The man needs smaller cameras and more police subjects.

The police don’t need a reason for their actions in a police state, something Britain is on the verge of becoming.

5’11’’ and 170 lbs. A real giant. The women in my family are that big.

However, he does record that the WPC stated she had felt threatened by him when he took her picture, referring to his size - 5' 11" and about 12 stone - and implying that she found it intimidating. Anyone who feels "intimidated" by a 5'11 man taking pictures of them probably should not be an officer of the law.

John Alden, the “Tall man from Boston”. Was accused of being a witch because he was tall.

Actually, I heard that someone saw his near-perfect teeth, and correctly assumed he was not an Englishman.

“...arrest and de-arrest...”
You can get “de-arrested” after you've been arrested?
So how do you answer the employment application question “Have you ever been arrested?”?
Does the “de-arrest” make the arrest go away like it never happened?

“Turner claims he was handcuffed, held in a police van for around 20 minutes, and forced to provide ID before they would release him.”
He must be a black college professor. We all know that this only happens to black college professors.........

LOL The height of silliness.

The British have it much worse than the USA. The petty arrests and harassment are much less common here. (But being a photographer, I can tell you it happens here too)
