We have a police SERVICE, not a FORCE. Also, remember that there is no such thing as 'qualified immunity' in the UK - police officers are subject to the same laws as the rest of the population - which probably explains why so many police officers are against the idea of being permanently armed. Their training is six months in a classroom before being allowed anywhere near a street, followed up by another 10 weeks patrolling with a tutor. Training never really stops as you progress but note that emphasis is always on de-escalation of a situation (because the only arms they normally carry is a taser) as opposed to the American solution is to reach for their gun (if it is not out already).
Please explain why the police are arresting people for saying non violent things online when there was no law against it. The police have again, as they do often, overstepped the mark by arresting non criminals while allowing real criminals to do what they do@@markwolstenholme3354
They still get special treatment even though there's no qualified immunity. No the police are not as nice you think, but some are baring in mind we used to have the best police and the best justice system in the world. Sadly that has all changed long ago, their priorities are hurty word crimes said on social media. Real crime on the whole is ignored.
In Denmark it is not illegal to be a prostitute, but it is illegal to buy sex. This is so we don’t punish the women who are often in some bad situations.
In UK the act of paying for sex isn't actually illegal. SOLICITING for paid sex whether that's a client asking 'how much for sex?' or a working girl saying 'are you looking for business?' BOTH are classed as soliciting.
makes no sense really because that is basically allowing pimping to happen while men who pay for that exact service, gets arrested, keeping the women in a worse situation than if they were to get some type of court order to get out of that life lol. it's like selling grinders and weed rizla in every corner store but arresting people for smoking. "here are some pro*titutes for sale, but if you buy them you're getting locked up". utterly senseless.
Also is one of the oldest professions on Earth, I get they want to get rid of it, but it should just be a job. If it was legalized women would be much safer. Only fans can offer sex, that's paid for work, so I don't see the point in making it illegal.
Don't get confused - those homeless people are not stupid and would not dare tell police who is supplying their drugs or tell police anything which would get someone else arrested, because that homeless person would be attacked secretly by other criminals if they did that. All they are doing is giving police a better understanding of their life and conditions, also telling police how much alcohol and drugs they consume helps the police realise how much stuff they have to steal to satisfy their habit, and helps the police do a better job in the long term....... we hope.
Yeah but in America you'd get arrested for saying you took drugs, whereas here whilst it's illegal - the police aren't generally going to waste their time on individuals, preferring to look for the dealers/distributors. Also he just admitted to shoplifting, which again they'd arrest you for in America, that's why they're surprised. For both those things here you'd have to be caught in the act.
It’s also a currency you always have, your body for consumption by a client. So for a woman, in a cruel way, you can’t just ‘not have the money’. Because you always have one option on the table
Same, each time is further traumatising meaning the desire to get high to forget it all will be stronger. The clients degrading a human being for less than the price of a cinema ticket disgust me. We need to get better at dealing with it - the clients are not being compelled to do it by an addiction (there may be rare cases of sex addiction which are a bit different as they are often feeling as dirty and ashamed as the sex worker they're paying), whereas the sex worker usually is. The power is all with the client, and at present it seems like it's the sex worker who gets the harsher punishment. I don't think we should be punishing these women at all, but instead dealing with the clients.
This is my city, the police do treat people with respect. Also if you disrespect them they can be ruthless don’t be fooled, I love Sheffield, you guys need to do the city reaction, it’s amazing 🤩🏴
@@boskee As I understand it that isn't always the case and in some cases you get some back but costs may be subtracted. Bail bonds work differently to cash ones but I heard it can differ from state to state as well.
The different levels of policing aren’t always talked about - this is neighbourhood policing where local coppers get to know all the individuals on their patch. Respect is built up both ways (when it works) and it can result in great intelligence which feeds up to regional and national levels
I’m immensely proud of our police force . They appreciate that there’s a time to be no nonsense and tough and a time to be sympathetic and kind. They manage to police this country without fire arms ( unless they’re firearms unit) very successfully. It’s a dangerous job most of us wouldn’t dare do . I applaud our police 🇬🇧👏🏻
@nicolasmalley306 proud of the british police in the uk your jokin all they do is police the internet for people saying things things that are silly we ave a two tier police force one for white people and another for people off color starmer has made it worse i used to be proud off our police force about 10 plus yrs back not now ther clowns if your car is stolen or broken into they wont come out or your house broken into they will maybe come round 3 or 4 weeks later many parts of england london b/ham is patroled and run by shari law and our police do nothink about it
I grew up with people who had addictions and they all know police officers who treat them with respect by name, they like and trust them, have nicknames for them and will even stop and talk to them when they aren't on duty if they see them. They know that they can go to them if they're ever a victim of a crime and be believed and helped. The police know who the "usual suspects" are in certain areas and what crimes they are most likely to commit, they notice if someone is missing so will follow up on people they haven't seen in a while because they don't have family to report them as missing and because of the relationships they have built with them they will know family members they can possibly check with, friends who they sometimes stay with, police in areas they know they have lived in the past etc When they do arrest these women they won't just give them a fine, they will gather information about them including any addictions, relationships, living situations and family and offer advice and help (whether the women take the advice and help is another matter) they will also ask these women about crimes committed against them and cars/men the police should be aware of. The police also have the option of applying for an anti-social behaviour order (or asbo as its commonly known) which prevents them from being in certain areas of the town/city and even people but they need to show a pattern of anti-social behaviour first. The police know that all of these people know that these people are suffering from mental health issues/trauma and try treating them with respect because they are more likely to get the same in return. The system isn't perfect but its better than treating everyone as a criminal when they just need help or are simply at the soup kitchen getting something to eat. How many Americans would speak to the police like these people speak to the police in this video?
The trouble is, if the girls are being forced, they are usually terrified of the men who are making them do it, and are too scared to talk. They would rather pay a small fine (£40 is nothing) than get their men in trouble and end up badly beaten, or killed.
Most of us brits respect our police, the basic rule is if u havent done anything wrong theres no problem and ull be on ur way, no drama or profiling or singling people out.
First comment: UK Police work on behalf of the public. Policing by consent, following the 9 rules set out by Robert Peel. The principles which were set out in the ‘General Instructions’ that were issued to every new police officer from 1829 were: To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment. To recognise always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect. To recognise always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws. To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives. To seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion; but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humour; and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life. To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective. To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence. To recognise always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty. To recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them
@@TomThumb-d1rI know! I walked away from.policing after 28 years because I was part of a system being used for political expediency, where certain personality types were being recruited that wouldn't question the bosses, that didn't think expensively and couldn't spell compassion let alone use it. The policing principles went out the window decades ago. Most coppers have no idea they cannot demand your info " just because " and they wouldnt know free thought if it kicked them up the arse. And they wouldnt know those principles if they were tattooed on their arms. But, the powers that be (and I'm talking the hidden power, not government) don't want policing by consent they want a militarised home guard to enforce draconian laws, more of which were ushered in quietly while the uk focused on masking up and having their shoulders jabbed like good little citizens. I'm proud of what I did and how I did it but I'm glad AF that I handed back my warrant card in 2017. Anyway, rant over! That's enough yt for today!
