A father has filmed the moment he confronted a police officer after she confiscated daffodils from his daughters.
Rosemary, ten, and Emily, five, had picked the 27 flowers to give to their gran and mum on Mother’s Day, however, were told they were breaking the law.
Their dad, David Taylor, 31, decided to film the incident after he became incensed with the way the situation was dealt with.
He can be heard protesting in the video that the flowers were taken from public land but the officer claims he had ‘committed a criminal offence’.
The carpenter was on the way to visit his mother when his daughters picked the daffodils from the verge near Berryhill Park in Mansfield.

Fairly obvious that dad didn't want to spend a pound down the petrol station and told the girls to pick the daffs. The children probably didn't realise but at the end of the day people have to learn that just because something is growing there doesn't mean you are entitled to pick it.
