The court has now granted the London Metropolitan Police Force the right to hold secret court hearings in regards to the Mark Kennedy case. Kennedy was an undercover police officer who was planted into the environmentalist movement to spy on them, two other officers were involved in the operation. A total of ten people have a joint law suit against the officers, in total nine police officers have been identified as spies. Their duties included sleeping with activists and even having relationships with them, and also travelling abroad with them. The total cost of planting these spies would run into absolute thousands of pounds.
In one case an activist had a baby by an undercover police officer who slept with her, this raises the question as to what the real purpose of the police actually is. It appears that the police are being used as a mass surveillance unit to collect information on political movements and to cause sabotage inside these movements by recruiting people to infiltrate these movements, both left wing and right wing movements are being subjected to this treatment. Crime is now a secondary issue to the police, in fact frequently crimes of violence and burglaries are not even being investigated by the police. It is extremely rare for a police patrol to be spotted, this means that the police are spending ninety percent of their time inside the police station. This means that the police have become isolated from the general public and are unable to deal with call outs in a correct manner, and frequently resort to using extreme violence and tasers on people, in one incident the police tasered a blind person carrying a walking stick, the officer who carried out the attack claimed that the walking stick was an offence weapon. It has now emerged that dozens of people taking pictures in London are stopped by police officers and are detained under the anti terrorism act, this has included tourists. The police are now a political force, that are using stalinist type techniques to collect personal data on people, it is ironic how long term criminals are rarely stopped on searched but yet political activists are.
