[music] All right. >> Oh, the gate's open though. >> Yeah, but it's still a private tax. >> Is it? >> Who pay Who pays for this? >> That's not the issue here. The fact is you can >> But the gate is wide open, so doesn't it? There's Well, there's an implied right of access. >> There absolutely is. >> No, there isn't. >> Okay, I'm [music] just going to call my son. >> Would you mind identifying yourself? >> All right. Yeah. No, I'm not here like for to cause [music] you any problems. >> You're not, but you are on private premises. >> Private meaning what? This is a police station. You have an occupational lease for this place. >> Public don't have access to a private car park. >> Well, clearly they do cuz the gate's wide open. [music] >> Your details, sir. >> I'm not required to give any details. >> Okay. Please could [music] you do stuff like What difference does it make if I stood here or that you're filming private and a private place? [music] >> Yeah, but they're >> finishing. I >> can't. I'm afraid. >> Yeah, you can. >> I can't. I'm choosing not to. >> You absolutely can. We're asking. >> You're not going to put hands on me. >> Well, I haven't. Yeah. You're not going to do that. >> No, you're not. You don't need to. >> But I don't understand why you're not listening to what I'm saying. >> I don't need to listen to you. So if your gates's open on your house and fly right there is an impart that's right film everything around if it's open you can yeah >> but not in this private area you >> oh I know but this is a police station this isn't my house >> not public access >> but this is a police station >> this is a state service it's a police station >> but it's paid for by the taxpayer my tax funds the upkeep >> you don't pay tax >> you pay tax on tax >> anyways as anybody else so you just splitting heads >> you're in a private area. Can you please leave? >> No. >> Right. Okay. Let me just say to myself. [music] >> The rain falls hard, soaking the ground as the camera rolls toward a police station, standing cold and guarded. The gate is wide open. No barriers, no warnings, just access. Or so it seems. What begins a simple filming quickly turns into a tent standoff. Officers step in, calm but firm, drawing a clear line. Private property, but the challenge comes just as fast. If the public pays for it, can it really be private? The argument tightens with every second. Rights versus authority, access versus control. No raised voices, just pressure building in the silence between words. Then it shifts. Consent is withdrawn. The space is no longer open. And just like Tarta, simple question becomes the center of it all. When does access become trespass? anyone. >> It's not about >> I'm not obstructing, disrupting. >> It's not [music] about obstruction >> or harassing anyone. >> You not having access to a private area. >> Okay. So, >> are you also >> What could I possibly do in here? >> So, you're filming >> and I can film them. >> No, not in a public place. In a private place. If you're in public, that would be fine. But you're not in a public place. >> But this becomes a this becomes a public place cuz the gate's open and there's there's access to it. That that is an implication of access cuz the gate is wide open. It's really that simple. >> But that isn't the case. Well, it it is the case cuz objectively the gate is open. >> That's the case that we have just removed our consent for you to be on this site which means you are no longer allowed to be here. >> Okay. >> Is that correct in terms of rights of access? >> I don't know. >> Well, >> do you own Are you the landlord? Do you do you own this? [music] >> I work here. >> Okay. >> I'm protecting this site and I'm requiring you to leave. >> Okay. [music] But you don't this isn't you. This you don't own this property. Do you have an occupational lease for the property? >> Do you >> to do a state service? No. But this >> you go then you're not allowed to be on the car. >> Yeah, but there's an implied right of access. You can't inhibit my right of movement. >> Yeah, you can. If we're within a private area and you should >> Okay, but what could I possibly do here? >> It's time to leave. >> It's not time to leave. [music] >> Yes, it is. >> No, it's not. >> Can you walk out with me? >> No, I can't. >> If you could explain to me what it is you think you're going to achieve by filming here and also why you think you don't have to do what I'm asking you when you're on a private premises. >> I don't have to because this is a police station. If this was a private company or something >> and you're repeating it, Could it be a private place if it's paid for by the taxpayer? It doesn't make sense. >> There