I'm sorry but i don't see the point you are trying to make in this case, ttmacoy is right.

Whether that Nigerian is innocent or not does not matter, don't resist an arrest simple.

The police will definitely tell you why they are arresting you and then say: "I am arresting you for [They crime they committed ].
You do not have to say anything, but it may harm your defence if you do not mention when questioned something which you later rely on in court. Anything you do say may be given in evidence. Do you understand?

That Nigerian was just being typical Nigerian trying to play race card

Siena:


Spot on. He deserved to be treated the way he was.

Boss nice to see you in this section again after how many years of leave of absence?

Mr J, I trust you and the family are doing great. You're doing a great job here too.

MIPNIG:
Come back brother... In Nigeria you can't be treated like this.

That is why I always advice people to always carry African jazz for body. Beat me and drop dead

AjayiWrites:
The UK police today maltreated a Nigerian citizen, though the reason was not unknown, but the police was caught hitting and slapping him while the man was saying why are you hitting me, I am not a criminal...

Please watch and share

What did he do before we comment?

MadamT:
The British Transport Police issued statement over the incident.

IMO, statement did not address hitting the man with a baton. But I'm sure all will be thoroughly looked at in due course.

Have you blamed Buhari 2day?

You are wrong, police do if you resist an arrest.

As many suspected here he dodged paying for train ticket but had the gut to say he is not a criminal and resisting an arrest.

Of course you are a criminal bruv.

erico2k2:

Let's be objective. Is fare dodging a criminal offence?bro u of all person should know this or yoy just joking?

Siena:


Bro, fare dodging IS a criminal offense. You can earn a criminal record for fare dodging, there are posters all round train stations, on trains AND buses.

They dont.if you have done management of violence and aggression yoy wo t say that.the police are trained to use restraining tactics. None of them involve the use of a weapon unless the suspect is percieved to be violent. They can grab him. Hold his hands backwards put him on floor and handcuff him then get him up..

Prosecution for fare evasion

The Railway Byelaws make it an offence to travel without holding a valid ticket and being able to show it on request. A breach of this byelaw is punishable in law and, if found guilty, you would be subject at present to a fine of up to £1000.

An operator can also prosecute for ‘intent to avoid a rail fare’ under the Regulation of Railways Act 1889, s.5 (3) and you may be fined or sentenced to imprisonment for up to three months. Transport Focus may be able to help or advise you if you have received a court summons. However, we recommend you also seek legal advice if you are being prosecuted

The industry introduced in May 2013 a Code of Practice on dealing with passengers who either have no ticket at all or whose ticket is invalid.

Siena:


The term "criminal" is pretty broad, and covers a multitude of offenses. If you are prosecuted for ANY criminal act, you COULD end up with a criminal record. The only aspect that is weighed upon the gravity, is the sentence handed down.

Even with all the evidences posted here and online you are still arguing about this? Bro you need to refresh your browser because I don't know where you get your material from

ttmacoy:
Really, there are escalation levels for getting handcuffed? Really?

There are escalation levels for dealing with different levels of suspects I agree [/b]e.g. if the suspect is armed more force will be used, but it is basic for suspects to be handcuffed to protect both the police and the suspect. [b]The police do not have to handcuff a suspect, but they are within their rights to do so based on their judgement and will not negotiate with you on not being handcuffed simply based on please don't handcuff me I will follow you.

We do not know what transpired before the video started so we are speculating about the cause but if the police have reason to arrest you and want to handcuff you do not really have the right to say no. the procedure is you obey, follow them to the station, give your statement, you have the right to call a lawyer and defend yourself.

Thanks for the insult btw, shows you can conduct a mature conversation doesn't it?

Officers attended the station following reports from staff of fare evasion, and a man, aged 40 and from Thamesmead, London was subsequently[b] arrested[/b] on suspicion of fare evasion and two counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm (ABH).

The man has since been bailed to Sunday, 13 March pending further enquiries.
