Section 60AA Briefing - Netpol

At protests, police sometimes remove people’s masks, using the legal power “section 60AA”, of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994. A lot of us are concerned about what this means for covid safety, for privacy, and freedom to protest. The way the police apply the law, with intimidation and shouting, has left a […]

It's only two days until voting at the #GortonAndDenton #byelection.

So I thought that the #LabourParty needed some visual assistance. Time to highlight the achievements of #Starmer's Labour government's choice as Ambasador to the United States, who is seen here helping the ##MetropolitanPolice #NetPol with their inquiries.

#Mandelson is such a big-hearted man, always #HappyToHelp the cops, just like he helped out his pal #Epstein!

#NETPOL: Facial recognition at protests: a guide for protesters and legal observers
This is a guest post by #BigBrotherWatch.

If your custody image has ever been taken by the police, but your charges were dropped or you were found not guilty, you can apply to have your custody image deleted. We recommend you do so, to reduce the likelihood of your facial biometrics being retained (unlawfully) and used in facial recognition watchlists

#netpol has published a guide for #activists targeted under counter-terrorist powers.

In this guide, we outline how counter terror policing works in britain, and what this means for movements today. It explains how the Terrorism Act 2000 is being used on the ground, often by ordinary officers with little understanding of the legislation they're citing.

We offer practical guidance on asserting your rights when stopped, what to say (and not say), and what to do.

What to do if you’re targeted under counter terror powers - Netpol

A dangerous new normal for protest policing Following the proscription of Palestine Action, we are witnessing a sharp escalation in the use of counter terror powers. This moment builds on the decades-long expansion of powers and strategies that have enabled the state to treat protest as a threat, and activism as extremism. While this is […]

Palestine Action threatened with ban: what will this mean in practice? - Netpol

The government’s decision to list Palestine Action as a proscribed group, banning them as a terrorist organisation, is being rushed through Parliament. It will be subject to a legal challenge, but legal action will take time, but the ban on Palestine Action will have an immediate impact on the movement once it comes into force. […]
