UK Superintendent Orders a Terror Search — Instantly Schooled by a Genius Auditor

What happens when a UK Superintendent invokes terrorism powers against a member of the public… without lawful grounds?

In this video, I visit Mitchum Police Station to film marked police vehicles from a public place — a completely lawful activity protected under Article 10 (Freedom of Expression). What starts as a calm audit quickly escalates when a Chief Superintendent and Inspector threaten a Section 43 Terrorism Act search, demand ID, and refuse to check their own NPCC guidance.

Despite being informed about the National Police Chiefs’ Council memo — which clearly states that filming outside a police station alone is NOT grounds for a Section 43 search — senior officers double down and attempt to have junior constables carry out an unlawful detention.

What happens next is the real story.

Three uniformed officers arrive…
They listen, think critically, and de-escalate a situation that senior leadership escalated unnecessarily.
No search takes place.
No detention.
And the truth comes out on camera.