My first reaction to seeing the people on the street is 'there but for the grace of God go I' Lots of the public are one crisis away from being them. As was said the street people are just as likely to be victims as the rest of us. I am so happy the soup kitchens are helping, usually church groups, at the same time unhappy that its necessary. Knife crime tends to be mostly young men in gangs. The chances of the Police in this situation having a knife pulled on them is no high. The Police officers usually carry pepper spray some have tasers. There are armed response units a little like your SWAT teams and they will be called in if firearms use or terrorism is suspected. A Firearms licence is very time consuming to apply for in the UK. You have to prove the firearm is necessary. My husband had a firearms licence for antique weapons and target shooting. It took about 4 months to obtain. Checks are made into your psychological wellness, a Firearms officer will come to your home to ensure you have the necessary protections installed. Guns must be locked away in a cabinet and ammunition locked away separately. The officer chats to you probably to get an idea of the kind of person you are. One of my husband's guns was stored at the range as there are strict rules about carriage of firearms. Farmers often have shotguns . Clay pigeon shooting is quite popular as is pheasant and grouse shooting. In Scotland you can shoot deer. All these things are highly regulated. Most Brits don't want a gun. Some criminals have illegal weapons but the sentences for crimes involving a firearm are much higher.
They have been arrested for their crimes and been dealt with in the courts! they know they have done wrong and don't mind telling the police about their past activities!
Oh my goodness, I could not imagine what it must be like to live in a country where you fear your Police. That is really sad. We really are lucky in the UK.
I quite agree with you regarding the £40 fine and arresting the pimp who controls her. However, the problem is they will not disclose who the pimp is as that would putt her life in danger.
To be frank a lot of the time they don't have a pimp, their "pimp" is their addiction. They sell their bodies until they have enough money to score and will then go home and use. The police will arrest them to gather more information about their situation and addiction, they will offer services to them for free and the anti-social behaviour orders (or asbo as they're more commonly known) are orders to keep them away from certain areas of the city or even people... they won't just be giving them a fine, but gathering as much information as possible so that if they are arrested again they can apply for an order which can then lead to even more help including therapy, rehab, housing etc police here are very well aware that with prostitution there comes with it a lot of baggage including addiction, abusive relationships, childhood trauma and obviously trauma in adulthood. A lot of these women will also have lost children to the system due to addiction or abusive relationships so most police officers will always treat them with respect.
I agree there. Then I think said pimp needs her to get out there and him to put out money. One without the other is no use to him. £40 fine should be on both parts played don’t you think?
Just for fun Compare education needed to become a cop in for example , different states in the US, the UK , different countries in the EU Its a shocker And explains so so much
You’re correct “quid” is slang for pounds, £11.44 is minimum wage here so that means the average person would have to work over 8 hours a day to earn what he spends on drugs each day.
They will have checked whether she is being firced into it. In that area, addiction is the driving force, not coercion, but part of the reason why they interview the women is to discover whether they are in abusive sutuations.
These people will already have been dealt with by the law for the crimes they are admitting. They have likely already been charged & await trial, or have been fined etc. These street people & homeless addicts will be well known to the police officers. They befriend them to limit their crimes & try to get them help to get straight.
A court has to order drug and alcohol rehabilitation programmes. If a person is before a court persistently for low level crimes, then these orders are issued. Any using of drugs or booze whilst on DRR orders can lead to prison sentences!! ❤🇬🇧
This is the first time I have watched you all reacting to English police. You were all extremely kind & I really enjoyed your video. I must point out though about the prostitution, the working ladies are normally caught up with domestic violence situations & are either forced by a boyfriend or a pimp. Ultimately drugs is the founding issues for the prostitution and money will be the goal of the drug dealer or pimp. UK police force always ask abused women & men if they are safe? If they need help? This ultimately includes prostitutes all they would have to do is say "help me" & the officers would have the ladies hidden somewhere in the United Kingdom within a matter of hours! For that alone I feel the people of the UK are extremely fortunate to have so many caring people that work together to help people who are living in horrendously awful situations, but once clarity comes there's people there for them & ready to help 💞 God bless you all, God bless the UK police force & the charities that make safe homes possible.🇬🇧
Remember they were on TV, so acting extra nice. But these are community officers, that is their role. Then there are response teams including firearms officers. But we do not have the same gun issues as in US. Support is offered to prostitutes, but they will never give evidence against their pimps if they have one. There are only 300,000 crack and heroin addicts in UK, US will be much worse. But life on some UK council estates is pretty grim.
the thing is a lot of these people turn to drugs after being made homeless to get through the nights on the streets then once they are hooked they need it just to function coz withdrawal is painful and makes you really poorly and not many of them want to get clean coz they still don't have a home to go back to when they are sober its a vicious circle
Not sure who are writing the comments on here but seems like they friends or family of serving police. You only need to check out UA-cam and find out what the British people really think of the British police.
My wife was a UK Police Officer for 19 years and my brother in law is a Police Sergeant. Consequently I’ve met a lot of Police Officers, they’re people like you and me trying to earn a living, and a lot of them join to try and help people and keep us safe. Yes there are some assholes but that’s true of any job, the majority of people are friendly and want to help their fellow citizens if they are in trouble, that’s as true for Police Officers as it is for anyone else.
The British Police have an extendable baton (ASP) and a version of pepper spray. The officers that carry a Taser are specifically trained to have the device and have to go though annual checks ro ensure they meet the requirements ro continue to be licensed to have the device. Firearm officers have to go through rigorous testing both physical and mental to gain their certificate once they discharge the firearm they are suspended until the results of the investigation of the discharge is completed. During the time of the suspension (on full pay) no other officer is able to contact them. If a firearm is discharged by a Police Officer they face manslaughter or murder charges.
There are some good videos out there that show the difference between police equipment. We do have firearms officers, but they are different. Hopefully, you will all find out the answers you want. From Yorkshire
18:55 - INACCURATE SUBTITLES - I know that it can be difficult to understand regional British accents in a video particularly if English is not the viewer's first language. However,, subtitles on UA-cam are not 100% accurate. If you're really interested in learning more about this or any other 'societal'' problem, watch these types of documentaries together with a native English speaker. The reason for this is because regional areas around the Britain Isles have different accents from each other, and use their own 'slang' words too. For example, a bread roll, the most common name used in the UK, but it is also known as a... Cob: A common name for bread rolls in the UK Bun: A common name for bread rolls in the UK Barm cake: A common name for bread rolls in the UK Teacake: A common name for bread rolls in the West Country and the North West, especially in areas north of Manchester Stotty: A common name for bread rolls in Newcastle Rowie: A common name for bread rolls in Glasgow Blaa: A doughy, white bread bun that is a specialty in Waterford, Ireland. And this is only a bread roll demonstrated here. Think of any object, item or thing and you'll discover different UK regions will use a different word to describe/name that same thing. However, in some cases, even an Englishman may not understand what another Englishman is saying due to his regional accent and use of a different vocabulary. Although the British Isles are small, they host a large amount of 'regional accents', and where accents differ, so does vocabulary. Similar to the African continent comprised of multiple countries, the British Isles are comprised of multiple regions. Each region has its ‘own version’ of English. Therefore, not ALL English speakers know ALL regional 'slang' words. Another example of the elasticity of language. My mother was born on the Caribbean island of Dominca, (pronounced dommi-nee-ka). Their language is described as French Creole. Similar to the French spoken in France bu twith a few slang words added and without the French accent. The native inhabitants of the Dominica began adopting many words of the French during their occupation of the island in the 1700s. Here’s the thing… If my mother spioke to a person from France in French Creole, she may not be understood for a number of reason including the two I mentioned earlier, the accent and the slang words. The main reason is because the ‘french vocabulary’ part of my mother’s patois (patwa) was spoken back in the 1700s, and has had over 300 years to evolve into what is spoken today in France. It’s not that my mother is speaking the wrong words, it’s simply that they are old and hardly used today, if at all. Could an Englishman from the 1700s understand words uttered by an Englishman born in the 2000s? Let’s go back even further. How about a couple more hundred year further?. Have you read Shakespeare?
