On the 16th February 2009 it became a crime for members of the public or the Press to take photographs of the police, the army, police stations, military installations and transportation units / personnel carriers in the UK, oh yeah and public buildings like bus and Tube stations. This change in the law falls under Section 76 of the Counter-Terrorism Act 2008 and is a variation on a law that was introduced here in the North of Ireland during The Troubles. It is part of sweeping new anti-terrorism laws that impede almost every aspect of life and living.
The reality is that the government are shit scared of the internet and people's ability to; for the first time ever, share almost instantly, incidences where the police and army brutalise and murder the public as we can see quite clearly in the footage of Mr. Ian Tomlinson's murder on the 1st April, 2009. The ability to take photographs or shoot footage of the army and police, then upload it to the internet also threatens the smug security of senior officer - Commander Simon O'Brien in the 2nd clip below, who is caught lying to the mainstream media (Channel 4 News) and therefore to all of us. Check out what he says about how his officers went to the aid or Mr. Tomlinson and how they came under attack from protestors as they assisted paramedics tending to him. The 1st clip below reveals this is not true. There is a petition on the Downing Street website which has attracted several thousand signatures so far . Please sign this petition yourself and share the link via your own websites, blogs, forums, MySpace, Facebook and YouTube channels. The more signatures this petition gets, the more cold sweat and fear we can run down the deserving spines of this most recent of British arms dealing war criminals and blaggards masquerading as politicians in Britain. The link to this petition is:

Above media clip: Footage of a Metropolitan Police constable striking Mr. Ian Tomlinson around the back of the legs with a telescopic truncheon, then pushing him forward, down onto the ground. Mr. Tomlinson was unnarmed, had his back turned to the police, his hands in his pockets and wasn't causing anyone any problems. He was an innocent man trying to make his way home from work during the G20 MELTDOWN demos in London on the 1st April, 2009. A few minutes later Mr. Tomlinson collapsed and died.

Above media clip: Statement by police spokesperson to Channel 4 News on the 2nd April, 2009 - the day after Mr. Tomlinson was murdered. I reckon it's fairly safe to say the cop above is a seasoned liar and fascist with no conscience or remorse for how his animal subordinates behave. I demand as a rates and taxpayer, therefore his employer, that he be arrested, put on trial, jailed and of course fired from his job without pension since he's clearly incapable of doing it to my satisfaction.

Above is the footage that the IPCC (Independent Police Complaints Commission) failed to get an injunction against Channel 4 News to have witheld from the public. The footage appears to reveal the same police constable, who struck Ian Tomlinson shortly before he died, had also been involved in other violent scuffles with members of the public, some of whom may have been protestors. The IPCC already have this same footage plus CCTV and police surveillance footage. Any request by them that the footage Channel 4 News have shared with the public (22nd April, 2009) be witheld on the grounds it may predjudice the investigation, could be because as of that date no police officer present when Mr. Tomlinson was assaulted has been interviewed in connection with the incident.

Above is footage recorded in Bil'in, Palestine on Friday 17th April, 2009 where a 30 year old unnarmed protestor was shot dead by Israeli forces. Please note that this clip contains footage of Bassem Ibrahim Abu Rahma's death and anyone watching it does so at their own discretion (18 +).

UPSTATE RENEGADE PRODUCTIONS are the producers of Sensitize © An activist, arts, e-poetry, journalism, media/music producers and writers e-magazine running work by members of our online community of forums. We work on there to produce our publication.
"Sensitize is a unique entity, which brings together ideas about the arts in a wholly original way. I’ve been on forums for writers where I’ve talked about the visual arts and they’ve nodded politely and let me get on with it; or forums for artists where half of the members are incapable of stringing their thoughts together in words, which is most frustrating all round. It’s rare to find a community of artists where words and the visual arts – all creative media in fact – are equally valued, and can be discussed with intelligence and sensitivity. That, for me, is the strength of Sensitize."
