Doesn't it strike you as stnrage that the police felt it necessary to film the 15 protesters? Why did they do that?Did they have operational intelligence indicating that criminal actions were likely at this demo? Or, as I suspect, has this just become the norm now? A subtle change in the way public protest is perceived as something to be wary of rather than a positive good to public life? Being filmed by the agents of the state while exercising your ancient right of free speech and assembly is inherently intimidating. It shouldn't happen. Anyway, aren't there enough CCTV cameras around there already?No, I wasn't one of the 15.
