Best auditor on UA-cam extremely knowledgeable about the law and conveys that knowledge in a calm and responsible manner unlike some who are rude and confrontational
And we can all guess how this encounter would have gone if FP wasn't videoing the 'request' to leave. Unfortunately, they can't be trusted. Not even the 'nice and friendly' ones. Even they are more than willing to lie in order to help their mate stitch you up. FACT!
It's roughly translated to hi I'm your friend I'm here to fuck you because I've been told I'm better than you, I get paid to act like I'm better than you, but I'm not. I'm a puppet on some string you dance and move and when I say you sing.
These guys are cowards. When I was a child the police officers lived in houses right in the middle of tough council estates. Everyone knew them and their families, everyone kicked around with their children. They were respected for what they did and they were never victimised or attacked off the job. What do these Stasi have to hide? Your philosophical points are absolutely spot on. You educated these lads and they’ll be better officers for it, hopefully.
The local neighbourhood Bobbie is long gone. It increases authoritarian control if there’s a detachment between the police and the public They should be nice and polite but ready to bash someone at a moments notice if needed - they struggle with that if the person is John from the pub plus you can more easily be ID’d and held accountable
As a photographer of 35yrs and counting my lawyer was on hand at court recently when I was accused of photographing in a restricted area without permission. In a trial lasting several minutes my lawyer pointed out the security camera in my photograph pointing the same way as my lens and belonging to the very company accusing me of wrongdoing. They paid my fees and a small settlement and got a big bollocking from the magistrate to boot.
@@MrAndrewFarrow Yep UK - Trafalgar Square - we were - standing on the area between the National Portrait Gallery and Trafalgar Square - we were also told that we were not allowed to use 'London' as a backdrop without a permit - we were escorted away by English Heritage Wombles - whom do not even own the Gallery and we pursued it in court - 4yrs ago. got £3.5K which was the cost of the shoot we had to cancel. We were also told that we could not use fancy dress - it was a musician in silver painted boots!!!!!! Welcome to the UK everyone.
i don't think it was ego, he's just not been used to being pressed the way focus was pressing him, he sincerely thought he was right, which in my opinion is more dangerous than ego, cuz it means he will infringe on your rights thinking its lawful.
Absolutely outstanding once again from the best auditor out there. Ties his opponents up in circles with logic and knowledge of the law, and never gets himself in bother. This is the standard that every other auditor should be aiming for, but can only dream of.
Agree 100% this channel should be the source of - lessons in conduct. News Now Yorkshire is on the right path but needs to refine certain conduct imo. I'm not for one sec suggesting it's easy to remain cool when you know people are clearly vacating their oath of office but it's the only way to make this world a better place. Fighting fire with fire never works. One MUST quench fire with (passive) logic and reason.
Lets face it this guy is a sint but notevery body has the calm skill when being abused under the colour of law. Particulrly when millions fought and died for our rights and freedom.
LOL WOW an idiot who things USA laws apply in the UK! 🤦♂🤣 Any photographing in public is a crime under the terrorism laws! If they decide! as is most things in public! and even private! Bet he would cry if a person stayed outside his house and took photos! LOL
It was Benjamin Franklin who said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety". Great audit :)
schools named after Franklin are having their names changed. you probably wouldn't get to hold Benjamin Franklin up as an authority in america anymore. probably be the same here in the not-too-distant-future
The legend is finally back. With a shadow of doubt the best auditor on the manor. Always calm and humorous, keep up the cracking work and don't ever change. Brilliant 👍
Best UK audits by a mile. Great to see our public servents getting baffled by intelligent conversation and engament rather than just being shouted down. Always humours too... keep it up!
had to watch this again, amazing stuff from 22:00 onwards is complete genius thanks Focus, "you have to understand" "you've got to appreciate" brilliant logic and argument. the dash cam scenario end of conversation
It’s so great to see Hocus Pocus back. He’s gifted in his audits. He is so much better equipped mentally, than all the police officers he meets. His arguments are watertight. His laughter is infectious. His questions are laser accurate. His logic is unchallengeable. I love his work. He’s in the top 5 of the entire community. More please. 🙏🏼
Having just been through Focus' entire channel I'd agree he is the best, so good to have him back in action. I've watched auditing for years, the other four best auditors to make up my top five would be (in no particular order) Kolee, Audit Ed, AB, and Pinac Reports, though he doesn't do audits anymore. I'd say Pinaci News is like the godfather of the auditing community, he should really be in the list too.
