Not quite accurate, but I understand your confusion.They're supposed to inform you at the earliest opportunity that you are being recorded.

Yea.... amusing viewing.
A cop who has some suspicion, and their tool to further investigate..... is to stop and search the person..... and either prove their suspicions (and lock em up) or not prove them (free to go)!
Walk off...... thus perhaps causing further suspicion. The cop is well within their rights to arrest them on suspicion of whatever they think the may have, or may not have been up to ...... if you've done nothing wrong.... worsening the situation.
We need to worry about creating a system of police who are afraid to 'police' and just get involved after the event!

Thanks for that, I can see that it's not written in plain English, no wonder it's interpreted in so many ways... It must be extremely difficult for police constables to remember and interpret this correctly.

Yes agreed.
Plenty of undeniable crimes are committed before people's very eyes that could result in arrests, but it seems to not be the way that policing is conducted in these times.
On the information provided No.

As BWV is overt recording, officers must declare wherever possible when they are commencing audio and video recording during each and every encounter. The use of BWV must be proportionate and necessary to the situation. BWV use should be 'incident specific. 'Good one
If you carried on reading, you’d find the below…
“However, as a general rule, where an officer is in uniform and is clearly carrying or wearing a suitably identified camera (clearly labelled as an audio and visual recording device) this condition is considered to have been satisfied”
Which is why most forces have now opted for doing just that, or having a camera with a big colour screen on the front.

Providing it’s all bona fide, I would be happy for my grand kids to be stopped, it shows the police are out and about. If a choice uniformed police only,
But a patrol is a patrol and worth supporting
Plain clothes can throw a shadow on it without a doubt but the more it happens safer the streets
Police have a crap job anyway good to see they are mixing with the good guys going about their normal life

Announcing and commencing recordingUsers should ensure that they check their camera at the start of their shift, andperiodically during their shift to ensure it is functioning correctly and has sufficientbattery. At the start of a recording, or as soon as practicable, the user is to make averbal announcement that they are recording both visually and audibly. Thisannouncement should be in clear understandable language, tailored to the subjectsthey are communicating with, considering any disabilities or impairments.Users should specifically ensure that this is complied with when operating in plainclothes, or in a private dwelling, as per the case of AB v Hampshire Constabulary,first decision under new IPT rules - The Investigatory Powers Tribunal

Stop and search: police powers
A police officer has powers to stop and search you if they have ‘reasonable grounds’ to suspect you’re carrying:- illegal drugs
- a weapon
- stolen property
- something which could be used to commit a crime, such as a crowbar
- serious violence could take place
- you’re carrying a weapon or have used one
- you’re in a specific location or area
Before you’re searched
Before you’re searched the police officer must tell you:- their name and police station
- what they expect to find, for example drugs
- the reason they want to search you, for example if it looks like you’re hiding something
- why they’re legally allowed to search you
- that you can have a record of the search and if this is not possible at the time, how you can get a copy
Removing clothing: police powers
A police officer can ask you to take off your coat, jacket or gloves.
Police powers to stop and search: your rights
The police can stop and question you at any time - they can search you depending on the situation.

It seems that the OPs granddaughter complied with the police and treated them with respect. Well done her.
I would hope and expect that we all behave like this. The police’s job is difficult enough as it is without idiot YouTubers antagonising them for 5 minutes of fame.
