By the look of that picture I'd say they were in town to reclaim some Philly cheese steaks for the empire :p

Philly cops teaching the Brits? Those guys will all get in trouble when they get back to England. Philly cops don't play by the same rules as everyone else :P

This must be part of that very special relationship we have with Britain. Now they are sending their police to our cities? Nice.

Having lived in Philadelphia for four years this is certainly the truth...although part of me understands their position seeing as though every patrol car that goes through North Philly gets shot at on a daily basis...

See the article...the bobby brought his video camera...Big brother is watching...well once they review the tape. The infiltration has come to the west coast as well. One of the police officers on the Pasadena police has a thick British accent. I have yet to see him in his neon yellow jacket. I'm sure he's just a regular cop lol. I wonder what the public thought. I'd wish someone would have stood up and said "HEY! We kicked your ass 232 years ago. You want some more!? GET OUT!"
They might have been arrested though

Along with heavily-armed Amtrak police, the unarmed British Transport Police officers - don't call them Bobbies - screened the baggage of train passengers bound for New York City and Washington D.C.I cannot accept that.

I cannot accept that.

Can't accept that they actually screened passengers or meaning you would have stood there waiting for a police officer with actual juristicion?

Louis Theroux is the refined British guy :p He just constantly looks like he's gonna piss his pants, but he does do many scary things...he lived with the Phelps family for his series too if I remember right (the 'God hates gays' church that protests at soldiers funerals, etc.)
