Things we discovered at the workshop about impersonating an undercover plain clothes officer at This Is Not A Gateway:-
- They aren’t that difficult to spot, but of course I’m not going to tell you who you are and how we know who you are.
- We value trust and don’t want to become overly suspicious or even paranoid.
- Therefore, we wish to be vigilant but remain true to our principles of kindness and inclusivity.
- It appears to be virtually impossible to go anywhere in the City of London where you can be unobserved by CCTV.
- We find it possible to secretly observe policemen and security workers and even enjoy it.
- We find it very difficult and it feels wrong and dirty to secretly observe a civilian member of the public.
Thanks to the workshop coordinator.
