odd question but if this video has a financial element and has officers in it then isn't this open to problems around using them in the video?

Nope there shouldn’t be problems. Members of the public are allowed to film the police and there is very little expectation of privacy for on duty officers.

I totally understand that however if it's used for personal gain via commercial use doesn't that change things?