Love seeing people realise it can always be better. German cops are well trained and mostly chill too. That's what happens when your society doesn't live in fear.
You guys should also start reacting to music videos because you are all positive happy people and some of these subjects don't do justification for your great personalities ❤
Sheffield is the best city in the UK for good, friendly people, general lack of violence and overall kindness of the population. That's why I settled here.
This was a pilot scheme in my home town of Sheffield, they are of course extra nice on this video, but it has worked. More and more the police are considering themselves as a service and not a force, it's been called the Police Service for a long time, but that is also now becoming the mindset of the officers.
I agree with you about how they dealt with the sex worker. They let the client off with a verbal caution, yet fined her £40 which means she has to perform 4 more sex acts to earn that back, and if she's a drug addict she's clearly going to feel compelled to go back out on the streets. Often these are very vulnerable women who have been severely disadvantaged in life, and who have been hooked on drugs by people looking to exploit them. These are not high class escorts making a lot of money, where some may say it was their informed choice to do the work. I can't think of any woman who would gladly sell her body on the streets for £10 while putting herself at risk of violent assault.
We in the UK realise drugs are an addiction. The police are not soft in situations that need to be dealt with. Drug addicts will reoffend regardless of any sentences given to them, police know they need to go on a rehabilitation program.
Homeless people shouldn't be treated like criminals. They all have a reason for ending up on the streets. They need help. I've always found South Yorkshire police very respectful and helpful.
He didn’t say £200 - the auto subtitles can’t pick up the accent. He said “up to a hundred quid”. But it’s still an eye watering amount of money, even for someone who has a good job, let alone a person on the streets!
Because it's not a authoritarian country they're NOT FORCE they are police service to help in the community to assist us. When we've broken down the stopped helped up to wait for the tow truck kept us safe by putting lights on sending no one will drive into us parked on the road . Once at night train didn't come they saw me walking and have me a lift home so I be safe
The police can only act and charge again the crime infront of them at that moment; There's a seperate investigation department within the police that would see the booking charges and look into the situation and create a bigger case to then enact a larger raid if needed - what they also don't show here is that we have care officers that would be trying to help the women get off the street or away from any external force that would put them in that position; the trouble is the women need to be willing to cut ties and go with them.
I recognise that accent! Y’all would be welcome here in the UK. At first I assumed it would be some sort of American accent but nah! Africa for the win :) can I ask, do police treat you differently for not having a typical American accent whilst still being black, or the same? Shalom
I totally agree with you guys on how they dealt with the women. I wish they took a similar approach as they did with the homeless people and were more focused on helping them and keeping them out of trouble. There should be a stronger charge for the men who are picking them up because they are the ones choosing to break the law without any sort of necessity and if the risk was more severe less people would be seeking out at least this form of s*x work... These women are not doing this because they want to 💔
In the UK police have to give an official warning to a person if and before they want to arrest them. Not doing so has led to problems in court for police later. “You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.” Police here don't like to carry guns as if they use them and someone is killed there has to be a long investigation into whether it was necessary of not and lead to long suspensions whilst they are carried out.
@@TheReelStuff Not required to arrest someone but it is required to interview someone about a criminal offence. There's a difference, check the Police & Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
Yes, we have knife crime in the UK, but it’s not excessive. I’ve never encountered anyone with a knife and neither have most people. That stuff tends to go on inside gangs. The US likes to massively exaggerate the problem to try and make out that it’s comparable to gun crime over there, but it’s not even close, not by miles.
Here in the uk the prisons its okay you get three meals ,you get a warm bed and you have no bills to pay 😂. Ppl here get illegal guns on the black market. The police do you have guns it is for the special units.
Those guys are confessing to things they did in the past, and have probably been punished for some of the crimes already. Even if they are talking about things that they still do, the police can't arrest them without evidence. A spoken confession is meaningless, it has to be written and signed by the offender before it would stand up in court.
They aren’t confessing any new crimes, this is stuff they have already been convicted of, they were explaining the back story and how they ended up on the street
I think the subtitles are a touch off there. I'm almost sure when asked how much he used to spend on drugs Jammie said "Up too A Hundread Pounds". Still a massive amount, but half what it sounded like.
our police do a very hard job, same as everywhere, but our police are taught to respect everyone regardless of their circumstances. We know that everyone here is three pay checks away from being destitute, it could literally be any of us in that situation and therefore everyone has to be treated fairly. Yes we can and should do better but when you look around the world we don't do too bad. I appreciate our police for what they do and that they always know they're there as a police service. the usa has it all wrong and empower their police to feel that they are somehow better than others, this creates most of the problems, you escalate everything so quickly in the usa where in the uk we try to get everyone calm so we can help. the fact your prisons are private companies earning profits suggests your police are literally out there on the streets trying to earn bonuses for criminalising people who are just having a really bad time in their lives. globally we all can do better, but not many do worse than the usa.
Arresting curb crawlers and prostitutes seems a bit pointless as the people concerned are consenting adults. But if you don't keep it under control the streets would be full of them.
Your right about the dealing with the prostitution problem Some people are forced into doing it ( by a partner or in some disturbing cases by a parent) It's not just females though Trans people, men and children are all just as likely to fall into a bad habit Also charging the prostitute for prostitution is actually backwards thinking Charging them money in the hope they don't re offend is dumb As they are prostituting themselves BECAUSE they need money So in order to pay the police fine they will probably just go back to prostitution as it's a quick earner
They talk so freely about their crimes because its their way of life, they all have a history of convictions and know the police wont arrest them unless they confess to anything outstading and specific. the police arent going to arrest them just because they said they shoplift. the UK justice and prison system is seriously over loaded and half of the crimes they do get arrested for and charged with dont even make it to court.
The police have not arrested or cautioned any of them, and talking about drugs and crime is not a reason to be arrested, like he said they get alot of info from theses people. Respect gets respect. The women will not tell who they are working for out of fear. So the polices hands are tied.
