Photos of two suspected undercover cops at Radical Media demo







At the We Make Radical Media, You Make Adverts demonstration last month, these two men showed up and took a close interest in the demonstration, including two climbers with banners up lamp posts.

After being photographed, they took the photographer to one side, bent his arm back and shoved him against a wall, and asked him what he was going to do with the pictures. They said they were cops and he shouldn't blow their cover. They behaved in a rude and offensive manner and seemed really distressed that their pictures had been taken. When asked to identify themselves they let the photographer go.

These pictures are being posted so that other activists can look out for them on future demonstrations.

I've had the unfortunate pleasure of running into these two scumbags before. They are british transport police undercover cops (head quarters just round the corner from where the picture was taken). they operate a lot on the victoria and northern lines. they are dirty little fuckers.

spread the pictures far and wide.

Not undercover - but plain clothes

I would say that a better word to use, would be 'plain clothes cops'. I haven't met either of these myself, but it sounds as though they aren't trying too hard to disguise that they are police.

I guess they are simply just cops on duty that are wearing civilian clothing so they don't stand out. This is common on public demonstrations - I've seen well known police on demos wearing plain clothes, who, if asked would admit to being an officer - but don't announce it.