Between you & AB, you guys are by far the best at doing public photography & the witty factual sarcastic banter in such a calm & polite manner unless you're required to be a little irrate due to being disrespected in an impolite manner.
Astounding audit. Loved every minute of it. Keep it up. One thing ruined it, 'Chatterbox Charlie' always butting in, he should have just stood there with his hands in his pockets thinking about what him mum was cooking him for tea....
My favourite UK auditor by a 100 miles. He's got everything, knowledge, confidence, humour, self-control, educated, intelligent, excellent communication skills and sharp as a pin. The cops tell him he's not allowed to be here, there and everywhere and FP says 'I am' and then the paid professional 'law enforcer' say's 'oh I'll have to take your word for that then cos I don't know'. Cops don't rely on their knowledge of the law to get people to do what they demand, they rely on the abuse of authority, intimidation, false claims, lies etc. If I got as much wrong in my job as they do I wouldn't be employed for long. The cop thought he was smart, he was well and truly outwitted and knew it. It hurt his ego far more than he showed. Brilliant responses to the 'nice' policeman's paranoia and persistent attempts to get sympathetic agreement with his feeling of un-comfortability with someone filming in a car park.
The officer says no he has never been disciplined or had a misconduct hearing, then his eyes twitch like crazy. He was like Johnny English when you mention Mozambique.
I have a photo of me on holiday in Devon aged 10yo in 1977, i am stood outside the gate of Dartmoor prison, and behind me is a sign that says 'no photographs'. I thought my dad was very daring at the time, now i now he was just auditing.
Best way to disarm Police is through smiling, being charming and being subtle in your use of language. I have never seen a cop that could handle that. They all seem to be equipped solely to deal with aggressive confrontation. By far and away the best UK Auditor on YT.
See his face when you told him to get his hands out of his pockets, priceless 😂 The way you remain calm with your interactions is awesome, it's so much harder for them to deal with💯😁✌️
@@focuspocus3690 He thought he had you when he said thats a police officers car with that smug look on his face but really what he has done is pissed off the person who called in the first place and possibly made his job harder because he is now known as a police snitch, would love to see his face now. great video well educating these idiots and hope it keeps going this way.
By far one of the best audits I have seen. Great educated interaction with the Police officer. Good to see the Police officer interacting in a professional manner. To summarise ,no silly name calling to Police ,no raised voices. I think Focus Pocus should be employed by the Police as an audit training adviser. Keep up the great work.
I love these audits across the globe and this is the first audit I have seen of yours. This has been an amazing and educational audit and is now my No1favourite. It was non confrontational and for once having a police officer that is prepared to discuss both your standpoints. I hope that the police and the general public across the globe will learn something about frank conversation, negotiation and none confrontational interaction. You should make the ultimate head of the UK police establishment and govt minister aware of this interaction and have them use it as a training exercise to all in law enforcement. Well done. I hope that the police across the globe will learn something about good communications with the public. I have to say I also enjoyed all the comments made by others.
I lost my TV remote control 2 months ago,I phoned 999, they were very helpful ,told me it was probably between the cushions on the sofa, it helped me quell my concerns.Money well spent.😉
@@ianhill4585 Ooh! Don't you just love sarcy comments? I'm glad you feel better now. You must have spoken to a detective - I would never have deducted that the control was where he said it probably was!!
Top marks for this one Mr Pocus, the coppers were reasonable enough but you were totally in the driving seat. I reckon they both learned off you here. Great viewing
Both cops seem affable enough but the Paranoia that seems to infect all law-enforcement nowadays, is a threat to any positive interaction. This is part of the disconnect and I think the powers that be want it this way. The talkative Cop seemed brainwashed and unable to comprehend social norms. A good interview but somehow troubling.
