Security Guard Tries to Detain Cameraman — Police Step In and Set the Law Straight

🚨 Security Guard Threatens Handcuffs in Public — But Does He Have the Power? 🚨 What begins as a calm act of public filming quickly escalates into a heated confrontation when a private security guard claims he can detain and handcuff a member of the public — all for recording in a public place. 📍 Filmed on a busy UK street, this real-world encounter exposes a serious misunderstanding of authority, as security repeatedly demands filming stop, physically obstructs the camera, and ultimately threatens detention — despite having no lawful power to do so. 👮‍♂️ When police arrive, everything changes.
