Let’s just say… you have that freedom but who says they can’t get rough before you get a chance at some actual policing when you are in front of the Sargent.
They are on edge and jump at the opportunity to arrest someone for even a simple infraction, what makes it worse is that, resisting, talking back, swearing and in anyway make the police officer technically feel “upset” or “afraid” can add more to the case, so you can imagen a mouthy person getting manhandled like this person.
They love it.
Edit: some spelling
P.S Don’t get me wrong, there are good cops but its pay is shite, its just a job to some and the lack of funding is a joke. also for real, corruption needs to be addressed.
There is no equivalent of the first amendment in the UK - we don’t have the right to freedom of speech in that sense but do have freedom of expression (from the Human Rights Act if nowhere else).
It is an offence to say hate speech or commit certain offences against public order (which the police claimed in this case).
Effective the UK operates on all speech is legal unless it is legislated against, which hate speech is.
Is freedom of speech not protected there? Or are the cops that much of a cunt that they ignore it?

Contempt of cop is the only actual crime in any juristiction.
I figure it might be like here in the US. Nobody stops cops so they can enact vengeance at will
