At least one officer from the FIT (Forwards Intelligence Team) were spotted on the critical mass without their usual blue-shoulder uniforms on and on bikes!
Sergeant CW 36 seen here (
http://fitwatch.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html) at Climate Camp was seen on a bike with the regular bike cops on the Critical Mass. Have they decided to give up their climate killing cars and use peddle power to continue their agenda of intimidation? Have recent FITwatch actions made them think twice about being so open? Is this just one cop deciding to be a bike cop for a change?
Either way people should be aware that just because they can't see FIT it doesn't mean that the cops they see about them aren't also gathering intelligence.

It is about taking the Panopticon to the people - deployed apparatus of surveillance, as well as pervasive opportunities to gather data in the performance managed, computerised logic of pattern recognition that modern states, as societies of control, favour. The ECHELON is by no means an anomaly, or a grander version of the power to gather and to know. It is the model of surveillance, a diagram of control, the blueprint by which governments will, and have, seized power. Our entire commercial industry has captured us: we are the dairy cows for the corporate-state (fascism, anyone?) dairy farmers. We spend our lives on various hormones and chemical stews, we are fattened, we are herded, and we are milked until we either run amok, quit producing, or merely die. We are controlled in this way through the economy of information - a (dare I say it?) postmodern! - phantasmagoria of stratified flows of capital and serial identifications ... mother/father, family member, consumer, boss/employee.
The FIT would not be *allowed* to lose any intel they gather. That would be an anathema to this system of data collection and pattern matching, like losing capital. This would be a major No-No!!
