Can I film or photograph a bailiffs ID?


Yes

The best way to capture a bailiff's Photo ID is to ask them to hold it up to your Wifi video doorbell camera.

It is the practice for bailiffs to show a fake photo ID, usually a police-like warrant card and a badge,[1] or point to a sticker on their body-worn camera, often called a video badge, so you have to get close up to their camera to see it.

The best way is to ask the bailiff to hold their court issued photo ID to your camera.
