Messing with an "auditor"
There's a trend online of people filming main gates of military and police sites to supposedly flag flaws in the security. In actual fact its to wind up whoever is on the gate by acting suspicious but staying within legal rights of being on public property therefore we have no jurisdiction. Doesn't stop us having a polite word with them. Onec such lad was filming the gate of our unit and rightfully so the fella on duty gave us a heads up to a suspicious individual. I go out as it was one of lads on gate and he said he heard the guy saying that the guard had no gun. So I walk over phone straight lifted into my face "May I ask what you are doing sir?" He wentvon a blabber about he was public land and he knew his rights yada yada I just smile and inform him "I understand that but you got to understand why we may consider your actions suspicious and this is a main access to the site so there is a lot of traffic". I just leave it at that and politely bid him farewell as I walk back to the gate pull up my radio "it's ok corporal stand down" within ear shot of him.
I'm sorry just because the lad checking passes might not be armed doesn't mean there won't be others nearby who are. We are marksmen here we don't need to be close.
I'd love to see him try that shit with the black guard those Scots are crazy.
