This short radio report is worth a listern if only to hear what Bristol City councillor Gary hopkins has to say on the subject. Several bristol locations are refered to includingstapleton Road and Broadmead.
Talk of automatic face recognition is given by... get this a Dr. George ORWELL no less !!!
Gwent cops also get a mention but the dramatic backing musicon this White Pebble Productions piece is laughable.

One thing to note though is the reference to the up and coming robots - presently in the form of unmanned flying drones.
Don't ever say that you've not been warned... read full story / add a comment

I, for one have had the Stop and Search legislation used on me illegally.
However I was unable to appeal at the time due to court costs being too inhibitive.

Local cops are using twitter to give "Operational updates about the policing of Bristol Co-Mutiny actions and events" - it is just me or does that sound less like policing and more like a PR campaign? We've seen the police politicising the policing of events like the G20 and Climate Camp - is it now in Bristol too? read full story / add a comment

IPCC calls for immediate change in policing tactics: G20 pdf Bishopgate Report

Lots of coverage appearing online and on tv news of the latest IPCC report into G20 policing, this one in relation to police tactics in dealing with the Climate Camp on Bishopgate and the specific experiences of one woman mostly at the hands of TSG.

The report is available here:
http://www.ipcc.gov.uk/Bishopsgate_Report.pdf
and reprinted below for information purposes.

HMIC has made three immediate recommendations:

- No surprises – Protestors and public should be made aware of
likely police action in order to make informed decisions.

- A release plan to allow vulnerable or distressed persons or those
inadvertently caught up in the police containment to exit.

- A review of current public order training.
