UPDATE: Cambridge JobCentre Plus

[johnscott]

LEGALS.

Everything you said is correct. Here you’re talking to the “monkey not the organ grinder”. The Job centre have obviously done nothing at all. States of alert are meaningless in Law. All that matters is the Law, and the threats of assault which were heard.

First legal question - does he /they admit the assailant was him? [yes I believe] Next, does he admit those words spoken were his. [I believe yes]. The best place for him to prove his defence is in court, not some monkey saying “it doesn’t meet a threshold”. Let him prove you pushed him first. But that’s all irrelevant, as yes, common assault is the words he used. As an absolute minimum it’s a s5 public order (we all know the wording by now).

Yes, the words are enough - the Police are clearly siding with the Government corporation. Next step threaten the inspector with IOPC unless CA and s5 are actioned - then do it if no action. But they will simply hand it back to them for investigation! It’s all a sham. Personally, I smell corruption here. They don’t like being recorded, so don’t like you, so won’t help you. This is an offence under the Police Reform Act.

Consider the common assault in the park during Covid on the scientist. It was successfully pursued because there was a political will. Simple as that.

Finally on the LEGALS, if they arrests and charged him with that offence it probably will not go to court anyway, the guy will admit guilt. Remember, this is a monkey, just like a car salesman going back and forth to his manager on a car sales deal. It’s a trick. A technique. Don’t fall for it. “Self defence” being stated by him actually means in law he’s already admitting it !! So charge him and let him present his case to a magistrate. He will of course lose…

Don not fall for the weak management monkey trick.

Do not let the Plod get away with this offence under the PRA 2002. Report that offence by the inspector to her Chief Constable and demand it’s followed up by a superintendent within 14 days. Cc your MP. Cc Priti Patel. Cc IOPC Cc your Police and crime commissioner, cc your local paper Cc The Daily Mail. Make the inspector worried about how big this is going to be.


It requires a will. With the media behind you, (they’ll link the video on their website), the Force Management will wet themselves. It’s what they hate the most.

Good luck.

Never confuse 'the law' with justice; The law represents authority and the system. Justice represents integrity and the truth.

[Fractalchemystical]

Funny how the police are scared of being followed home and attacked and jump on you for merely filming their cars in a car park, yet when a citizen is actually in reality followed and assaulted then they can't be bothered to do anything about it. Words fail me, the only word I have for it is DISGUSTING!

[camwat]

What is disgraceful about this is that the police are looking for what they can’t do and not what they can do. The D.S. is a disgrace. Keep pushing hard. These feeble excuses are an outrage.
All the very best of luck.

[user-wu]

This is blatant cover up, they do not want this backfiring on their local council as they work together every single day.
I would take this to a news outlet and have it blasted everywhere. Send the videos to other auditing channels including the American ones like San Joaqin etc.. Make sure you send all the videos along with context, timestamps etc..
There has been a lot of controversy on Job Centres and how they are run.

You could also stick up a funding page if you want to take this to court.
Leave a honest review on their google page and other platforms.

The fact this was dismissed with substantial evidence is outright unbelievable. (You were followed, harassed and assaulted by a civil worker after leaving the premises entirely. The following alone is very serious if you can prove the intent.) What time did he finish work on that day? What time was his lunch? What was his reason for remaining around the area at that time? Was he 'going to the shop' while on the clock? What did he obtain from the shop?
Go to that shop with a picture of the suspect and ask if he purchased anything from them on that day.
These police officers put 1% effort into investigating incidents like this, they have not obtained all evidence.

There's no doubt there are also cameras around the area that captured the incident. (You can LEGALLY request ANY CCTV footage if you're captured on it, this includes the Job Centre footage inside and out)
Don't trust his word on the no cameras bsh!t, more and more cameras are being installed every single day in the UK.
Go walk around the same area and take note/photos of the CCTV cameras and where they are located. You only have so long before you won't be able to obtain this footage, so this should be #1 PRIORITY. Look out for cameras/doorbells on houses too.

Not to mention it also sounds like the suspect has been lying in a formal police statement.
Don't forget your right to protest either, just don't put any slanderous comments on any signs. You can attract a lot of attention through the ways of protesting outside the Jobcentre, police station, local council. There is an upcoming election in May so doing this outside the council would be the most beneficial.

Put some details into your description so new people reaching this video can understand the context.
Create a new edited video that shows all the important parts with timestamps, link the original unedited videos in the description.
LIST AS MUCH INFORMATION AS YOU LEGALLY CAN ON ALL PEOPLE INVOLVED!
INCLUDING THE PERSON INCHARGE THAT DISMISSED THE CASE.

[luppe]

Absolute perfect example to the fact that the Citizens are "on Your own"...Justice is in Our hands !

[justincredible]

Incredible ! get attacked they do nothing. Stand around legally filming and they'll find a way to arrest you.

[PINACI]

If the police won't take it further then take it further through civil action. Contact as many solicitors as you can with a link to your footage asking them if they could take the case on in a NWNF capacity. If the police and the CPS choose not to take it further then you can talk until you are blue in the face but you will never get them to change their mind and I also believe that because of the nature of your videoing is the reason behind their decision not to take it further. Police retaliation by not taking action.

[mikeyoung]

The Police response was predictable. However, the Job Centres failure to terminate his contract is absolutely disgusting.
He is clearly a risk to the public, and his conduct (irrespective of whether a prosecution follows) is sufficient grounds for an instant dismissal.

You should seek legal representation.

[AndyPandy]

This is absolutely disgusting. I was slowly loosing respect for the police after watching auditors but now I have zero respect for them.

[richardjones]

And this video neatly sums up why the general public has lost total confidence in policing in the UK - ALWAYS taking the side of the business/organisation as opposed to the individual. Notwithstanding that, there is always the option of a Private Prosecution.

[TheSadButMadLad]

4:25 Even if the manager was going to the shop. That only gives a reason for his following you, not for the words he spoke and the threats he made. You still feared an assault from his actions. Such piss poor detective work by the police who put PC 920 in the position of a scapegoat. There is no way PC 920 has enough experience to properly explain everything to you and to fully understand the ramifications of the failure for the police to uphold the law.

[nonenone-vtcg]

This is a clear case of failure to exercise a police power for the benefit of another, under section 25 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015.

[Christopher-m]

Mass of audit of that job centre is needed from the auditing community.

[retroclickmedia]

So if it was self defence he must have been defending himself from you. Why then are they not charging you with assult? They clearly believe that it was self defence so they must believe that you were assulting him

[pbysome]

Used to be called threatening behaviour.
It isn't their job to decide, the CPS has the say, not some snot nosed recruit.

[IRISHTRANSPARENCY]

No further action! Absolutely disgusting behaviour from these pigs. Fair play for doing what you did following this up. But this is not right, that animal gets a training course.

[PhotoBombomb]

ABSOLUTELY DISGRACEFUL. please find out what further action we can take as a group. He can not get away with this.

[lawrencebaker]

Please do not let this go. It is very clear who was the aggressive one. Please keep us up to date with the case. We are all behind you with this. Such a disgusting person and he is in charge of a job centre. He needs sacking at the very least. He is a danger to everyone. But the police always go down on the corporate side plus it is to much paperwork to do for a common assault so they have NFA it.

[chillsterdlux]

COME ON ALL U AUDITORS WE NEED U GOING DOWN HERE EVERY DAY FOR WKS 1 AFTER ANOTHER GET IT ORGANISED LADS AND LASSES GIVE THIS LAD SOME SUPPORT ✊✊✊
