Shopping malls are often privately owned public spaces, and sometimes your rights are unclear. In closed shopping malls, it might be best to stop filming, like the one in this video. On the other hand, it is definitely best not to do it threaten and assault someone who refuses to do so, and this angry mall might have the right things to explain.
While this is true, the buyer is unmasked (or removes his mask during the confrontation), but it’s clear that the policeman is not crazy.
BONUS: we are in scotland.
Ah, it just knocks a little out of your hand, yeah?

“We acknowledge that the actions taken by members of our security team fall below the high standards of professionalism that we and our customers expect …” writes Neil Mackie, manager of the mall, in a statement. “The act of producing videos or photographs is prohibited under the direction of the Home Office in privately owned places open to the general public, and this is clearly stated at every entrance to the Kingsgate Mall. Appropriate manner for Mr Newton . “
“Would it be funny if I fucked you out, eh?”
