Do viral videos authentically show the British porn actress known as Bonnie Blue being arrested? No, that's not true: The police vehicle is painted to look like police cars in Britain, but licensed to a prop service that provides cars to film and video makers. If the actress, born Tia Emma Billinger, had been arrested, England's notoriously competitive press corps would have produced multiple stories, none of which were found in a search of evidence-based news sites.
The video, one of at least two of her with men in "police" uniforms and near police cars, was posted as real in a May 21, Instagram post (archived here) where @bbfreshers added a caption: "Bonnie Blue got caught".
Here's what the post looked like on Instagram at the time this fact check was written:

Lead Stories searched GoogleNews using the search terms "Bonnie Blue AND arrested AND May 2025", finding only clickbait stories from celebrity news sites, not from news organizations that adhere to basic journalistic standards. Among the search results, a headline on The Daily Star, (archived here) which hedges its story by calling it an alleged arrest, and attributing the details to "a worrying instagram post". Because of several infamous stunts, Blue's arrest would be mainstream news.
In the supposed arrest video posted to the actress' Instagram account, the woman under arrest is driven away in a police car bearing the license plate R023 HRM. That is the plate on a car advertised by Police Car Hire UK, a prop service that provides cars for tv and film production. That plate also appears in photos on the company's website. Here's a comparison of the car as shown in the supposed arrest video and the same car shown in the prop service's social media posts:

Another video of her in the same clothes and setting, posted to X, (archived here) does not show her being loaded in the police car and driven away and does not afford a clear view of the license plate.
Blue is no stranger to publicity stunts. British Channel 4 announced in May 2025 that it is preparing a documentary about her accumulation of a large social media audience by claiming, among other things, to have had sex with more than 1,000 men in 24 hours.
