Cops in an unmarked car dramatically seized an MCN camera after we took their picture in North Wales on Sunday.

The officers had been waiting in a lay-by on the A5 secretly watching thousands of riders heading to our meeting in Betws-y-Coed. A marked patrol car was positioned further along the same route.

When questioned by MCN, the covert officers first claimed to be “monitoring traffic”. But when MCN produced a camera they instead claimed to be armed response officers and threatened to seize the camera if pictures were taken.

Asked under what powers the camera would be taken, an officer couldn’t answer and instead simply repeated his threat – so our man began recording the exchange.

The officer then said the side of the car could be photographed. But when our man quickly fired off a snap the officer snatched the camera, claiming he could be endangered.

He handed it back after our man persistently asked what powers it had been seized under

it all sounds a bit overly paranoid to me...whats the guy so scared of....?
in the first place...if i was carrying firearms....I certainly wouldn´t let someone else who might also be armed know about it....this cop is an idiot...and is unnessecarily displaying uwarranted verbal aggression....I imagine that it should be trained to know key signals of aggression etc and I do not see how taking pictures of an unmarked headlice car whether or not the license plate is in view...constitutes any possible threat to the pea brained cop in the picture...he is in my view endangering himself by allowing his personal body space to merge with that of the potential aggressor in his view ....from the tone of his voice as in the cop he sounds agitated...and looking for some sort of confrontation...rather than adopting the much more sensible mode of being humble and quietly driving away....as far as i know it isnt against any law to take pictures of a car or police....neither under any laws real or imaginary should taking pictures of police armed or not constitue a threat...in my view this or these police officers should be dismissed from the police immediately....for a disgraceful show of disrepect and erbal aggression tinged by dangerously out of control paranoia....to the clearly harmless motorcyclist...and unwarranted threatening behaviour....we cannot have and will not have police officers misusing thier powers to bully or physically / verablly initmidate harmless memebers of the public....this will not do....I thought the police were to protect us all...not to threaten and harm us
ASSHOLES?

Its obvious to me that these persons in a uniform are being goaded by their senior officers to act in this disgraceful manner. They have become what I've always feared they would become - arrogant thugs with powers we gave them and we pay for to attack us at every juncture.

All part of the NWO agenda.