He doesn’t say £200 a day. The subtitles aren’t picking up his dialect. He’s saying, ‘owt up’te’undred quid. ; owt (anything) up’t (up to) ‘undred (a hundred) quid (pounds) 2:57
Born here going get buried with him. Mummy and Daddy are buried. Love you, children, but what is going on with you now?THE KIDS TELL ME NEVER OLD, BUT WOW
I live in Sheffield and this looks like a much older video. It’s worse than it has ever been when it comes to violence and crime. When I was a teen in the 90s I could walk around at night without any fear, now I won’t even leave the house in the daytime! The lad at the beginning didn’t say £200 he said “owt upto hundred quid” meaning upto 100 pounds. The Yorkshire accent can be hard to understand lol
I was looking for this!! It did state in the commentary on the in-video that it was 2002! I don't think some of the comparisons would be the same now (monetary in particular)
Public order offence, abuses people free speech, if there is no person making a claim against you, the police cannot be the complainant and the arrester, the police cannot be offended. They are abusing the oath they swore. Their jurisdiction is criminal law, but the police act outside that jurisdiction every single day, enforcing Acts and Statutes, which are CIVIL OFFENCE, outside of their real permit, to enforce the law, criminal law. They have become, corporate tax enforcers, enforcing fines upon people, with the courts also working hand in glove to collect the fines. Again, they too, act outside their legal jurisdiction.
They confess tgeir crimed because cthe police are there ro help them. They don't see the police as thd enemy. Many of these people had no choice but a life of crime and the police are the first people ever to care about them. The attitude our police have means that all levels of society trust them.
Remember the police enforce the laws they don't make them your comment about £40 being too low yes it is but the police cannot just change the amount we are a service not a force we don't tazer people for no reason I've seen countless videos of US police dealing with criminals and it's horrific compared to ours and another thing which I am grateful for our police do not carry guns so don't get trigger happy we had a dedicated firearms unit that can be called to assist with incidents x
The British police when they are being filmed are always nice and polite just like all police the world over.. BUT when no cameras are around them the majority are completely different due to them wearing the uniform of power.
Prostitution, if the same person is arrested three times for prostitution, then they are delt with in a different way. They are given three charnces, each time fined.
What do I think of this video? Well the first thing is I like the reaction you give to it and the respect you show for our UK police force. I as an individual find it hard to react to this video as for the past 48 years I have lived in a very quiet village on the English channel with very low policing problems. If we have teenagers causing vandalism the whole community is shocked and it is front page news on our local paper. We do have drugs creeping in but it is hidden and swept under the carpet the local population is made up mostly of retired wealthy probably 80%. With a population of just over 6,000 souls. So you will understand why I can't relate to crime, prostitution, drugs, because it may happen here but it's hidden from view so i am protected from it. Now British city's are a totally different thing which is why I left London 48 years ago so that I could bring up my now grown children free from all these problems. Thankfully they all grew to be outstanding citizens of the world (literally I have one daughter in New Zealand who runs a wildlife sanctuary, a son in this village who has built a food factory and employs local people, another two daughters who work in social care one in Wiltshire and one in our village helping the elderly. So you see it worked by removing them from a potentially bad environment and given love and support not just by the family but the whole community it works. These poor souls in a city need care and love but in truth it's probably just a very small percentage in those environments who find it. As for our police they do a sterling job in very difficult circumstances and only praise can be heaped on them.
Takes a village to raise a child for sure. I too moved from a city area to a rural area so my children could run free and live a proper life, one is a millenial the other 2 are gen Z but the three of them had a gen x childhood :D for that i'm really proud! My children went out to play every day, built dens in the woods and knew what time to be home for! much harder in the cities, but here... i don't even lock my door at night, not even joking. Went on holiday for ten days and came home to find my back window wide open and everything was fine lol ( i wouldn't advise that as a thing lol but it certainly is a truth of my life here in the country.)
@@scotmax8426 When you have children its not a hard decision to move to a safer environment if you are lucky enough to be able to afford and have a job to go to. It was the best decision of my life as I feel sure you feel the same. Nice to find another person who thinks the same and acted upon it. Just a little side story my son who was 7 at the time of moving went out to play with a friend. They found a hay rick on a local farm that had just been built. Well they climbed on top and inside and ruined the shape and the build of it which is important to keep it intact during the winter months. The farmer caught my son and his friend. Instead of verbally telling them off he made them rebuild the rick. When it was completed he brought them a glass of farm milk each along with a plate of biscuits. Now thats a kindness never forgotten taught them a lesson, no harm was done and its something that would never happen in a city environment.
We have a police SERVICE, not a FORCE. Also, remember that there is no such thing as 'qualified immunity' in the UK - police officers are subject to the same laws as the rest of the population - which probably explains why so many police officers are against the idea of being permanently armed. Their training is six months in a classroom before being allowed anywhere near a street, followed up by another 10 weeks patrolling with a tutor. Training never really stops as you progress but note that emphasis is always on de-escalation of a situation (because the only arms they normally carry is a taser) as opposed to the American solution is to reach for their gun (if it is not out already).
Please explain why the police are arresting people for saying non violent things online when there was no law against it. The police have again, as they do often, overstepped the mark by arresting non criminals while allowing real criminals to do what they do@@markwolstenholme3354
@@markwolstenholme3354I think they have rebranded to the police service, intended to sound less aggressive.
They still get special treatment even though there's no qualified immunity. No the police are not as nice you think, but some are baring in mind we used to have the best police and the best justice system in the world. Sadly that has all changed long ago, their priorities are hurty word crimes said on social media. Real crime on the whole is ignored.
Your partly wrong only a small percentage of British police are Taser trained . The rest havet the usual issues pava spray
@@MoominDoogieI think that was just Hot Fuzz.. 😭🤣
In Denmark it is not illegal to be a prostitute, but it is illegal to buy sex. This is so we don’t punish the women who are often in some bad situations.
Same in Norway. A buyer of services from a prostitute is punishable with anything from 6months in jail, or a fine of 15 000 to 20 000 nok.
In UK the act of paying for sex isn't actually illegal.
SOLICITING for paid sex whether that's a client asking 'how much for sex?' or a working girl saying 'are you looking for business?'
BOTH are classed as soliciting.
Same in Germany...
makes no sense really because that is basically allowing pimping to happen while men who pay for that exact service, gets arrested, keeping the women in a worse situation than if they were to get some type of court order to get out of that life lol. it's like selling grinders and weed rizla in every corner store but arresting people for smoking. "here are some pro*titutes for sale, but if you buy them you're getting locked up". utterly senseless.
Also is one of the oldest professions on Earth, I get they want to get rid of it, but it should just be a job. If it was legalized women would be much safer. Only fans can offer sex, that's paid for work, so I don't see the point in making it illegal.
Don't get confused - those homeless people are not stupid and would not dare tell police who is supplying their drugs or tell police anything which would get someone else arrested, because that homeless person would be attacked secretly by other criminals if they did that.
All they are doing is giving police a better understanding of their life and conditions, also telling police how much alcohol and drugs they consume helps the police realise how much stuff they have to steal to satisfy their habit, and helps the police do a better job in the long term....... we hope.
Yeah but in America you'd get arrested for saying you took drugs, whereas here whilst it's illegal - the police aren't generally going to waste their time on individuals, preferring to look for the dealers/distributors. Also he just admitted to shoplifting, which again they'd arrest you for in America, that's why they're surprised. For both those things here you'd have to be caught in the act.
Importantly here, none of the people speaking to the officer are 'under caution' so nothing they say could be used in court against them.
As a woman. £10 pounds to give away your body makes me weep inside. To feel that worthless and helpless that’s the crime so heartbreaking 💔
Addiction overrules All.
