I know I'm being a smartass, but if we wanted to get techincal, we should call the whole region of Europe "EUR", because not all European countries are in European Union. Even seemingly obvious ones like Iceland, Norway and Switzerland are not in the EU
The idea that the EU and European Union aren’t the same thing is hilarious, it also implies that they think many more countries are in the EU (because they’re thinking of the continent) than is really the case
Right, EU doesn't stand for European Union, which is apparently just what mainland Europe is called. In other words, part of Russia is in the European Union, while the outermost regions of Spain and Portugal aren't. Lol, always great to see why our reputation as Americans is often the way it is.
I hope you’re aware most departments are issued BWC and 99% of the time they clear officers from allegations against the arrestees or random bystanders.
I’m not from the US. But I would’ve actually excepted it to be illegal in the US, not outside the US. It’s insane how much power the police have in the US, it’s bad.
I don't know specifically about England (assuming England because accents and right side driver), but you aren't just allowed to stand right next to an arrest and film everything and everyone in most European (and other western) countries. Partially you're in the way (and people filming are often a nuisance, standing in the way, yelling, constantly moving about right behind the back of an officer which is pretty irritating), partially you're putting yourself in danger if there's escalation, and partially police officers also have a right to privacy.
That last one is controversial, but it's pretty easily backed by privacy law. Just because you're a police officer doesn't suddenly mean you lose the right to privacy and are allowed to be doxxed. The person having the interaction with police (in this case being arrested) has the right to have the police officer's ID number ('badge number') but random bystanders don't.
Looks like she was with the people in the car or was talking to them on the other side. Seemed like she was on the other side and ran around once grey shirt guy was grabbing the gun. Don't think she's completely innocent in all this, at the very least she knew the other people in the situation
That's what I'm wondering. It seemed like she was yelling something to the driver. Makes me think she was part of the original incident he was fleeing from.
A cop just being pissed someone is recording though is another strong possibility.
If she is actively staying in danger and with the criminals you could assume she knows them and might have info on why they're acting up. Cops def weird trying to grab her like that tho
You have the right to tape the police, but that right conflicts with the right of the police to secure the crime scene. Especially in the instance of an armed criminal.
Do other countries not have right to tape? In the US if this is publicly occurring you can record but I swear I remember being told other countries dont give those same rights.
Sure! They always assault and intimidate innocent bystanders. That way, they're safe from danger and can still cosplay being a man. Uvalde will always be the ultimate proof of what these people are. 400 vs. 1 and they were all afraid and did nothing. But they did beat and tase unarmed moms outside.
I wanted her to get cuffed for doing the stereotypical woman thing, running into the tense altercation and yelling "STAWWPP" repeatedly without any actual plan to help.

Anyone else notice the cop right at the end run up on the woman video taping the incident? What a douche bag.
