They then realised that it is only illegal if there is three or more , I was on my own,they made a mistake and uncuffed me. The QPS do not know the law that they are enforcing. This is the video footage of my arrest- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4Y6EDA9oxY And here you can clearly hear the officer say why he is arresting me https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPi_98W05V4&list=UU9NEf9haGcR1X9iT7RfTG7w and here I resume videoing after they took the cuffs off and gave me my phone back https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz7Rlqlq5G4&list=UU9NEf9haGcR1X9iT7RfTG7w
The issue I had with them is one officer not identifying himself. They took exception to my insistence for that officer to identify himself. Keep up your honest reporting Angelo Garozzo