It’s also a currency you always have, your body for consumption by a client. So for a woman, in a cruel way, you can’t just ‘not have the money’. Because you always have one option on the table
@@KayosHybrid Many women can't make that step, too.
Same, each time is further traumatising meaning the desire to get high to forget it all will be stronger. The clients degrading a human being for less than the price of a cinema ticket disgust me. We need to get better at dealing with it - the clients are not being compelled to do it by an addiction (there may be rare cases of sex addiction which are a bit different as they are often feeling as dirty and ashamed as the sex worker they're paying), whereas the sex worker usually is. The power is all with the client, and at present it seems like it's the sex worker who gets the harsher punishment. I don't think we should be punishing these women at all, but instead dealing with the clients.
A few year back judges advised sex offenders when released to use sex workers! The system is a vicious cycle of abuse
This is my city, the police do treat people with respect. Also if you disrespect them they can be ruthless don’t be fooled, I love Sheffield, you guys need to do the city reaction, it’s amazing 🤩🏴
Hi from derby how’s Sheffield doing.
My home city 😁
In the UK, the word 'quid' is slang for pound. The majority of the police are really nice, friendly and treat people with respect.
In the UK, we don’t pay money to be released on bail, so we arrest fewer people as we’re not using bail money to fund anything.
In the US, the bail money is returned after the trial - no matter of the outcome. You only lose it if you break your bond conditions.
@@boskee As I understand it that isn't always the case and in some cases you get some back but costs may be subtracted. Bail bonds work differently to cash ones but I heard it can differ from state to state as well.
In the US prisons are privat profit making companies, if a space is empty they loose money. So often they bribe police
We also don't use prisoners as slave labour like they do in America...
The different levels of policing aren’t always talked about - this is neighbourhood policing where local coppers get to know all the individuals on their patch. Respect is built up both ways (when it works) and it can result in great intelligence which feeds up to regional and national levels
I’m immensely proud of our police force . They appreciate that there’s a time to be no nonsense and tough and a time to be sympathetic and kind. They manage to police this country without fire arms ( unless they’re firearms unit) very successfully. It’s a dangerous job most of us wouldn’t dare do . I applaud our police 🇬🇧👏🏻
@nicolasmalley306 proud of the british police in the uk your jokin all they do is police the internet for people saying things things that are silly we ave a two tier police force one for white people and another for people off color starmer has made it worse i used to be proud off our police force about 10 plus yrs back not now ther clowns if your car is stolen or broken into they wont come out or your house broken into they will maybe come round 3 or 4 weeks later many parts of england london b/ham is patroled and run by shari law and our police do nothink about it
I grew up with people who had addictions and they all know police officers who treat them with respect by name, they like and trust them, have nicknames for them and will even stop and talk to them when they aren't on duty if they see them.
They know that they can go to them if they're ever a victim of a crime and be believed and helped. The police know who the "usual suspects" are in certain areas and what crimes they are most likely to commit, they notice if someone is missing so will follow up on people they haven't seen in a while because they don't have family to report them as missing and because of the relationships they have built with them they will know family members they can possibly check with, friends who they sometimes stay with, police in areas they know they have lived in the past etc
When they do arrest these women they won't just give them a fine, they will gather information about them including any addictions, relationships, living situations and family and offer advice and help (whether the women take the advice and help is another matter) they will also ask these women about crimes committed against them and cars/men the police should be aware of. The police also have the option of applying for an anti-social behaviour order (or asbo as its commonly known) which prevents them from being in certain areas of the town/city and even people but they need to show a pattern of anti-social behaviour first.
The police know that all of these people know that these people are suffering from mental health issues/trauma and try treating them with respect because they are more likely to get the same in return.
The system isn't perfect but its better than treating everyone as a criminal when they just need help or are simply at the soup kitchen getting something to eat. How many Americans would speak to the police like these people speak to the police in this video?
don't apologise for talking! That's what we're here for
The trouble is, if the girls are being forced, they are usually terrified of the men who are making them do it, and are too scared to talk. They would rather pay a small fine (£40 is nothing) than get their men in trouble and end up badly beaten, or killed.
Most of us brits respect our police, the basic rule is if u havent done anything wrong theres no problem and ull be on ur way, no drama or profiling or singling people out.
First comment: UK Police work on behalf of the public. Policing by consent, following the 9 rules set out by Robert Peel.
The principles which were set out in the ‘General Instructions’ that were issued to every new police officer from 1829 were:
To prevent crime and disorder, as an alternative to their repression by military force and severity of legal punishment.
To recognise always that the power of the police to fulfil their functions and duties is dependent on public approval of their existence, actions and behaviour and on their ability to secure and maintain public respect.
To recognise always that to secure and maintain the respect and approval of the public means also the securing of the willing co-operation of the public in the task of securing observance of laws.
To recognise always that the extent to which the co-operation of the public can be secured diminishes proportionately the necessity of the use of physical force and compulsion for achieving police objectives.
To seek and preserve public favour, not by pandering to public opinion; but by constantly demonstrating absolutely impartial service to law, in complete independence of policy, and without regard to the justice or injustice of the substance of individual laws, by ready offering of individual service and friendship to all members of the public without regard to their wealth or social standing, by ready exercise of courtesy and friendly good humour; and by ready offering of individual sacrifice in protecting and preserving life.
To use physical force only when the exercise of persuasion, advice and warning is found to be insufficient to obtain public co-operation to an extent necessary to secure observance of law or to restore order, and to use only the minimum degree of physical force which is necessary on any particular occasion for achieving a police objective.
To maintain at all times a relationship with the public that gives reality to the historic tradition that the police are the public and that the public are the police, the police being only members of the public who are paid to give full time attention to duties which are incumbent on every citizen in the interests of community welfare and existence.
To recognise always the need for strict adherence to police-executive functions, and to refrain from even seeming to usurp the powers of the judiciary of avenging individuals or the State, and of authoritatively judging guilt and punishing the guilty.
To recognise always that the test of police efficiency is the absence of crime and disorder, and not the visible evidence of police action in dealing with them
Blimey, you actually believe that. Lol.
@@TomThumb-d1rI know! I walked away from.policing after 28 years because I was part of a system being used for political expediency, where certain personality types were being recruited that wouldn't question the bosses, that didn't think expensively and couldn't spell compassion let alone use it. The policing principles went out the window decades ago. Most coppers have no idea they cannot demand your info " just because " and they wouldnt know free thought if it kicked them up the arse. And they wouldnt know those principles if they were tattooed on their arms. But, the powers that be (and I'm talking the hidden power, not government) don't want policing by consent they want a militarised home guard to enforce draconian laws, more of which were ushered in quietly while the uk focused on masking up and having their shoulders jabbed like good little citizens. I'm proud of what I did and how I did it but I'm glad AF that I handed back my warrant card in 2017. Anyway, rant over! That's enough yt for today!
Americans must understand, that in the UK if you have a flat and are unemployed the rent is paid for you and you get social security to buy food,
My first reaction to seeing the people on the street is 'there but for the grace of God go I'
Lots of the public are one crisis away from being them.
As was said the street people are just as likely to be victims as the rest of us. I am so happy the soup kitchens are helping, usually church groups, at the same time unhappy that its necessary.
