I didn't mean they really thought a camera were a gun. I mean UK cops will "suspect" people filming with a camera of being a terrorist (as if aiming the camera were like pointing a gun).
"anonymous" downvotes aren't a good replacement for an actual response, but you do you.
and I’m saying it's not a common occurrence, intentional or not.
Guns aren't common enough in the UK for "they've got a gun" to be a go-to for the police.
"They've got a knife" or "They’ve got a sign the ruling class don't want people to see" are more likely.
As another poster pointed out, it has happened, but it's by no means the norm.