I don’t think they’re paranoid at all. I believe the truth is they don’t like it and can’t stand that they’re not in control. That’s why you often get, go away, what you’re doing, give us your name, you could be a terrorist, you’re filming private vehicles, safety risk - anything they can try to throw at you to stop something they simply don’t like. I don’t believe any policemen honestly is scared of a random car they drive being posted online - just a lie.
I'd disagree. Affable denotes easy to talk to and generally good natured. While at certain points this could describe his attitude and his words it's quickly nullified when in the same breath friendly rather abruptly turns rude curtly asking FP to 'jog on' without skipping a beat And does so uniformed, expecting that because he's in fancy dress anything he might 'ask' is not merely a request you're free to accept or decline but rather an order that shall be obeyed or else. This is equally unacceptable as voicing 'not as an officer but as a human' thoughts / feelings / opinions etc. while wearing the badge. And worse still attempting to pass them off as rationale for unlawful orders. Remember, you have to understand, as in if you wish to stand it will be under him and with his authorisation. Insubordination will result in forced submission. Personally, and I'm sure many share the sentiment, I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
@@petermchugh4743 Exactly not paranoia at all. Just the uncontrollable urge to roll out their inflated ego and hand out directives to a lowly member of the public. Attempting to exercise their authority obviously gives them a sense of self worth and in some small way might offer them some balance for all the times the public shouted "filthy wanker piglet" at them that day.
Loved that US military audit you did. I liked how you eased down that one guy who was tryin to belittle them saying "They're not used to photography" and you responded they have the 1ST AM which is stronger in protecting of rights. I def sub'd after that 👊🏽👊🏽👍🏽👍🏽
hi, just recently got into audits & found FP today, very interested to look at the one you mentioned any chance you remember a title or anything pls? Tried a few keywords to find it myself n cant seem to (unless they were based at the RAF base one if so ignore this as going to watch that now!), thx either way all the best fi Scotland, cheers
"You don't deal with the people we deal with." says the cop. No. The photographer deals with much worse than the general public, on a daily basis he deals with Tyrants and Oath Breakers with a propensity to violence and a no accountability when they abuse their authority.
Good to see an auditor that is knowledgeable, calm and doesn't stoop way down to the Grunts level where it all becomes a playground p*ssing contest that achieves nothing.
This is the highest standard of all the auditors, that by which all others are judged. His composition of videos, aerial shots, general standard of photography, use of proper music as opposed to the same unlicensed codswallop others use and his highly intelligent and knowledgable (and witty!!) interactions are all legendary stuff. It'll be a fair while before anyone, British or American, get anywhere near this quality.
I don't want to do a disservice to other auditors out there as there are some brilliant ones but focus pocus is in a league all on his own. Professional, articulate, funny, calm and measured. He operates with surgical skill. I could watch him work all day every day.
The power of an intelligent, articulate and knowledgeable auditor like FP is brilliant viewing as coppers must think oh shit! our usual “current climate” “you must appreciate” etc isn’t going to play…
I used to work in an Unemployment Benefit Office. I had to tell 6'6" ex-cons that their benefit was being stopped. I had no weapons or tasers. The staff car park was public and there was nothing we could do about it. One lady, just a working class woman doing a job to put food on the table had her car burned out on her driveway. What the police are asking here is for their cars to receive preferential treatment. For a special exemption. I can't see the justification for that
The police feel uncomfortable with having their car's and number plates photographed in the police station car park. Well why park it there. If someone wont's to find out their address, there are some simply ways to do it without carrying a shed load of camera gear and sticking out like a sore thumb. The only reason they park there is it's free.
