Ridiculous seizures by Police at climate camp

Coming soon... Police to routinely confiscate house keys to prevent potential criminals from evading capture by going home :D
 
"I even heard of one case where police confiscated a camper's soap on the basis that it could be used to make them slippery and evade capture by police."

:eek: :D
 
Police in "lying cunts" shock. Seizing items useful for terrorists, horseshit, you just took whatever you could and spun the story to the media. You're a fucking joke, cops. A fucking joke. You dance to the tune of your political masters, enforcing the Nu Labour way of life. I dunno how they sleep at night knowing they're protecting the public from soap and blanket based terrorism.

They certainly did everything they could get away with to try and stop the camp from going ahead, and did so while (as usual) claiming to be facilitating peaceful and lawful protest.

All they really succeeded in doing was helping to radicalise a great many more people as far as I can see.
 
A blanket combined with soap could be used to give someone a prison-style beating.

Perhaps they were onto something there... :hmm:
 
If you think the police are bad you should have seen the shitstorm when my fellow protestors discovered that I'd turned up to the first climate camp with my Nintendo DS. It was a birthday present FFS, what did they want me to do, burn it? :eek:
 
"You can't wear those shoes, sonny. They might help you to evade capture."

:D

Make the protesters wear these...

The Met hard in training for the summer of "rage"*

*raging 'somethings' in any case! :hmm:
 
the article doesn't mention that the cops seized three sets of the War On Terror board game as well. Very dangerous
 
The police were right to take the clown outfit. every horror film has a clown in it ,and Mc Donalds burgers thats creepy.
 
Bakunin, Your missives from the front were much appreciated at the time.

I'm intrigued though by the Assistant Chief Officer's statement:

"...need to protect protesters who traspassed on the site as Kingsnorth is very hazardous for people without the appropriate training and safety equipment"

Are we to assume that you personally had received the necessary training and were equipped with the correct safety tackle?
 
Revealed: police databank on thousands of protesters

Films and details of campaigners and journalists may breach Human Rights Act

Police are targeting thousands of political campaigners in surveillance operations and storing their details on a database for at least seven years, an investigation by the Guardian can reveal.

Photographs, names and video footage of people attending protests are *routinely obtained by surveillance units and stored on an "intelligence system". The Metropolitan police, which has pioneered surveillance at demonstrations and advises other forces on the tactic, stores details of protesters on Crimint, the general database used daily by all police staff to catalogue criminal intelligence. It lists campaigners by name, allowing police to search which demonstrations or political meetings individuals have attended.

Disclosures through the Freedom of Information Act, court testimony, an interview with a senior Met officer and police surveillance footage obtained by the Guardian have established that private information about activists gathered through surveillance is being stored without the knowledge of the people monitored.
 
This will probably get lost at the end of a thread like this, but anyhow.
Footage obtained by The Guardian from a FIT camera showing members of FitWatch being arrested at kingsnorth.
They were trying to take photos of an officer who refused to reveal his number.



All charges were later dropped.
