Did anyone see this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRvHGZJY7xYvideo) do the rounds a few months ago? ;D

No but what happened next?
Did he take it further?

I don't know what happened after, but DBG having his collar felt for speeding reminded me of this Vid. The guy seems like a bit of a harmless nutter to be honest, although I did feel sorry for the guy in van as he was only doing his job. ::)
There is a slight Omega interest as well.... ;)

The guy sounds a complete knob.

I think the guy has a valid point don't know if hes right but I noticed the police officers didn't answer the question

Huge difference between countries.
In Spain you most certainly cannot film police at all. In fact you can't film anyone else without their permission. You can if it is soley on your land though. e.g. a security camera. In car cameras obviously fall foulf of the rule too.

You may make images of Police personnel and equipment in public places/your own property, but only with permission... the permission bit might be a simple courtesy, but making images could be considered interference if the officers in question are doing something specific, so asking permission is not unreasonable imho :-\
The trespass thing is correct. WPC should have not set foot in the property, although probable cause could have a bearing... he could have been arrested for obstruction. They could have written to him and asked him to attend his local nick, and failing that gone to collect him to attend an interview under caution.
As for the Police Staff camera operator, he never identified himself as a Police officer, so that much is blocks. A civilian volunteer, who regularly drives marked and unmarked vehicles, isn't impersonating a Police officer, so why would a camera operator be guilty of that?
I know someone similar to the bloke filming, and he has had run ins with the local Constabulary, emails deleted, threatened with arrest for arguing the toss over the behaviour of a couple of PCs and their treatment of him. Such people are always right, even when they're wrong. The best thing those two officers could do was drive away, but I wouldn't be at all surprised if that chap didn't find himself in court...
