      Also, rewatch the video every time the main guy running the scam picks his mat up 2-4 people will move with him. They have 2 duties one to make it appear like there is a crowd and something to be interested in and the other duty is to pick unsuspecting people's pockets.

    - this is an organised crime group, they have lookouts at both ends of the bridge when police comes.
    - they look where people keep their wallets and will try to pickpocket them.

      It's seems to be a trend across Europe (+ UK) to have a reluctant police force, even when you'll have the criminals on multiple tapes caught in the act red handed and know where they live. The police's reply? We'll have to catch them live while we patrol otherwise nothing happened (almost verbatim reply). No wonder the impunity continues and is increasing yearly on all types of crimes.

      I've been trying to get action for over 14 years. The only bit I have managed to get, is the met ordered to report the crime on the home office crime system.
      I took a complaint to MOPAC and won on review. Very rare that. Then the met failed to tell the head of crime reporting about the order.
      So if you make a 999 call, get a CAD, you need to follow it up to see if its been recorded. If not its a slam dunk win on a complaint.
      So the idea.
      Film them. Call 999. If you don't want to do this, I will. Wait and see how long it takes to respond. They won't by the way. Then go and start videoing, New Scotland Yard and the MOD. See how long it takes to respond.
      Then of course you can challenge those officers on ignoring the 999 call. Personally I'd make the 101 call for the complaint in front of them. It would be interesting seeing the reaction of a complaint being made in that way.

The insiders were easy to spot and I told one of them that it was a clever scam to which he replied 'thank you'.
    Scandolus that it's still on in 2024.
    The way to beat it is to put your foot on the one you think the ball is in. Then turn the other 2 cups over.
    If it's not under the 2 you just turned over then it's in the one under your foot (or the dealer will have to turn it over as well and show everyone the the was no ball).

We thought he was nicking the scammers but as we got closer we found out they'd pulled a teenager who was riding a bike (or trying to!) they were 'letting him go' with all the attitude of a typical Met cop... he had just finished his shift at a well known store (still wearing uniform) looked a bit upset, as they drove off he said to a bystander "I'm just trying to get home man!"

      The signs get ripped down or defaced and many people simply do not read them. The only thing that works is CCTV with a well funded Police force with strong ties to immigration enforcement and a judicial system which is supported with enough legal aid and jail cells. All that requires appropriate funding but the money has to come from somewhere and those 1% with the power to make a change do not lose if these scammers are there or not, they only lose when that funding goes to the 99%. If it's not an election issue or benefiting their pocket, do not expect anything to change, that's modern day politics and society in UK.
