My sign at the #KillTheBill May Day protest in London (Photo on the left by Joe Kibria).
I’ve now made the print files for this sign available to download from my website, you can also order a printout at cost price.
‘Blue bib’ cops at protests are there to gather intelligence on protesters which the police then use against protest movements.
The Police monitoring organisation Netpol found evidence from FOI requests that ‘Police Liaison Officers’ at protests are trained in intelligence gathering, and information they acquired through friendly chats at protests has been later used in prosecutions against peaceful protesters.