Watching from Ireland.. without doubt this was a brilliant audit.. well done, it was articulate, polite, and showed the police that not all auditors/photographers are hostile.. well done 👍👍
Just watched again for about the fifth time, totally rinsed them in the most articulate, intelligent yet at the same time subtly brutal (if possible) manner I’ve seen from any photographer/auditor I’ve seen, I think the smithy p.c had to have a long period of reflection after this one. Need more from you please
I bow to your verbal Judo skills, Sensei 🖖 His paranoia and ego just couldn't let him accept your astute logic. You are indeed the master (you're flipping funny too) 10/10 👍
Focus Pocus ... undoubtedly the best auditor / PINAC activist in the UK. Intelligent, informed and witty without the aggression displayed by most other UK auditors. Kudos also to the officer you engaged with who was also intelligent, polite and none aggressive ... a good listener too (I would bet he was a great salesman in his previous career in retail. Listening is one of the greatest assets a salesman can have and this has obviously served him well in his transition into a policeman ?). More of the same please from yourself. Thanks .
Though the PC's acted polite, they were on a fishing trip. A legal activity like photography in public cannot be weird or strange, no matter what the subject is, as the police always claims. I liked the way you corrected the PC who stood there as a hork, with his hands in his pockets.
I used to manage fibre optic installs part of my job was to price up and work out routes …. People in a sort of snotty tone would say can I help you I used can you splice fibre instal cable tray they’d so no … my answer was no you can’t then 😀
The power of an individual knowing their rights and the law. Priceless. Oh, rapier wit, a funny bone and a face for behind a camera clearly helps too! Loved it!
That was a fabulously good reasoned argument, very well deliverd and pretty well conclusively proved your point. Unfortunately it only works with reasonable people, luckily he was. Looking forwards to hearing the same argument presented to the average constable. It should have the same result, but I bet it can turn out very differently sometimes ?? Great video. 👍
Somewhat like your typical Covidian. You can't disabuse them of their fears through reason and facts; you cannot reason a person out of a position into which they were panicked. Or, as Mark Twain said, it's easier to fool a man than convince him he's being fooled.
Please do more, it's heartening to see these done in a respectful, lighthearted manner and some of the interactions are hilarious :) Keep up the good work !
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" is a quote and motto attributed to Benjamin Franklin, nobody does Audits like Focus Pocus.
Focus Pocus - a few other auditors have mentioned your exceptionally sharp intellect, and humour; KoleeBerks in particular. So I thought I'd just mosy on over to your channel, and this was the first video I came across. I'm not surprised because they were spot on. You're very knowledgeable and very funny. I love the unconcealed expletives when trying to get your tech sorted out. Great bit of dialogue between you and the two officers (who seemed really okay).
Just love how he knows his stuff and just makes them look stupid with his calm and funny demeanor. Quoting Franklin was a master stroke - they didnt have a clue. And why is James Corden on here? Please do more.
I had something stolen from my property. I had good cctv videos, great quality. Police took 4 days to respond. Never turned up. Just sent an email what their "investigation" entailed. Showed it to a few people. Then closed the case.....
Mate you are the best in the game, love hearing you confuse these Police, we need more videos from you as there are some crap auditors out there and they have no idea. Thumbs up mate.
To be honest I found this a rather good audit nice interaction between both sides and the officer allowed you to talk, Nice arguments from both sides... Love your audits......
I love how you destroy their irrational arguments with logic. They seem lost and clueless how to react. You are the best one out there, no question. You left him a mumbling mess with a burst circuit board. They expect to be listened without being challenged on the law they do not understand and the policies they do not follow.
I watch alot of these police fail videos and really enjoy them I love how people know who the law school the police. This guys voice and logic is by far the most impressive not once does he raise his voice or get annoyed or stressed and he knows which articles and laws to pull out as and when they pull a new opinion out. Well done to you Sir 👏 keep up your good work.
"You don't deal with the people we deal with" - why aren't you out dealing with them instead of wasting your time "having a conversation" with someone who is breaking no laws?

I love these audits across the globe and this is the first audit I have seen of yours. This has been an amazing and educational audit and is now my No1favourite. It was non confrontational and for once having a police officer that is prepared to discuss both your standpoints.
I hope that the police and the general public across the globe will learn something about frank conversation, negotiation and none confrontational interaction. You should make the ultimate head of the UK police establishment and govt minister aware of this interaction and have them use it as a training exercise to all in law enforcement. Well done. I hope that the police across the globe will learn something about good communications with the public. I have to say I also enjoyed all the comments made by others.