Knife crime tends to be mostly young men in gangs. The chances of the Police in this situation having a knife pulled on them is no high. The Police officers usually carry pepper spray some have tasers. There are armed response units a little like your SWAT teams and they will be called in if firearms use or terrorism is suspected.
A Firearms licence is very time consuming to apply for in the UK. You have to prove the firearm is necessary. My husband had a firearms licence for antique weapons and target shooting. It took about 4 months to obtain. Checks are made into your psychological wellness, a Firearms officer will come to your home to ensure you have the necessary protections installed. Guns must be locked away in a cabinet and ammunition locked away separately. The officer chats to you probably to get an idea of the kind of person you are. One of my husband's guns was stored at the range as there are strict rules about carriage of firearms. Farmers often have shotguns . Clay pigeon shooting is quite popular as is pheasant and grouse shooting. In Scotland you can shoot deer. All these things are highly regulated. Most Brits don't want a gun. Some criminals have illegal weapons but the sentences for crimes involving a firearm are much higher.
Well said, if you have an addiction, you are ill, reach out for help
200 quid is 200 pound ...a quid is slang for 1 pound...love ur show ..
They have been arrested for their crimes and been dealt with in the courts! they know they have done wrong and don't mind telling the police about their past activities!
Oh my goodness, I could not imagine what it must be like to live in a country where you fear your Police. That is really sad. We really are lucky in the UK.
I quite agree with you regarding the £40 fine and arresting the pimp who controls her. However, the problem is they will not disclose who the pimp is as that would putt her life in danger.
To be frank a lot of the time they don't have a pimp, their "pimp" is their addiction. They sell their bodies until they have enough money to score and will then go home and use.
The police will arrest them to gather more information about their situation and addiction, they will offer services to them for free and the anti-social behaviour orders (or asbo as they're more commonly known) are orders to keep them away from certain areas of the city or even people... they won't just be giving them a fine, but gathering as much information as possible so that if they are arrested again they can apply for an order which can then lead to even more help including therapy, rehab, housing etc police here are very well aware that with prostitution there comes with it a lot of baggage including addiction, abusive relationships, childhood trauma and obviously trauma in adulthood. A lot of these women will also have lost children to the system due to addiction or abusive relationships so most police officers will always treat them with respect.
I agree there. Then I think said pimp needs her to get out there and him to put out money. One without the other is no use to him. £40 fine should be on both parts played don’t you think?
Our police are a lot calmer in the UK because they know that people do not carry guns here.
Just for fun
Compare education needed to become a cop in for example , different states in the US, the UK , different countries in the EU
Its a shocker
And explains so so much
You’re correct “quid” is slang for pounds, £11.44 is minimum wage here so that means the average person would have to work over 8 hours a day to earn what he spends on drugs each day.
*what he USED to spend on money. According to what was said, at the time of the filming the young man was down to spending around £20 daily.
£12.21 now.
They will have checked whether she is being firced into it. In that area, addiction is the driving force, not coercion, but part of the reason why they interview the women is to discover whether they are in abusive sutuations.
These people will already have been dealt with by the law for the crimes they are admitting. They have likely already been charged & await trial, or have been fined etc. These street people & homeless addicts will be well known to the police officers. They befriend them to limit their crimes & try to get them help to get straight.
A court has to order drug and alcohol rehabilitation programmes. If a person is before a court persistently for low level crimes, then these orders are issued. Any using of drugs or booze whilst on DRR orders can lead to prison sentences!! ❤🇬🇧
They have to catch you doing a crime to arrest someone for a low level crime as there is no evidence
Factually and legally incorrect.
@@ZygmuntKletterstein actually very true you need evidence to convict someone even if they think or know you did it
£200 is equivalent to 251 USD
Then he reduced it to £20 per day
This is the first time I have watched you all reacting to English police. You were all extremely kind & I really enjoyed your video. I must point out though about the prostitution, the working ladies are normally caught up with domestic violence situations & are either forced by a boyfriend or a pimp. Ultimately drugs is the founding issues for the prostitution and money will be the goal of the drug dealer or pimp. UK police force always ask abused women & men if they are safe? If they need help? This ultimately includes prostitutes all they would have to do is say "help me" & the officers would have the ladies hidden somewhere in the United Kingdom within a matter of hours! For that alone I feel the people of the UK are extremely fortunate to have so many caring people that work together to help people who are living in horrendously awful situations, but once clarity comes there's people there for them & ready to help 💞 God bless you all, God bless the UK police force & the charities that make safe homes possible.🇬🇧
Remember they were on TV, so acting extra nice. But these are community officers, that is their role. Then there are response teams including firearms officers. But we do not have the same gun issues as in US.
Support is offered to prostitutes, but they will never give evidence against their pimps if they have one.
There are only 300,000 crack and heroin addicts in UK, US will be much worse. But life on some UK council estates is pretty grim.
the thing is a lot of these people turn to drugs after being made homeless to get through the nights on the streets then once they are hooked they need it just to function coz withdrawal is painful and makes you really poorly and not many of them want to get clean coz they still don't have a home to go back to when they are sober its a vicious circle
Those auto captions are rubbish, and they don't have a clue about English English! You're better off turning them off. ;-)
Not sure who are writing the comments on here but seems like they friends or family of serving police.
You only need to check out UA-cam and find out what the British people really think of the British police.
1 quid = £1 we generally in everyday speech say quid not pound or pounds. Also quid is plural as well as singular 100 quid = 100 pounds.
My wife was a UK Police Officer for 19 years and my brother in law is a Police Sergeant. Consequently I’ve met a lot of Police Officers, they’re people like you and me trying to earn a living, and a lot of them join to try and help people and keep us safe. Yes there are some assholes but that’s true of any job, the majority of people are friendly and want to help their fellow citizens if they are in trouble, that’s as true for Police Officers as it is for anyone else.
Police also do not spend their lives in a police car...They are often on foot in city centres,,[On the beat] it is called...
Be thankful that you all have a strong group of friends. People on this are alone. Don't judge just help
The British Police have an extendable baton (ASP) and a version of pepper spray.
The officers that carry a Taser are specifically trained to have the device and have to go though annual checks ro ensure they meet the requirements ro continue to be licensed to have the device.
Firearm officers have to go through rigorous testing both physical and mental to gain their certificate once they discharge the firearm they are suspended until the results of the investigation of the discharge is completed. During the time of the suspension (on full pay) no other officer is able to contact them.
If a firearm is discharged by a Police Officer they face manslaughter or murder charges.
You guys look like a lovely family.
He said up too a hundred not up two hundred
There are some good videos out there that show the difference between police equipment. We do have firearms officers, but they are different. Hopefully, you will all find out the answers you want. From Yorkshire
A 'quid' is just an informal way of saying a 'pound'.
the homeless live on the street , they want it safe from violence too, too serve & protect ..fairplay to these cops
Our police do have firearms, BUT the local bobbies police do not. Firearms are only used in specific situations with specific trained police teams.
18:55 - INACCURATE SUBTITLES - I know that it can be difficult to understand regional British accents in a video particularly if English is not the viewer's first language. However,, subtitles on UA-cam are not 100% accurate. If you're really interested in learning more about this or any other 'societal'' problem, watch these types of documentaries together with a native English speaker. The reason for this is because regional areas around the Britain Isles have different accents from each other, and use their own 'slang' words too.
