I’ve had a lot of experiences with the police. What I found most bizzare is that I used to work along side Cheshire police with regards to various “police incidents” in specific circumstances.. Yet I used to get stopped by Cheshire Constabulary for “looking shady” and “matching the description of a *add lie here*”.. I was at the point where I’d leave a scene and take badge numbers and say to whoever stopped me “I’ve been working with your colleague ****** tonight”.. 5 minutes later after checking out my ”story”, it would always be “sorry to bother you sir”. I had no time for any of them in the end, if I worked 4 nights a week I’d put money on getting stopped 6 times. I don’t slate the police, I defend them when and where I can, I certainly couldn’t do their job but there are still some absolute bellends, as with every industry.

When I was growing up, I had a cop living on the same road as me. Nicest guy you could ever meet. He got me into airsoft (and trouble a few times doing it). Got my mates into it and we used to compete with the local police station, even the local fire station got in on it. Kept us out of trouble and brought us closer to the first responders in our area. Those where some weird times 🤣🤣

The rules and regs regarding "getting stuck in" while off duty have always been somewhat of a grey area, and some lads and lasses seem to always be in the wrong place at the wrong time 💩🧲 These daysFIMs/FDOs/Comms Supervisors etc do seem to have more consideration for your situation and welfare when you shout up via 999 off duty, especially if its a violent crime in progress. At the end of the day you're throwing yourself into a potentially risky confrontation without PPE, vest, Airwave, Job vehicle and the such, so they'll quite often advise you not to go steaming in, but to observe and report till backup arrives, unless there is clearly a significant threat to life. DVs are the worse to come across when off duty. Bad enough dealing with them on shift, let alone walking home from the Red Lion after a few sherbets!!

One of the best channels on KZread.

The way police officers are forced to live by the duty they live by is actually honourable, they live in fear of being followed home, and being attacked due to their profession, I could never live with having to change my life to make sure people don’t follow me home. It would be awful. And people who call officers every name under the sun, who risk their lives day in and out being a hero, in their spare time is unreal. They are only trying to get the peace that we need and remove the dangers from the streets. Big respect to them, paramedics, firemen etc. all deserve golden medals.

Thank you for sharing your experiences and also mental health issues with us, unfortunately i don't think the general public are fully aware of what you guys have to do and see on a daily basis and how it can affect you mentally, because your human the same as everyone else but i don't think alot of the public see police that way, you put your life on the line everyday you put your uniform on to protect the public and i really think that the general public need to be aware of how your work affects your life and mental health, it's not just the armed forces that suffer with PTSD.

York Magistrates Court has heard how a man was arrested for breaking a 145-year-old law on being drunk in charge of a horse. Robert Milner, 49 was arrested at the Swan Hotel, Milford, North Yorkshire, after police received a complaint of damage to a car in the hotel’s car park. The officer who attended the complaint suspected Milner was drunk, observing him holding the reins to a horse and cart. Milner had been at the hotel for a family christening and had been letting children take turns riding in the cart with him. The cart had apparently clipped another vehicle as he was riding around the premises’ grounds.

Always wondered about how police officers deal with this. It’s bad enough for most people to even think about work during their time off whereas bumping into the dross of society who instantly recognise you and treat you with contempt when you’re out with your wife and kids? Really difficult to imagine that life. Discipline and respecting law enforcement are lessons for everyone and taught by the people I respect the most.

i fear for all our future if a person choosing a life of public servitude is abused one second then expected to "do their duty" to statistically the same person abusing them in their free time...just remember before you call them "pigs" that these "unselfish" people are the very people you NEED and never say NO when the shit hits the fan..All i have to say to Mr Pearson is, thank you for your service.

Subtitles for the person behind camera was a good addition

Respect to you Ben. Such a shame you could never really switch off from the job. It's by the time people grew up and started acting their age instead of their shoe size.

What Ben isn’t mentioning is it works both ways… Only yesterday I was sat outside in a beer garden having a quiet drink. And I could overhear sat on the next table, an off duty police officer. Who was bragging to his mate about how much he likes to fight people and “wrap them up” . One example he used didn’t even sound like a violent criminal but a vulnerable person who had mental health/ learning difficulties. That off duty cop sounded like an obnoxious prick.

@@serenityinside1 I dunno, I've heard people asked why they became police officers, and they've said "so I can have control over people." The reason Ben has all these experiences is that he goes looking for it, because being a police officer is the core of his whole self esteem, and being able to big it up with his warrant card in a bar during a fight makes him feel big and clever. The problem is that when he calls his mates in that situation dozens of them turn up, whereas if we call the cops in those situations we're lucky to get one guy a few days later. British police are very variable and a lot of what Ben comes out with tells you why.

Bunch of authoritarian dickheads. Officers never need to give advice, they should either use discretion and let you go or they charge you. They are not qualified to give advice, they are there to keep the peace. Their Advice doesn’t do anything to help it’s always stuff even a kid would know, therefore it’s just to satisfy their ego.

@irigouis88 You clearly have a bias too though, everyone does. I got the gist of what you were saying, the rest didnt matter. Advice is never appropriate from the police if they are trying to arrest you, its always information that is very obvious to the person and the officer is only doing it to gratify himself. I can watch multiple channels with different views, the auditing channels are usually baiting the officers but the officers should not get baited by a man with a camera to start off with. Even on police propaganda shows like police interceptors they make themselves look like dickheads, chasing after people with no insurance constantly whilst houses are being burgled etc or stopping people for a completley unrelated offence then finding cannabis in the car. Far too many negative things outweigh the postives of the police in the UK these days. Get them patrolling again and it might be different.

I live in an place where one end of my road is in one police forces area, the other end is a different force; those officers are diametrically opposing. The one force are fair, kind, consistent and fair. They are orders of magnitude bigger than the other and always crazy busy but when I've needed them, they've always come through. The other are openly aggressive, rude and have the distinct reputation of 'Deliverance in a stab vest'. It's all good fun here 🤣 Still have a lot of respect for our boys in blue, providing I don't have to deal with dodgy ones ha!
