Thanks for posting that Ian, quite interesting. Especially loved the PCSO's counter arguments.

Hmmm bit naff, bit Michael Buerke but hey, clearly they didnt have a clue what they were doing. I dont know why when asked 'why are you doing that?' people dont just respond 'because I want to'. And 'show me your ID'? Hello? I didnt know we'd got there yet...

The PCSO`s should be worried as their faces and badge numbers are their in plain site for us all to see, and they could be in deep p**h if the camera man decides to proceed further.Were my eyes playing me up or did the elderly PCSO at the end say F off?

It would be interesting to hear the Chief Constable explain that little public relations disaster - or a 'police are only doing their job' apologist ...

FFS!!! More jumped up little tyrants throwing their weight around because they have a uniform.

It is quite funny that when challenged with the truth of the matter he quickly reaches the boundary of his knowledge and authority and all he can come out with is 'shut up'. Really scary.

The words rank and amateur spring to mind with these two. Clearly the Chinese office was not even born in this country given the depth of his accent and poor command of English.

It must have come as quite a shock to them when their uniforms failed to intimidate the cameraman.

Also interesting is that he said "You are not a tourist!" How does he define a tourist?

And he's no longer a member of Indonesia's KOPKAMTIB... Or maybe he'd just forgotten, initially, then it dawned on him that he ought to 'Shut up!'...

Isnt a tourist someone from outside the area, not neccesarily from another country?

Doesn't have to be from out of the area even. I lived in Victoria for 2 and a half years. Every now and again, we'd decide to become tourists for the day and go sightseeing.

Maybe the answer when out shooting in public places is to wear a sweatshirt that says "F*** off - I'm a tourist!"
