He refused to provide his details under Section 50 of the Police Reform Act and began filming officers during the interaction.
A police spokesperson said: "The officers soon realised that he wasn't giving his details because he was wanted by police for multiple thefts from shops across Ipswich, as well as this he was arrested for S5 public order."
Another man was arrested during the shift for multiple shop thefts and a prison recall.
Officers also seized two illegal 750w e-bikes and an e-scooter capable of reaching 54km/h.