are private areas in this world that are paid for by tax payers. You know that as well as anybody else. >> Then why is the gate open? >> You're not inviting people in. >> It's not an invitation to enter. [music] It's access gate. We do. We would love one. Go and see our PCC just >> Okay. So until then, you run the risk of people just just wandering in here. >> Well, and you wandered in here and we would explain to you. >> And I'm not obstructing I'm not impeding anyone's anyone's work. I'm not disrupting anyone. I'm not obstructing >> now because you're taking up my time [music] and I should be doing something for a vulnerable victim discussing this with you and we've explained it to you that you're on a private premises as we shouldn't be here. [music] >> I'm not stopping you. What can I possibly do here? Do you suspect I'm going to commit a crime? >> We're not able to leave. >> Do you suspect me of committing a crime? >> You leave the premises. >> Well, trespass is a civil matter. So, if you've got actual crimes to be solving, as you say, with vulnerable victims, your time may be better allocated to to serve those victims. >> Then I can go and serve those victim. >> Yeah, but I'm not I'm not committing an offense here. You don't have any You don't have any purpose here. >> Do you? >> Cuz this is a civil I absolutely have a purpose here. This is a civil matter. >> What is your purpose then? >> My purpose is to come here and film. >> To [music] film what? >> You anything I choose right to be on private >> anything that the taxpayer funds >> filming? Well, they [snorts] don't fund purpose. >> Okay. How do we proceed? Cuz I'm not going to leave. >> They don't fund personal vehicles, sir. >> No, but the car park in which they're parked in. And under the Criminal Justice Act, this becomes a public place. So, I've got every right to be. Absolutely does. Correct. >> Because the gate, bro, the gate is open. You should just close the gate. Like >> your mis broken law that is landlord allows access [music] to land. >> No, >> it is not under the to allow properties. You need >> you need to ask the ordinance survey for references to free access to land. You're incorrectly stating the law. >> Oh, no. But there's an implied right of access. So, this becomes a public place. >> No, there is. There is none. So, [music] going to ask you again, sir. You're on the private premises and I'm asking you please to leave. >> And if I don't, [music] >> there's no compensation, but you've been asked to leave. >> I don't want I don't want a I don't want a confrontation. >> Hello. >> Okay. I'm I'm in charge of speaking. >> Are you recording? >> I am recording. >> Let me know, please, before you start recording. >> Are you recording me? >> I am. Yeah. >> Let me know you're recording me. >> I know. That's in your policy to let me know before you start recording a member of the public. >> My colleagues are what's your name? Can I call you by your first name? >> I'm I'm not going to give them any names, I'm afraid. >> Why? point that >> I'm not required to. >> You aware that you're committing civil trespass at the moment? >> Is it civil, you said? Yeah, >> it's a civil trespass. >> So, it's a civil matter. It's not a criminal matter, is it? >> No, you you are committing civil trespass and you've been asked to leave. So, is there any particular reason why you don't want to leave? >> Because the police station is funded by the taxpayer, so I have a right to come here and film it. The gate, Sergeant, has been left wide open. So, it's a implied right of access. >> But, no, it's not implied right. >> Well, it is cuz the gates wide open. >> Gates wide open to [music] let police cars in and out. >> Okay. There's no there's no implied right if you were to leave the your front door open in your house. >> There's an implied right of access. >> It's not an implied right. >> Of course there is cuz the gates cuz the doors open. >> It would be trespass as you say but it's a civil matter. >> You're wrong. So it is it is a civil trespass. >> Yeah. But I'm not here to commit any crimes. >> But you have been asked to leave. This is private property only for police officers. So you have you got um any identification? I don't sir. No to prove you're a police officer [music] or a member of police staff. >> I'm not. No. >> You're not a member of police officers. So you are trespassing. You admit that then? >> Yes. >> You're committing civil trespass? >> Yes. [music] >> So, can I have your name and details, sir? >> No. >> Why not? >> I'm not required to give it. >> Sorry. >> I'm not required to give it. This is a civil matter. You don't have any purpose here cuz I haven't committed