For example, a bread roll, the most common name used in the UK, but it is also known as a...
Cob: A common name for bread rolls in the UK
Bun: A common name for bread rolls in the UK
Barm cake: A common name for bread rolls in the UK
Teacake: A common name for bread rolls in the West Country and the North West, especially in areas north of Manchester
Stotty: A common name for bread rolls in Newcastle
Rowie: A common name for bread rolls in Glasgow
Blaa: A doughy, white bread bun that is a specialty in Waterford, Ireland.
And this is only a bread roll demonstrated here.
Think of any object, item or thing and you'll discover different UK regions will use a different word to describe/name that same thing. However, in some cases, even an Englishman may not understand what another Englishman is saying due to his regional accent and use of a different vocabulary.
Although the British Isles are small, they host a large amount of 'regional accents', and where accents differ, so does vocabulary. Similar to the African continent comprised of multiple countries, the British Isles are comprised of multiple regions. Each region has its ‘own version’ of English. Therefore, not ALL English speakers know ALL regional 'slang' words.
Another example of the elasticity of language.
My mother was born on the Caribbean island of Dominca, (pronounced dommi-nee-ka). Their language is described as French Creole. Similar to the French spoken in France bu twith a few slang words added and without the French accent. The native inhabitants of the Dominica began adopting many words of the French during their occupation of the island in the 1700s.
Here’s the thing…
If my mother spioke to a person from France in French Creole, she may not be understood for a number of reason including the two I mentioned earlier, the accent and the slang words. The main reason is because the ‘french vocabulary’ part of my mother’s patois (patwa) was spoken back in the 1700s, and has had over 300 years to evolve into what is spoken today in France. It’s not that my mother is speaking the wrong words, it’s simply that they are old and hardly used today, if at all.
Could an Englishman from the 1700s understand words uttered by an Englishman born in the 2000s?
Let’s go back even further. How about a couple more hundred year further?. Have you read Shakespeare?
A Quid isa slang term for a Pound.
Love seeing people realise it can always be better. German cops are well trained and mostly chill too. That's what happens when your society doesn't live in fear.
You guys should also start reacting to music videos because you are all positive happy people and some of these subjects don't do justification for your great personalities ❤
But this softer approach reduced crime by around 70%
Sheffield is the best city in the UK for good, friendly people, general lack of violence and overall kindness of the population. That's why I settled here.
Hi, we do have special armed police patrolling too. This is the main police service but we have armed officers too.
This was a pilot scheme in my home town of Sheffield, they are of course extra nice on this video, but it has worked. More and more the police are considering themselves as a service and not a force, it's been called the Police Service for a long time, but that is also now becoming the mindset of the officers.
I agree with you about how they dealt with the sex worker. They let the client off with a verbal caution, yet fined her £40 which means she has to perform 4 more sex acts to earn that back, and if she's a drug addict she's clearly going to feel compelled to go back out on the streets. Often these are very vulnerable women who have been severely disadvantaged in life, and who have been hooked on drugs by people looking to exploit them. These are not high class escorts making a lot of money, where some may say it was their informed choice to do the work. I can't think of any woman who would gladly sell her body on the streets for £10 while putting herself at risk of violent assault.
We in the UK realise drugs are an addiction. The police are not soft in situations that need to be dealt with. Drug addicts will reoffend regardless of any sentences given to them, police know they need to go on a rehabilitation program.
They're not confessing to new crimes, they're explaining what they've been reprimanded for previously and what the police already know about.
Homeless people shouldn't be treated like criminals. They all have a reason for ending up on the streets. They need help. I've always found South Yorkshire police very respectful and helpful.
He didn’t say £200 - the auto subtitles can’t pick up the accent. He said “up to a hundred quid”. But it’s still an eye watering amount of money, even for someone who has a good job, let alone a person on the streets!
I can't anymore. 59 born here Leicester City forever
Because it's not a authoritarian country they're NOT FORCE they are police service to help in the community to assist us. When we've broken down the stopped helped up to wait for the tow truck kept us safe by putting lights on sending no one will drive into us parked on the road . Once at night train didn't come they saw me walking and have me a lift home so I be safe
Often they are housed in the UK but they often doesn’t want the restrictions such as curfew and cleanliness.
Nice thought provoking opinions and reactions :]
The police can only act and charge again the crime infront of them at that moment; There's a seperate investigation department within the police that would see the booking charges and look into the situation and create a bigger case to then enact a larger raid if needed - what they also don't show here is that we have care officers that would be trying to help the women get off the street or away from any external force that would put them in that position; the trouble is the women need to be willing to cut ties and go with them.
I recognise that accent! Y’all would be welcome here in the UK. At first I assumed it would be some sort of American accent but nah! Africa for the win :) can I ask, do police treat you differently for not having a typical American accent whilst still being black, or the same?
Shalom
They can't arrest someone just for using the word "fuck" in a sentence. The context has to be abusive, threatening or insulting.
I totally agree with you guys on how they dealt with the women. I wish they took a similar approach as they did with the homeless people and were more focused on helping them and keeping them out of trouble. There should be a stronger charge for the men who are picking them up because they are the ones choosing to break the law without any sort of necessity and if the risk was more severe less people would be seeking out at least this form of s*x work... These women are not doing this because they want to 💔
In the UK police have to give an official warning to a person if and before they want to arrest them. Not doing so has led to problems in court for police later.
“You do not have to say anything. But, it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence.”
Police here don't like to carry guns as if they use them and someone is killed there has to be a long investigation into whether it was necessary of not and lead to long suspensions whilst they are carried out.
You nailed it completely
@@TheReelStuff Not required to arrest someone but it is required to interview someone about a criminal offence. There's a difference, check the Police & Criminal Evidence Act 1984.
Yes, we have knife crime in the UK, but it’s not excessive. I’ve never encountered anyone with a knife and neither have most people. That stuff tends to go on inside gangs. The US likes to massively exaggerate the problem to try and make out that it’s comparable to gun crime over there, but it’s not even close, not by miles.
I agree with your comment at 17:50 where you pointed out that the prostitutes are victims.
Here in the uk the prisons its okay you get three meals ,you get a warm bed and you have no bills to pay 😂. Ppl here get illegal guns on the black market. The police do you have guns it is for the special units.
Those guys are confessing to things they did in the past, and have probably been punished for some of the crimes already. Even if they are talking about things that they still do, the police can't arrest them without evidence. A spoken confession is meaningless, it has to be written and signed by the offender before it would stand up in court.
Glad the working girls are given an opportunity to some help, just hope its enough... i do know plenty who have rid themselves of this vile habit.
White lighting is cheap cider , with it you get drunk fast .
Girl on the right is perfect
They aren’t confessing any new crimes, this is stuff they have already been convicted of, they were explaining the back story and how they ended up on the street
I think the subtitles are a touch off there. I'm almost sure when asked how much he used to spend on drugs Jammie said "Up too A Hundread Pounds". Still a massive amount, but half what it sounded like.
our police do a very hard job, same as everywhere, but our police are taught to respect everyone regardless of their circumstances. We know that everyone here is three pay checks away from being destitute, it could literally be any of us in that situation and therefore everyone has to be treated fairly. Yes we can and should do better but when you look around the world we don't do too bad. I appreciate our police for what they do and that they always know they're there as a police service. the usa has it all wrong and empower their police to feel that they are somehow better than others, this creates most of the problems, you escalate everything so quickly in the usa where in the uk we try to get everyone calm so we can help. the fact your prisons are private companies earning profits suggests your police are literally out there on the streets trying to earn bonuses for criminalising people who are just having a really bad time in their lives.
globally we all can do better, but not many do worse than the usa.