You summed it all up with the Lincoln quote , Thankyou and safe travels during your work , amazing abilities to stay on point !
Imagine if the police turned up every time you felt uncomfortable or concerned.
I lost my TV remote control 2 months ago,I phoned 999, they were very helpful ,told me it was probably between the cushions on the sofa, it helped me quell my concerns.Money well spent.😉
@@ianhill4585 Ooh! Don't you just love sarcy comments? I'm glad you feel better now. You must have spoken to a detective - I would never have deducted that the control was where he said it probably was!!
😂😂😂😂
Top marks for this one Mr Pocus, the coppers were reasonable enough but you were totally in the driving seat. I reckon they both learned off you here. Great viewing
Both cops seem affable enough but the Paranoia that seems to infect all law-enforcement nowadays, is a threat to any positive interaction. This is part of the disconnect and I think the powers that be want it this way. The talkative Cop seemed brainwashed and unable to comprehend social norms. A good interview but somehow troubling.
Great articulate point you have made.
I don’t think they’re paranoid at all. I believe the truth is they don’t like it and can’t stand that they’re not in control. That’s why you often get, go away, what you’re doing, give us your name, you could be a terrorist, you’re filming private vehicles, safety risk - anything they can try to throw at you to stop something they simply don’t like. I don’t believe any policemen honestly is scared of a random car they drive being posted online - just a lie.
I'd disagree. Affable denotes easy to talk to and generally good natured. While at certain points this could describe his attitude and his words it's quickly nullified when in the same breath friendly rather abruptly turns rude curtly asking FP to 'jog on' without skipping a beat
And does so uniformed, expecting that because he's in fancy dress anything he might 'ask' is not merely a request you're free to accept or decline but rather an order that shall be obeyed or else. This is equally unacceptable as voicing 'not as an officer but as a human' thoughts / feelings / opinions etc. while wearing the badge. And worse still attempting to pass them off as rationale for unlawful orders.
Remember, you have to understand, as in if you wish to stand it will be under him and with his authorisation. Insubordination will result in forced submission. Personally, and I'm sure many share the sentiment, I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees.
@@petermchugh4743 Exactly not paranoia at all. Just the uncontrollable urge to roll out their inflated ego and hand out directives to a lowly member of the public. Attempting to exercise their authority obviously gives them a sense of self worth and in some small way might offer them some balance for all the times the public shouted "filthy wanker piglet" at them that day.
Loved that US military audit you did. I liked how you eased down that one guy who was tryin to belittle them saying "They're not used to photography" and you responded they have the 1ST AM which is stronger in protecting of rights. I def sub'd after that 👊🏽👊🏽👍🏽👍🏽
hi, just recently got into audits & found FP today, very interested to look at the one you mentioned any chance you remember a title or anything pls? Tried a few keywords to find it myself n cant seem to (unless they were based at the RAF base one if so ignore this as going to watch that now!), thx either way all the best fi Scotland, cheers
A really intelligent man, his arguments are brilliant and his grasp of law baffles the supposed upholders of the law…..
"You don't deal with the people we deal with." says the cop. No. The photographer deals with much worse than the general public, on a daily basis he deals with Tyrants and Oath Breakers with a propensity to violence and a no accountability when they abuse their authority.
Talks about busy with murders.. these lot are busy accordingly/when they feel like it.. crime stats confirm that
Weirdly this is the most accurate and thought provoking statement that I have read after months of watching auditing vids. Well said.
But, isn’t he our hero?
That was just pure logic vs pure ego. What a beautiful interaction stella
Good to see an auditor that is knowledgeable, calm and doesn't stoop way down to the Grunts level where it all becomes a playground p*ssing contest that achieves nothing.
100% agree..!
This is the highest standard of all the auditors, that by which all others are judged. His composition of videos, aerial shots, general standard of photography, use of proper music as opposed to the same unlicensed codswallop others use and his highly intelligent and knowledgable (and witty!!) interactions are all legendary stuff. It'll be a fair while before anyone, British or American, get anywhere near this quality.
