From the British section of the Empire we have this report that illustrates the advanced nature of the police state in Britain. The old seat of the British Empire is apparently a testing ground for the latest techniques for controlling a population. Methods that are found to be effective will no doubt be applied throughout the US Empire to crush dissent. In this report he describes the use of "Forward Intelligence Teams".
FITs are units comprising both uniformed police officers and (also uniformed) civilian photographers, tasked with conducting overt surveillance of the public during “public order events”. First introduced in the mid-90s in order to gather evidence against football hooligans, FITs’ scope has since been broadened to include political demonstrations and meetings, with their primary role now being to identify and obtain information about protesters.Notice, however, that the British writer at this liberal website frames this ominous development as merely due to "today’s security-obsessed culture".
