Guest Post: Climate Camp – Met Police Charm Offensive – Will it work?
So what is it going to be like to document the Climate Camp next week?
My colleague Paul Lewis – who I have worked with on investigations into police surveillance of protesters and journalists, covert state targeting of environmental activists and police violence – has written an interesting article about how the Metropolitan Police are “overhauling its tactics for policing protests by reaching out to activists”. The Public Order Branch of the Met – C011 – has even set up a Twitter account!