I love the way you handle the police very classy 👏 cheers from Texas
Brilliant as always
Shit as always
@@SAM-jc6ib Bit Harse
@@SAM-jc6ib and yet you keep watching them.
Fabulous as always
You dissected his arguments so eloquently I almost got a stiffie.
A wmd.. sect 43 right there!
If the rozzers interacted properly with " WE THE PEOPLE " then they wouldn't have a guilty conscience and maybe not so paranoid,. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I don't want to do a disservice to other auditors out there as there are some brilliant ones but focus pocus is in a league all on his own. Professional, articulate, funny, calm and measured. He operates with surgical skill. I could watch him work all day every day.
Didn't know James Cordon joined our police force 😂
A master class! My goodness, that was impressive.
When an officer is wearing a uniform and badge he/she should only talk about law not feelings or concerns.
I have lots of personal opinions that I have no business going on about at work.
P.C waffles hurty feelings 🤡
I watch numerous auditors and you Sir are by far the best 👏 I just wish you would upload regularly.
Police and auditor both very articulate and zero tension. Bravo.
The power of an intelligent, articulate and knowledgeable auditor like FP is brilliant viewing as coppers must think oh shit! our usual “current climate” “you must appreciate” etc isn’t going to play…
I used to work in an Unemployment Benefit Office. I had to tell 6'6" ex-cons that their benefit was being stopped. I had no weapons or tasers. The staff car park was public and there was nothing we could do about it. One lady, just a working class woman doing a job to put food on the table had her car burned out on her driveway. What the police are asking here is for their cars to receive preferential treatment. For a special exemption. I can't see the justification for that
The police feel uncomfortable with having their car's and number plates photographed in the police station car park. Well why park it there. If someone wont's to find out their address, there are some simply ways to do it without carrying a shed load of camera gear and sticking out like a sore thumb. The only reason they park there is it's free.
Get the bus to work if they are that bothered.
as the man said...change the law...or does that make you uncomfortable ?
No sympathy for DWP staff - they destroy people's lives.
James Corden got new job?
Watching from Ireland.. without doubt this was a brilliant audit.. well done, it was articulate, polite, and showed the police that not all auditors/photographers are hostile.. well done 👍👍
🇮🇪☘️💯
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Auditors needed in Ireland.
By far the best Auditor out there, funny aswell, just wish you could be more active
You are , by far the cleverest auditor I've watched . Happy to subscribe .
Just watched again for about the fifth time, totally rinsed them in the most articulate, intelligent yet at the same time subtly brutal (if possible) manner I’ve seen from any photographer/auditor I’ve seen, I think the smithy p.c had to have a long period of reflection after this one.
Need more from you please
"What's the scope of the offer?"
An Absolute beautiful, quick and funny response. Nice one.
People on watch lists for being national threats get less attention than someone with a camera....just saying.
I bow to your verbal Judo skills, Sensei 🖖 His paranoia and ego just couldn't let him accept your astute logic. You are indeed the master (you're flipping funny too) 10/10 👍
Fantastic video. I love the way you interact with the cops and throw in your hilarious comments. Well done,keep it up.
The rain makes me feel uncomfortable. Life’s full of things that make people feel uncomfortable.
Focus Pocus ... undoubtedly the best auditor / PINAC activist in the UK. Intelligent, informed and witty without the aggression displayed by most other UK auditors. Kudos also to the officer you engaged with who was also intelligent, polite and none aggressive ... a good listener too (I would bet he was a great salesman in his previous career in retail. Listening is one of the greatest assets a salesman can have and this has obviously served him well in his transition into a policeman ?). More of the same please from yourself. Thanks .
Though the PC's acted polite, they were on a fishing trip. A legal activity like photography in public cannot be weird or strange, no matter what the subject is, as the police always claims. I liked the way you corrected the PC who stood there as a hork, with his hands in his pockets.
He was spinning away ... trying to catch a pike.
No luck Haha
"Can I help you?" actually means "What are you doing!"
