In this video, News Now Yorkshire shares an encounter with police officers from the Humberside Police Department, specifically addressing the misuse of Section 50 of the Anti-Social Behavior Act. The video highlights the need for better education and awareness among police officers when it comes to understanding and applying the law correctly.
The video begins with the YouTuber approaching a traffic stop in Hull, where a vehicle has been seized due to lack of insurance. The conversation quickly turns to the topic of police corruption and the abuse of Section 50. The officer being questioned admits that if he were to witness another officer abusing the act, he would challenge them. This interaction sets the tone for the rest of the video, as the YouTuber and his team attempt to educate police officers about the correct use of Section 50.
After further discussions with the police, the YouTuber receives an apology from Professional Standards for the unlawful use of Section 50. The video then shifts to Cluff Road Police Station in Hull, where they hope to see if officers have been educated about the appropriate use of Section 50. They engage with several officers at the station, discussing the Anti-Social Behavior Act and their rights to film in public spaces without being subjected to police harassment.
