it may have just been that the cop was suspicious of people he didn't know. England is a small town and probably doesn't get a lot of outsiders - and these guys were filming something and therefore suspicious.

When you think about it, hassling folks obviously video recording guarantees you will be video recorded.

The cop got fired AFTER the the video was posted on the internet - not when the complaint was made. Nevertheless, the police chief gets some credit for doing the right thing.