Arresting curb crawlers and prostitutes seems a bit pointless as the people concerned are consenting adults. But if you don't keep it under control the streets would be full of them.
Those subtitles are 🤦🏼♀️.
Your right about the dealing with the prostitution problem
Some people are forced into doing it ( by a partner or in some disturbing cases by a parent)
It's not just females though
Trans people, men and children are all just as likely to fall into a bad habit
Also charging the prostitute for prostitution is actually backwards thinking
Charging them money in the hope they don't re offend is dumb
As they are prostituting themselves BECAUSE they need money
So in order to pay the police fine they will probably just go back to prostitution as it's a quick earner
British police, police for the people, to protect and serve, whilst American police, police the people on behalf of the establishment.
They talk so freely about their crimes because its their way of life, they all have a history of convictions and know the police wont arrest them unless they confess to anything outstading and specific. the police arent going to arrest them just because they said they shoplift. the UK justice and prison system is seriously over loaded and half of the crimes they do get arrested for and charged with dont even make it to court.
The police have not arrested or cautioned any of them, and talking about drugs and crime is not a reason to be arrested, like he said they get alot of info from theses people. Respect gets respect. The women will not tell who they are working for out of fear. So the polices hands are tied.
He doesn’t say £200 a day. The subtitles aren’t picking up his dialect. He’s saying, ‘owt up’te’undred quid. ; owt (anything) up’t (up to) ‘undred (a hundred) quid (pounds) 2:57
Born here going get buried with him. Mummy and Daddy are buried. Love you, children, but what is going on with you now?THE KIDS TELL ME NEVER OLD, BUT WOW
Fined £40 she's going to have to work to pay this back, what about stop the kerb crawlers.
I live in Sheffield and this looks like a much older video. It’s worse than it has ever been when it comes to violence and crime. When I was a teen in the 90s I could walk around at night without any fear, now I won’t even leave the house in the daytime!
The lad at the beginning didn’t say £200 he said “owt upto hundred quid” meaning upto 100 pounds. The Yorkshire accent can be hard to understand lol
I was looking for this!! It did state in the commentary on the in-video that it was 2002! I don't think some of the comparisons would be the same now (monetary in particular)
@ ahh I missed that thank you! I thought it seemed a while back lol. And you’re totally correct 💯
UK Police by consent, rather than police by force.
A quid is £1,... 100 quid = 127 US dollars
Quid is slang for pound
Public order offence, abuses people free speech, if there is no person making a claim against you, the police cannot be the complainant and the arrester, the police cannot be offended. They are abusing the oath they swore. Their jurisdiction is criminal law, but the police act outside that jurisdiction every single day, enforcing Acts and Statutes, which are CIVIL OFFENCE, outside of their real permit, to enforce the law, criminal law. They have become, corporate tax enforcers, enforcing fines upon people, with the courts also working hand in glove to collect the fines. Again, they too, act outside their legal jurisdiction.
They confess tgeir crimed because cthe police are there ro help them. They don't see the police as thd enemy.
Many of these people had no choice but a life of crime and the police are the first people ever to care about them.
The attitude our police have means that all levels of society trust them.
Remember the police enforce the laws they don't make them your comment about £40 being too low yes it is but the police cannot just change the amount we are a service not a force we don't tazer people for no reason I've seen countless videos of US police dealing with criminals and it's horrific compared to ours and another thing which I am grateful for our police do not carry guns so don't get trigger happy we had a dedicated firearms unit that can be called to assist with incidents x
That's a TV show, they don't act like this in front of cameras.
The British police when they are being filmed are always nice and polite just like all police the world over.. BUT when no cameras are around them the majority are completely different due to them wearing the uniform of power.
Not all police are as you discibed I think they have a hard job
The first guy around 3:30 said "up to £100 a day"... I think you guys misheard it as £200 a day. Still, about $40k per year just on drugs.
Seriously your math is bad, $40k is an over estimation
@@kerrykirk2515Seriously, his Maths is pretty spot on, 100 x 356 days = £35,600, convert that to dollars would be around $45k.
@@kerrykirk2515 £100 x 365 = £36,500 multiplied by the exchange rate (1:1.25) is $45,625. $40k is not an overestimation.
@@kerrykirk2515 Note the £/$ exchange rate is around £1.2/$1
You need to check out, British armed police.
Prostitution, if the same person is arrested three times for prostitution, then they are delt with in a different way. They are given three charnces, each time fined.
They are in most cases victims themselves and are treated as victims.
What do I think of this video? Well the first thing is I like the reaction you give to it and the respect you show for our UK police force. I as an individual find it hard to react to this video as for the past 48 years I have lived in a very quiet village on the English channel with very low policing problems. If we have teenagers causing vandalism the whole community is shocked and it is front page news on our local paper. We do have drugs creeping in but it is hidden and swept under the carpet the local population is made up mostly of retired wealthy probably 80%. With a population of just over 6,000 souls. So you will understand why I can't relate to crime, prostitution, drugs, because it may happen here but it's hidden from view so i am protected from it. Now British city's are a totally different thing which is why I left London 48 years ago so that I could bring up my now grown children free from all these problems. Thankfully they all grew to be outstanding citizens of the world (literally I have one daughter in New Zealand who runs a wildlife sanctuary, a son in this village who has built a food factory and employs local people, another two daughters who work in social care one in Wiltshire and one in our village helping the elderly. So you see it worked by removing them from a potentially bad environment and given love and support not just by the family but the whole community it works. These poor souls in a city need care and love but in truth it's probably just a very small percentage in those environments who find it. As for our police they do a sterling job in very difficult circumstances and only praise can be heaped on them.
Takes a village to raise a child for sure. I too moved from a city area to a rural area so my children could run free and live a proper life, one is a millenial the other 2 are gen Z but the three of them had a gen x childhood :D for that i'm really proud!
My children went out to play every day, built dens in the woods and knew what time to be home for!
much harder in the cities, but here... i don't even lock my door at night, not even joking. Went on holiday for ten days and came home to find my back window wide open and everything was fine lol ( i wouldn't advise that as a thing lol but it certainly is a truth of my life here in the country.)
@@scotmax8426 When you have children its not a hard decision to move to a safer environment if you are lucky enough to be able to afford and have a job to go to. It was the best decision of my life as I feel sure you feel the same. Nice to find another person who thinks the same and acted upon it. Just a little side story my son who was 7 at the time of moving went out to play with a friend. They found a hay rick on a local farm that had just been built. Well they climbed on top and inside and ruined the shape and the build of it which is important to keep it intact during the winter months. The farmer caught my son and his friend. Instead of verbally telling them off he made them rebuild the rick. When it was completed he brought them a glass of farm milk each along with a plate of biscuits. Now thats a kindness never forgotten taught them a lesson, no harm was done and its something that would never happen in a city environment.
48 years ago was bad? 🤣
