FIT at Convergence Centre.

A. Snapper Esq. | 12.09.2005 10:09 | DSEi 2005 | London

Short video and stills of FIT team outside the anti-DSEi Convergence Centre.

Video 1.8 Mb Quicktime movie. - video/quicktime 1.8M







Our police try to undermine the human right to peaceful assembly and to freedom of assembly by ostentatiously photographing everyone entering the Convergence Centre. Since they could probably achieve even better photographic results using covert methods this is very obviously overt intimidation. People not used to this kind of treatment are deterred from attending meetings.

It makes me laugh out lound when liberal activists sound aghast that the police follow and photograph them.

'i cant believe they arrested me'

If you want to confront the state be prepared for intimidation, brutality and repression.

police intimdation is expected and has been duely served, this doesnt mean that its all ok and something that shoudnt be mentioned. they havent stopped anyone from entering they're just trying to make people feel uncomfortable about doing absolutely nothing wrong. a perfect example of a complete and utter waste of police time.

Did you guys hear about how in the US, this guy in Long Island, New York went and posted the photos, phone numbers, and home addresses of NYPD undercover police officers on the internet? I think I read about it last year in the Daily News.

I'm at the convergence space and some of us have rechristened the F.I.T. the Police Intelligence Gathering Squad - P.I.G.S. Pretty much cos we're bored up here on the roof watching them watching us.
