Preston Youtuber speaks out after his video of foul-mouthed police officer goes viral
He said: “Since Covid times there’s been a lot of ‘you can’t do this, you can’t do that’. We need to take a step back in terms of authoritarianism.”
Explaining his actions, he said: “I’m a truck driver for a living and day in, day out, I see kids doing the silly gesture with their hands behind their ears and pulling silly faces. That’s what I did to the sergeant.” He said he was wearing ‘camera action glasses’ with a lens over the bridge of the nose. He doesn’t think the policeman realised he was being filmed.
He said: “A lot of people might say I was antagonising the officer, and that’s a valid point. But it’s about challenging the way things are going.
