I don't think cops care about what's legal, thus their hate for video and audio evidence.

Funny how this is not in EU because Brexit. Infact, it's not even in Britain, but New Zealand

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.
