You’re filming for fun? I don’t believe you

The video is about an Italian student who was filming buildings in the city of London. While she was filming the UK police stopped her to inquire what she was filming. The police stopped her because they thought she was linked to terrorism. The police interrogated her many times but after a while she responded that she was an art student. The police got vexed and came with four police officers and arrested her. The student’s declared that she was thrown on the ground and was brutally treated and got a fine of 80 pounds because she caused public distress.

I do not think the police should of acted the way they acted but at the beginning of the video the police asked politely why she was filming and she responded in my opinion very rude. The police has a job and that is to ensure public safety and that is why they enquired about her filming. I do understand because nowadays there is a lot of terrorism attack and it is better to be safe than to be sorry.  However, the way that the police handcuffed her and mistreated her was absolutely out of place and she should of issue a complaint against the police.
