Fake policeman?

[NH1]

Real or not, what a complete bellend.

edit, bit of choice language in it.

What exactly does the guy doing the filming do, what's the purpose of him filming and what was he filming?

[carinaman]

He has a beard and a camera. The Terrorist is obvious Terrorist.

[randlemarcus]

I suspect he was filming the wildly exciting scenes of real live actors having a fag between takes.

There's an update that seems to suggest that the police are taking it seriously. Ha!

It would have been worth keeping the height restrictions just to weed out those suffering from:

Presumably an off-duty cop doing a bit of private work. Bit naughty wearing a police t-shirt then? And does that explain why he wouldn't show his badge?

Very strange behaviour, both of them.

Some of his quotes

"I consider myself a bit of a run-and-gun director"

"This is one of the most violent attacks I’ve encountered in Britain"

“It’s a serious crime and I want justice to be served.

“In three-and-a-half years doing this in London I was arrested 14 times but I never have in Manchester, so I have a lot of respect for Greater Manchester Police.”

Is that in relation to the OP's video?!
If so, maybe he should visit his local pub on a Saturday night. Might be a bit of an eye opener for him.

The IRA did bomb Manchester. This bloke having an American accent means he could have attended a St Patrick's Day Parade and piss up once. You can never be too careful. After all one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

I bet he's broken a speed limit once as well!

He was filming in a public space, perfectly legally. If the guy threatening him is a police officer, he would seem to have no grounds to threaten arrest and/or ask him to stop filming.

If he isn't a police officer, he might be in trouble for impersonating a police officer.

Charlie Veitch does things like this precisely because people act the way this guy acts. If everyone chilled out and realised they have no right to privacy in public, he would run out of material and stop posting such videos.

Don't think anyone here has suggested that.

No, they haven't.
Although reading the linked article I can see now what his motives are, and why he acts the way he does.

what is strange is yet again, the police don't know the law

Except it's still not confirmed he is a policeman. If anything, the two uniformed police who turn up at the end of the clip let the guy crack on. So if anything, I'd say the police in the video do know the law.

You're not sounding sure there Mk3Spitfire. But it's OK as it's only the Internet and not a Court of Law.