offense. I'm not planning to commit an offense and it's not aggravated trespass because I'm not obstructing or you talking >> because then that may be an offense. >> I'm being very calm >> and I'm being calm as well. >> You are now you're smiling and laughing at me. >> The tone tightens as the debate turns legal. Trespass is raised, but only civil, not criminal. The filmer doesn't back down. No crime, no obstruction, just a camera and a point to prove. Officers push harder, citing ruler stimian control. The open gate now stands at the center of it all. Requests come. Refusals follow. Neither side moves. >> There's no such thing as civil offense. That's an oxymoron. [music] >> You are put in civil trespass. >> I am. Yeah. >> See, you'll find it funny. You're doing it for a laugh. I'm not doing it for a laugh, mate. >> Are you Are you an auditor? >> Yeah. >> Is this all going to go on YouTube? >> Yeah. >> So, I can't just leave. >> So, what what what do you get out of that then? >> What What purpose is it? >> The purpose is to film from public places, from private places if they're implied. >> This isn't This isn't a public place. I've told you now. >> I know, but the gate's open. S I'm ask I'm asking you to leave. >> I don't want to leave though, cuz this is the whole point. I can't just back down and and and submit because I can't. >> So, do you expect us to back down and submit? >> Yeah. >> Well, now you need to leave. It's appropriate. >> I don't want to leave. >> I'm asking you to leave. No, >> I don't want to leave. >> Why not? >> Because I've got a right to be here. I'm not here to commit any offenses. >> You don't look cuz I'm not obstructing anyone's work >> and I'm not distracting anyone. [music] >> This is the place and you are required to leave. >> And if I don't, >> I'm asking you to leave. >> And if I don't if you don't, I'm asking you. >> Okay. You've asked and >> as a member of the public, I'm asking you to leave. >> Are you a member of the public? >> No, you are then. >> Yes. >> I'm not. I'm a police officer. >> I'm refusing. >> Why? >> Because I don't want to. >> You trying to provoke reaction? >> No. >> But why [music] is that? >> Because I've come here to film. I need to film. >> You don't. Why do you need to? >> Because this is what the public want to see. They want to see how their tax money is being spent. If I want to come and wander around the car park that has an impired right of access, then I can wander around the car park and film. >> We are told this is private land. Not allowed to be here. >> Yes. But under the Criminal Justice Act, it becomes a public place. [music] >> Yes, it does. >> No. Never. It's never a club. >> It does because the gates wide open. I haven't jumped over any fences here. I haven't >> Where's the legislation on the crib? >> Technically, that's the implied right of access. But again, this isn't I'm not talking about people's houses and private property. This police station is paid for by the taxpayer. So there's there's there's an incentive for me to be here. >> This is private property. Am [music] I right? >> I understand that it's a private property. But again, the whole police station in itself is paid for by the taxpayer. I'm >> asking you [music] to leave, sir. >> Okay. Well, if I don't, >> please can you leave? >> And if I don't, >> I'm asking nicely. >> Okay. And no, no one's going to put hands. >> And it's not a personal thing. I'm not going to put a [music] hand on you. We've been having you've been laughing. I've been laughing. We can't see that till the last. Am I just asking you from one colleague to another please leave a bill? [music] The log is still coming on. >> Okay. I don't want to force I don't want to put you guys in a position where you're going to have to get hands on that, but I think it's a bit petty. Like, well, I'm not really I'm not honestly I'm not here for no trouble. I'm not here like planning any offense. I'm not about to commit an offense. If you could just leave me to it, I'll probably be I'll probably be gone. >> We're not going to leave each other. >> Why though? >> Because this is private. >> If you just leave, I'll leave. >> Right. So, if all my colleagues and I all go in there, you you you will leave. You'll go out there straight away. >> Yes. [music] >> The standoff peaks as calm voices demand one thing, leave, and the response stays the same. Refusal. Both sides hold their ground. Public interest versus private control with the open gate at the center of the argument. Tension builds quietly and the risk of escalation becomes real. By and the end, a decision is made to walk away. No forcino arrest, just a tense encounter resolved by restraint.