I used to manage fibre optic installs part of my job was to price up and work out routes …. People in a sort of snotty tone would say can I help you I used can you splice fibre instal cable tray they’d so no … my answer was no you can’t then 😀
This is my first time watching Focus Pocus. I really enjoyed his articulate discussion and his clear knowledge of the law. He has a new subscriber!
The power of an individual knowing their rights and the law. Priceless.
Oh, rapier wit, a funny bone and a face for behind a camera clearly helps too!
Loved it!
Not the most prolific, but certainly one of the smartest and slickest UA-camrs going. Well played 🤘🏼
That was a fabulously good reasoned argument, very well deliverd and pretty well conclusively proved your point.
Unfortunately it only works with reasonable people, luckily he was.
Looking forwards to hearing the same argument presented to the average constable. It should have the same result, but I bet it can turn out very differently sometimes ??
Great video. 👍
Somewhat like your typical Covidian. You can't disabuse them of their fears through reason and facts; you cannot reason a person out of a position into which they were panicked. Or, as Mark Twain said, it's easier to fool a man than convince him he's being fooled.
Excellent audit and wonderful exchange with a very polite and engaging officer.
You are brilliant 👏👏 hats off to you 🤩 great work and I have learned a lot from this video, thank you 👍
Please do more, it's heartening to see these done in a respectful, lighthearted manner and some of the interactions are hilarious :) Keep up the good work !
When you get a notification from Focus Pocus life goes on hold! Nothing is more important than being upto date with your videos.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety" is a quote and motto attributed to Benjamin Franklin, nobody does Audits like Focus Pocus.
Focus Pocus - a few other auditors have mentioned your exceptionally sharp intellect, and humour; KoleeBerks in particular. So I thought I'd just mosy on over to your channel, and this was the first video I came across. I'm not surprised because they were spot on. You're very knowledgeable and very funny. I love the unconcealed expletives when trying to get your tech sorted out. Great bit of dialogue between you and the two officers (who seemed really okay).
easily, one of the best audit videos i have seen....engaging, enlghtenng as well as educational.
By far the best UK auditor. Has the coppers wrapped round his little finger within minutes. Always great to watch. Keep it up.
Just love how he knows his stuff and just makes them look stupid with his calm and funny demeanor. Quoting Franklin was a master stroke - they didnt have a clue. And why is James Corden on here? Please do more.
When the officer is talking about response and deployment times....the average response time to a burgulary being 4 days.
I had something stolen from my property. I had good cctv videos, great quality.
Police took 4 days to respond. Never turned up. Just sent an email what their "investigation" entailed. Showed it to a few people.
Then closed the case.....
What an eloquent and articulate, intelligent argument you put. Very well done. Every copper should be watching this.
Mate you are the best in the game, love hearing you confuse these Police, we need more videos from you as there are some crap auditors out there and they have no idea. Thumbs up mate.
That was an absolute masterclass.. 10 out of 10 ♥♥
To be honest I found this a rather good audit nice interaction between both sides and the officer allowed you to talk, Nice arguments from both sides... Love your audits......
I love how you destroy their irrational arguments with logic. They seem lost and clueless how to react. You are the best one out there, no question. You left him a mumbling mess with a burst circuit board. They expect to be listened without being challenged on the law they do not understand and the policies they do not follow.
They are clueless.
I watch alot of these police fail videos and really enjoy them I love how people know who the law school the police. This guys voice and logic is by far the most impressive not once does he raise his voice or get annoyed or stressed and he knows which articles and laws to pull out as and when they pull a new opinion out. Well done to you Sir 👏 keep up your good work.
As a previous commentator said this guy does things right and makes it very interesting and enjoyable, well done.
Oh its so good your back, quality over quantity. Thank you sir.
Well said.
A bit more wouldn’t hurt though!
Mate you were spot on with everything you said, this is the best audit I’ve ever seen.👍😊
What about Google? Their willingness to lie is incredible.
Intelligent... articulate. Informative .... a new breed of auditor. Well done mate
Love auditors but first time I've seen your channel was today.
I love the way you do it.
"You don't deal with the people we deal with" - why aren't you out dealing with them instead of wasting your time "having a conversation" with someone who is breaking no laws?
