Wake UP and see whats happening all around, peoples rights are being screwed over by the police, using any act they can think of just to do so.
There are examples of this all over the web.
He was released without charge, so obviously someone at the station saw sense.
He committed no crime and was not doing anything illegal, he was 100% correct in what he said - you are not required to give your details to the police just because they ask for them.
You have to have broken the law first or they must have a good suspicion that you have (and be able to explain what their reasoning for it is).

Where you there, as an eye witness?
The police said they were alerted by members of the public, because of the suspicous way this group were acting. It seems with good reason, given all the information regarding the associated groups they are aligned with.
I'm more inclined to believe the police, mainly because I suspect my suspicions would have been raised by them too.
The police seemed friendly and professional, and there seems to be no reason that they'd lie.
Although the group happily filmed the police, as well as members of the public, they seem quite camera shy themselves, which is more than a little ironic.
If people can't see these people set out on a confrontational mission with the police, as Cashy said, there's more than one plank about.
Besides, we know what the police looked like, but have no idea as to the appearance of this group.
