No way man. Has to be an order. an inexperienced PC wouldn’t arrest someone for taking pics. And a home search without a warrant would surely need to be authorised by at least Bob Cryer.

it was just inexperienced coppers being thrown under the bus by the superiors who actually made the decision

I don't have a high opinion of some of the inexperienced coppers either FWIW.

I listened to that...
I'll readily accept that some thick/inexperienced/poorly trained copper can't tell the difference between a press card and library card but inexperience cannot explain the 14h detainment but and house search...
I was also very surprised at how ready to accept this 'inexperience' bullshit their expert correspondence (Danny Shaw?) was.

World at One is suggesting it was just inexperienced coppers making a mistake. It's bizarre to arrest someone and search their home when they have a press card, which is usually issued by the Commissioner of the Met.
