After the teenager was arrested, the police refused to take details or statements from the many bystanders who had witnessed the demo and the non-crime.
The police then seized the videotape of the action in an attempt to stop the truth being shown.
The video link below shows the police refusing to take witness details/statements and then telling the demonstrators lies - ie that the use of a megaphone on a demo is illegal under the Public Order Act.
Two complaints have been sent to the IPCC - one for the non-taking of witness details and the other for lying about the use of a megaphone being illegal under the Public Order Act.
The video of the arrest and illegal acts by the police can be seen here :
