Rofl, if this isn't bullshit, those cops must have either been bored out of their minds or just had a good sense of humor.
This is the law enforcement equivalent to a little kid yelling "BOO!" at you, and you pretending to be scared.
"Whaaaaat, you're arresting -meeee-?!?! Oh noooooo!"
Narrator voice: "it was bullshit"
You can inform a police officer that he or she is under citizen arrest. You can call the police and have an officer come out with the paperwork, which YOU have to sign. If the arrest is false, YOU are liable both criminally and civilly.
No way this isn’t satire
No apparently a video exists of this.
I’ve been vaccinated for COVID 5 times over the last 3 years, and have received various vaccines over 41 years. Slowest. Euthanasia. Ever.
You joke, but since you got the jab I can guarantee you will die.
(Just not any faster than normal...)
Thank you for the reminder there is probably a new version I'm missing.
That's it, you have done it now. You are hereby attested!
As an American: I'm really sorry if we infected you with this particular brand of idiocy. If only there were a vaccine...
Someone's going to reply: education is, but I offer PragerU as counter-evidence. There's a quality scale in education, as well.
Don't worry. My country's bible belt has been used in epidemic studies for measles long ago. It's not just 'Murica.
I frequently have youtube up on my TV for background noise.
PragerU and those AI generated ads talking about free money are things I see far to frequently, and make me far too irrationally angry.
Oh no mate, this is all our own madness.
Anti-vax sovcit? Mark my words - with that level of conspiracism and entitled self-victimisation, they'll be a full-blown Nazi by the end of the year.
It's always the Jews with these fuckers.
Well if they didn't have fucking SPACE LASERS pointed at my favorite PIZZA PLACE.
Let's do the math here people. P. I. Z. Z. A. What ELSE has 2 Z's??? That's right. Nazzis. They're extra Nazi. And the only way to fight nazzis is with Nazïsm. We need all the Nazis we can get to fight the Jewish space cosmonauts, who will break open the fermament and send us all careening in to the great blue void.
The situation is dumb, but citizen's arrest in general is covered by laws in some counties, UK being among them.
In specific situations, a random person on the street can arrest a criminal lawfully.
And under the correct circumstances, you can even lawfully arrest a cop.
Technically. Good luck actually pulling it off.
Ah, but do they have the right to un-arrest?
De-arrest*
You have to use the correct magic words or they don't work.
This is the UK law for citizens arrest really the most important difference between this and a police arrest is the police can arrest you with the intention of finding out IF a crime has been commited, whereas you must know a crime has been commited by the person you're arresting, otherwise it's just kidnapp
Absolutely, they can. I did it several times as a security person at Walmart. The biggest difference is that a citizen does not have immunity to being sued, and a citizen can not transport. You better be damn sure you're right, or you're getting sued into oblivion.
American here, how do you de - arrest someone? Over here once you're arrested only a judge // jury can say you're not guilty, the person that made the arrest, or the police don't have any say in that part of the criminal justice system.
If you're de-arrested you're not locked in a cell (custody). If you're released after questioning it's being de-arrested. If you're held in a cell during any of it you can't be de-arrested, you have to be "released without charge".

"de-arrested" is not technically the same as "released without charge". The key difference in terminology is whether the person is taken into custody and processed, says a spokesman for the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo).

TLDR:
Can't the AG just decline to prosecute and release you? Being arrested =/= being charged after all.
It happens all the time. Officer makes the decision to arrest, puts the person in handcuffs and the car. A supervisor shows up, a story gets changed, or an officer finds out that something proves someone is lying, and the person is released. I've seen it happen when a non-violent offender had warrants, but it turned out they were having a kid's birthday party (discovered when the dad came out to check on the mom because she'd been outside 'smoking' for longer than usual).
Arrested is a step up from detention. Detention = you're not free to leave. Arrested = you are not free to go, you're coming with the officer to jail, and they have belief you committed a crime that you will be charged with (or have a warrant, thus already charged). There is nothing that says once arrested an officer can't take off handcuffs and let you go. There really isn't that much distinguishing the two in the law, except for statutes about identifying yourself (where I live, anyway). My laws use the word custody in far greater amounts than arrest.
As a fellow US citizen, my American brain can also not comprehend this. How do you de-shoot someone?!
I can only assume he said "you're arrested".
He probably wrote it in red ink at 45 degrees on the cops’ shadow.
That's exactly what he did. He just kept asking one officer to arrest the other officer and they all refused and just stared at him like he was a nutjob.
Eventually he just declared they were arrested.

By the (lack) of logic of the antivaxx, we all should be dead.... 2 years ago.
I'm trying to figure out their logic, they identify as a non-U.S. citizen, but believe they have jurisdiction to make arrests in another country? What is the plan? To detain or abduct members of a foreign country? I'm fairly certain that would be considered an act of war. Better make sure he isn't armed or he'll trigger article 5 of NATO and he'll be at war with several countries.
It will happen next Tuesday at 1pm.
I've been vaccinated multiple times and each time I died within a year later. /s
It's been 3 years since we all started getting vaccinated. Surely we'd all be dead by now.
The video footage followed?
I really really really wish these people would try this to cops in America. The more dead anti-vaccine morons, the better.
I strongly suspect the UK officers came to have a laugh at their expense when told some idiots were trying to "arrest" the police.
"Mate, you need to come round here and see this wanker"
Are these arrested police in the room with us now?
