As someone who has been stopped, repeatedly, in London by the police for taking photos, this short documentary really hit home for me. The film maker is shooting pedestrian video shots in Oxford Circus when a police officer stops him. The officer shoves the man on camera then claims he didn’t. The officer tells him he can’t video tape on the street when the law says you can and finally tells the man that because he isn’t a tourist that he can be arrested for ‘behaving suspiciously’ and then to ‘shut up.’ It’s completely despicable.
