    There are very, very few guys like Focus Pocus that can hold diplomacy enough to engage with the police, to do what he wants to do, without getting arrested. Hat off to you, sir.

If he is a tax payer then he is even more stupid then being credited for. There is a thing called communication where he could have asked to film and avoided all this.

    I still come back to these videos, because the reason why you are the only auditor not to have been arrested is because you are sharp enough under pressure . Reminding them your rights and the law rather than arguing with them keeps the temper down and seems to pay off well.

    There are no powers prohibiting the taking of photographs, film or digital
    images in a public place. Therefore members of the public and press should not
    be prevented from doing so. I seek your
    support in reminding your officers and staff that they should not prevent anyone from
    taking photographs in public. Unnecessarily restricting photography, whether for the casual tourist or
    professional is unacceptable and it undermines public confidence in the police
    service. Once an image has been recorded, the police have no power to delete or
    confiscate it without a court order. Andrew Trotter OBE QPM BSc (Hons), Chief Constable

    I like the way you talk when approached- keeping calm and not answering personal questions. Some auditors explain too much but l like you saying it’s for recreation. That’s more than enough reason to do what you do. The cops are paranoid “in this day and age”. Keep up the good work and stay safe! Subbed.

    Funny thing happened to me one time some years ago. Where I live, in Northern Ireland, now read that again - in NORTHERN IRELAND - I wanted to take some photos of a new station that had been built in my local town.
    So one fine evening I raced round after work with my camera, and started taking photos. A few minutes later the security gate swung open, and out came the sergeant. Thinking to myself, "hello, this should be good", he came over with a big smile on his face and asked if I would be interested in seeing inside the building. It was a new station, with a structure designed to direct bomb blasts away from those inside, indeed ninety percent of it was underground.
    So he took me round the whole building, letting me snap away at anything I fancied, and when I was finished we shook hands and off I went.
    I would be surprised if he knew me, I certainly didn't know him, but I found him nothing but polite and helpful at all times, and again, this was in Northern Ireland.
    I wonder if that could happen here, why it can't happen elsewhere..?

      In 1919, a riotous mob of 400 Canadian soldiers laid siege to Epsom Police Station, and, the Station Sergeant, Thomas Green, was killed. He is buried in the cemetery, in Ashley Road, near Epsom Downs. For details, see:- en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epsom_Riot

      Well by that logic you have to concede that anything can happen, at any time, anywhere, so explain why the people in cars aren't stopped driving past police stations, and pedestrians, dog walkers, pram pushers ... surely they could be terrorists because "it can happen".

    "I don't know who you are"
    Over and over again.
    "Why are you doing it?"
    Tells them why.
    "Why are you doing it?"
    Tells them why.
    "Why are you doing it? I don't know why you're doing it?"
    Tells them why.
    Eventually it's obvious that they don't actually mean that, what they mean is "I don't like you doing it so I'm going to punish you for doing it."
    And they do punish people. Often. Every day.

    I don't personally encourage this auditing activity, because it has the potential to land you in undeserved hot water. However, unlike so many other auditors, you're never aggressive or intimidating and you take the time to explain why you're there - to do an audit to evaluate the police's knowledge on public photography. I think the copper aided the smooth flow of the encounter too as he did seem aware of photog rights and he could clearly ascertain you weren't a threat. Well done!
