CCTV is watching you. ---- Only 3% of London's street robberies were solved by 
CCTV according to Detective Chief Inspector Nevile of the Met. ---- "No thought" 
had gone in to how to use them he whinged. ----  He went on to say it was only 
supposed to be used as a preventative measure and officers needed more training 
"Because its hard work." Ahh! "Billions of pounds has been spent on kit, but no 
thought has gone in to how the police are going to use the images and how they 
will be used in court...there's no fear of CCTV. Why don't people fear it? They 
think the cameras are not working." ----  Before you breathe a sigh of relief
though, a data base is being piloted of CCTV images which police hope will help
identify and track offenders (read activists).

  The unit is also looking at ways of using
software which can follow distinctive
brand logos on the clothing of unidenti-
fied subjects (activists). A good reason
not to be fashionable. If taking the tag off
an expensive pair of Jeans can fuck up
thousands of pounds of equipment, piss
off a bored police man and save your
identity and possibly being implicated in
something messy you should do it.
Graeme Gerard Deputy Chief Constable of
Cheshire Police said that CCTV was likely to
equal DNA and fingerprinting in impor-
tance. But "More intelligent use of the
technology are important to the future
development of how we use CCTV." Better
not use police men then.
  There are now 4.2 million cameras in Brit-
ain. Costing billions of pounds. Apparently
all useless because sitting at a desk sifting
through hours of footage as your limp
cheese butty droops its bits to the floor in
unison with your drooping eye lids is not
as much fun as going out on a Friday night
and bullying drunks and beggars.

Subvert!
When going on demonstrations stay sober, don't talk to the police and if you're ar-
rested give only your name and address then say `no comment' to any other questions.

  The Anarchist Federation AF

  The Anarchist Federation is an
organisation of class struggle
anarchists aiming to abolish capi-
talism and all oppression to create
a free and equal society. This is
Anarchist Communism.
   We see today's society as being
divided into two main opposing
classes: the ruling class which
controls all the power and wealth,
and the working class which the
rulers exploit to maintain this. By
racism, sexism and other forms of
oppression, as well as war and
environmental destruction the rul-
ers weaken and divide us. Only the
direct action of working class peo-
ple can defeat these attacks and
ultimately overthrow capitalism.
   As the capitalist system rules the
whole world, its destruction must
be complete and world wide. We
reject attempts to reform it, such as
working through parliament and
national liberation movements, as
they fail to challenge capitalism
itself.
   Unions also work as a part of the
capitalist system, so although
workers struggle within them they
will be unable to bring about capi-
talism's destruction unless they go
beyond these limits.
   Organisation is vital if we're to
beat the bosses, so we work for a
united anarchist movement and are
affiliated to the International of An-
archist Federations.
The Anarchist Federation has
members across Britain and Ire-
land fighting for the kind of world
outlined above.
