If you know you have something obviously relevant to an arrest, or injury, or an obvious abuse of police powers then it would be good to draw it to our attention by emailing legal[at]climatecamp.org.uk. We are requesting all witness statements come to legal[at]climatecamp.org.uk with the date, time and location in the subject heading for ease of later reference.

In terms of what we would be interested that might otherwise not get covered but would help with future campaigning:

- we would be particularly interested in footage of portable police security (metal detector) ‘arches’ being used for searches without the usual search formalities of s2 PACE information (officers’ name, search power, availability of search form) and search forms – there is a difference of opinion as to whether such arches are searches

- some really good footage showing the usual lack of police epaulet/shoulder numbers, eg. police kettle, walk around showing the entire circle of police officers and their absence of numbers and then their explanations for their lack

We need to produce a training film for legal observers so footage showing them at work (calling in arrests, involved with searches, recording near police lines etc is helpful and general footage of searches is useful).

It would probably be really helpful if there was (ideally) one place where all footage was uploaded with tags that include date, time and location as that is the easiest and quickest and most reliable way for lawyers and protesters in this context to search for relevant material.

Thanks.
