The Guardian reported on October 25th 2009 that the Metropolitan Police have "spotter cards", designed to show the police the faces of those people who "they consider to be potential troublemakers because they have appeared at a number of demonstrations".
When the police admit that someone could end up on a secret police database merely for attending a demonstration, it is exactly the time to worry. — Mark Thomas, The Guardian, "Doth I protest too much?"
Not people who have made trouble. Not people who have been repeatedly arrested. People who have protested in the past and are on that basis considered troublemakers. The new "reds under the bed".
People like, for example, the comedian and activist Mark Thomas.
Now you too can be on a spotter card! Simply put the web address of a picture of you in the box below, and be immortalised next to other "potential troublemakers"!
