods got yellow shoulder numbers?

At 1st i thought you was going to keep running rings around him to tire him out ,would have been funny.But when he put his hands on you it became a diffnt matter all together .And you had every right to defend yourself .

Please identify the name of the security company so mass complaints can be made to the SIA

OMG a man with a drone and a camera. Let infringe on his rights and assault him. Idiots mate

So what happened in the end? Were the security guards allowed to get away with their assaults????

How is someone with such serious criminal convictions able to get an SIA license? Why are two uniformed Police Officers being driven around by someone with such serious criminal convictions?

I cant believe what i just witnessed, i hope you take this as far as you can.

100% Assault.

The bloke with the beard has totally no authority to tell you and you at are in a public space and need to take all involved including the police officers for accessory to a crime to the high court for assault and battery and using excessive force and sue his company put a claim in for no less them £2 million. That will make the company think about the thugs there employ.

U must b due a claim out of that

So what are you going to do about it to ensure he doesn't get away with it?

that is absolutely outrageous.............clear case of criminal assault

Might be wrong, but that NOTAM just looks like a warning anyway. It's not a no fly zone or a temporary restriction zone.

So what are you doing about this ?

5:55 The speed at which the security guy is driving is excessive considering the number of people around. Dangerous driving.

What the hell are they doing assaulting the public

Chases him down the road while attacking him and accusing him of assault. Makes sense… also asked him to leave then 0.5 seconds later decided it was aggravated trespass.

What a terrible advertisement for the police force. Riding shotgun in the car of thugs like the cowboys they are. Did you notice the significantly different attitude from those not there to intimidate? They were informative and polite. Big fat bullies, who likes them?

How comes you didnt show them that the no fly zone wasnt active? I hope you manage to hold the security guy to account.

But why is he wandering around Reading festival with no ticket filming shit? Just why? Think he was looking for trouble and he found it.

First two guys were real diamonds. Polite, friendly, genuinely looking out for your wellbeing, and overall pretty chill. Kudos to them! 😁

Wow, that was truly shocking! Have you heard anything from the police? Hope you can recoup the cost of your drone and recording equipment from them.

not good mate🙃nice drone footage and keep your chin up👊

You captured it all, well done. I got got to laugh with the ran around and '' pass the ball'' comment.

8:30 - this 🤡 should be the new thumbnail for smug **** !

Was it the Thursday you went? I’ll make sure to go and find him next year. Be interesting to see if Leeds festival gives you the same reaction next year.

I'm sorry but where was this security when my tent was burned to the ground?

They should be cleaning up the site after all the trash was left everywhere by the revellers.

Get spray there is one which is legal to use in uk Don't let the assault go, the sociopath is dangerous

Wow! The editing from 13:45 hearing you choking (potentially to death) and the lovely over head landscape shots with the lovely music finished me didn’t know whether to laugh or cry!!! Sue them mate xx

What have they got to hide? Big fuss to stop someone filming people going to a festival. Hardly top secret stuff is it? Just an opportunity to throw their weight around; literally!

Them in that jeep looks like thug drug dealers and are definitely trying to intimidate you. Hope you took this further

Thugs on the payroll. The guy in denim jacket had antifa t-shirt on, yet gets to witness real facism and is happy with that. Get them nicked, and sue. Great drone footage by the way

Is one of ZZ Top doing part time work . Before going on. The one with glass looks like Green grass off heartbeat.

Hope their families are proud of them. This is bullying . Shameful. Bullying obviously gets him hard.... Lighten up, understanding , a smile and a joke is the right way to do things. Love and peace.

The ban on drones is from 25-30th. When did you film? However the staff should all have had SIA licences ON DiSPLAY I wasn’t aware that the tow path alongside the river was used by the festival, there used to be a very old railing

Just seen the end of the video and I am gobsmacked! I hope you sue the absolute arse off Reading Festival for employing such thugs to secure their event!

Get your sweaty belly off of me hahahaha

Why you doing this ?

Reading festival employing cheap unprofessional security. Ive even heard tyres were burning at night. What tragic stain on the Reading festival

I don't know why I am only just seeing this video as an avid Auditor viewer. Got to say you absolutely destroyed Ranger Rover crew. The way you handled the police and the security when they came over in their big 4x4 was medal worthy!

I can see that when they first approached you and fat boy started to push you that you saw a quicker way out but we're mistaken and they then attacked you and had to run. Shameful. Legal action?

"Thats the footpath over there..." The appropriate answer would have been to ask where the road for his 4x4 was. I'd have dropped whatever I was carrying and defended myself -clearly assault, no signs or cordened off area "part of the event space" means nothing. None of those 3 should be SIA approved. The PCSO and Cop were clearly lieing about the drone law. I find it odd they threatened arrest but then didn't want to be known for threatening arrest... I would be making a complaint regards the cops (which will be ignored, but still), and I would sue the festival company for the repeated acts of violence against you be the security staff. Duplicate the complaint to the SIA.

No such thing as a non drone zone. Not unless it's enforced by a NOTAM and other notices by the CAA. But a drone can't fly over the festival since it will have crowds. That doesn't mean a drone can't fly over areas where there aren't crowds of people.

@Auditing England. I used to work for Specialized Security in the 2000's. At Reading Festival they (I don't know about know) were pretty much the police, to see a copper in one of their cars was a thing, not a common one. Every time I heard about a security' going to a local court nothing hapend. At Reading the police compound used to be next to our main compound.

Police seem to be working as private security

i sincerely hope you sue

Why didn't the Corporation police not do anything to mister tubby, to stop assault. Get in touch with the council and his company, the sue the fat arse off him, make him destitute. He has plenty of fat to live on.

Take them to the cleaners with a claim. Got them bang to rights!

7:40 He does not have any right under any act to ask for the video of him to be tampered with in any way. He just made an absolute fool of himself. And the public should know that he is a dangerous individual who thinks he is above the law and can make up his own laws to suit his opinions.

Part 2 coming?

As a newly registred SIA security guard, stuff like this is pure cringe. Let the man fly the fucking drone and get his shots, he's not comitting acts of terrorism, fuck me.

He needs to go in prison so the public can be safe to walk around in peace...

Why are you trying to fly the drone? That's just provocative, and you can't fly it over people. Just be discrete, there's no need to walk around brandishing a drone in plain sight. Pointless video.

Excellent work Auditing England - great effort and sorry it ended in disaster ! 😞

I would of used self defence against all 3 of them

Yep, straight to solicitors for this. I wouldn't go for anything small. £10k would suffice for the chasing, the harassment, the threats, the actual physical assault, the fear you felt, etc. As for the police, they didn't do anything really bad, just wrongly stated the law so only a complaint against them.

I enjoyed watching you get thrown off site. Love watching these auditors get what’s coming to them.

no flight restrictions in place. though a police drone could be airborne it doesn't make it an offence to have yours up.

Holly shit, they shouldn't be allowed to get away with that, please tell me you are going sue them ?

Probably explains why Reading festival decented into chaos with fights and tents being burned , the security thugs probably went too far with the festival goers also

i do have to say this is quite funny when he followed you in his car and said to delete the video lol what a bunch of idiots glad you posted it on here
