UK Police Officer Threatens a Man With Section 35 But Can’t Explain What Section 35 Is 🤦♂️
Officer: “It’s under Section 35 Act.”
Man: “Section 35 of what?”
Officer: “It doesn’t matter what.”
Unbelievable. When calmly asked to specify the law behind her threat, she clearly didn’t know and got defensive instead of professional.
Of course it matters what power you’re threatening arrest under. Officers should know the basics of the laws they quote, not brush it off like it’s irrelevant.
