Policeman 'orders driver to remove B******* to Brexit car sign'

David Mercer, news reporter 10 hrs ago

Essex Police is investigating claims that an officer ordered a driver to remove a "B******* to Brexit" sign from his car.
Peter Cook says he was a passenger in the Mini Cooper - which had the anti-Brexit message emblazoned across it - when it was pulled over on the M25 near Brentwood on Sunday.
Footage posted on Twitter purportedly shows the officer standing next to the vehicle as a man - believed to be the driver - crouches down to remove the phrase.

In the video, Mr Cook is heard describing the officer as "very aggressive" and claims the officer told him he could not even say the word "b*******" because "ladies may be present, even though they're not".

"This is absolutely shocking," he adds.

"Here we have the long arm of the law being used to shut down any form of protest.
Back in January 2013, then-British Prime Minister David Cameron declared that he is in favour of an in-out referendum, sometime in the future, to create a new settlement for the U.K. in the European Union (EU). It set in motion a series of negotiations between the two bodies over the former's withdrawal from the latter, popularly known as Brexit.
We take a look at a timeline of the negotiations and some of Brexit’s most important developments so far.

Mr Cook said the officer had claimed that displaying "B******* to Brexit" on the car was a public order offence, according to The New European.
He told the pro-EU newspaper that he and the car's driver spent 20 minutes removing the letters B, O and L before the officer allowed them to leave, and the sign now reads "locks to Brexit".
An Essex Police spokeswoman told Sky News: "We are trying to identify the officer from the video footage to establish the circumstances around what happened.

"In the meantime, we would encourage the driver to get in touch with us."

However, Essex Police has not commented on whether it considers displaying a "B******* to Brexit" sign to be a public order offence.
Nottingham Magistrates' Court reportedly ruled in 1977 that "b*******" was not an obscene word in the case of a record store manager who had been arrested for displaying the Sex Pistols' debut album Never Mind The B*******, Here's The Sex Pistols.
Earlier this year, the Liberal Democrats MEPs wore t-shirts including the phrase "B******* to Brexit" in the European parliament.


Actually there is more to this story and this is merely a portion of the story, allegedly as before this they stopped him on the motorway and tried to force him to remove it on the hard shoulder of a live motorway and he was that scared of being hit by another vehicle, he considered calling the Police himself because he was in fear for his life, now, is this legal. This would only be a summary offence at worst and does not carry the power of arrest so we already have an abuse of a position of authority, unlawful detention, fraudulent stop, and many more things.

Accountability Integrity Openness Fairness Leadership Respect Honesty Objectivity Selflessness

1. Honesty and integrity I will be honest and act with integrity at all times, and will not compromise or abuse my position.
2. Authority, respect and courtesy I will act with self-control and tolerance, treating members of the public and colleagues with respect and courtesy. I will use my powers and authority lawfully and proportionately, and will respect the rights of all individuals.
3. Equality and diversity I will act with fairness and impartiality. I will not discriminate unlawfully or unfairly.
4. Use of force I will only use force as part of my role and responsibilities, and only to the extent that it is necessary, proportionate and reasonable in all the circumstances.
5. Orders and instructions I will, as a police officer, give and carry out lawful orders only, and will abide by Police Regulations.

3.1 Introduction 3.1.1 These standards reflect the expectations that the professional body and the public have of the behaviour of those working in policing. They originate from the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2012 (for police officers) and the Police Staff Council Joint Circular 54 (for police staff). Standards of professional behaviour 3.1.2 The Code has adapted the wording in the Regulations and Circular 54 so that it applies to everyone. However, in misconduct proceedings against police officers, the formal wording of the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2012 will be used.
Standards of professional behaviour
I will give reasonable instructions only, and will follow all reasonable instructions.

6. Duties and responsibilities I will be diligent in the exercise of my duties and responsibilities.
7. Confidentiality I will treat information with respect, and access or disclose it only in the proper course of my duties.
8. Fitness for work I will ensure, when on duty or at work, that I am fit to carry out my responsibilities.
9. Conduct I will behave in a manner, whether on or off duty, which does not bring discredit on the police service or undermine public confidence in policing. 1
10.Challenging and reporting improper behaviour I will report, challenge or take action against the conduct of colleagues which has fallen below the standards of professional behaviour.

If officers are driving around feeling faint at the sight of mildly offensive language then they are a danger to themselves and everyone around them and should be relieved of their duties with immediate effect.

Interesting to read, so I hate the words lice and Po-lice so should we all report them for driving around with these words on their vehicles and state "we all find them offensive" and they are causing me harasment and distress, and replace them with new signs saying "potentially corrupt t*t heads inside masquerading as authoritarian figures" instead.

Thats a very true observation , Their uniform ,covered with weapons of all types , their demeanor
and everything associated with them is designed to intimidate.
