UK Peace Activist To Sue Police Over Secret Surveillance

John Catt, aged 86, has had his presence at peaceful protests systematically logged by secretive police unit over four years
An 86-year-old man has been granted permission to launch a lawsuit against police chiefs who have classified him as a “domestic extremist” and kept a detailed record of his political activities on a clandestine database.
John Catt, who has no criminal record, is bringing the high court action against a secretive police unit which systematically logged his presence at more than 55 peace and human rights protests over a four-year period.
Some of the entries record his habit of taking out his sketch pad and drawing the scene at demonstrations. Other entries contain notes on his appearance – such as “clean shaven” – and the slogans on his clothes.
His lawsuit will challenge the power of police to compile secret files on law-abiding protesters.
A victory for Catt, a pensioner who lives in Brighton, would be a further blow to the police unit, which has been criticised for (more…)
Data Pirates (aka Cops) Can Hack Your Cell Phone
By now, many of you may have heard about iPhone tracking and recording your location data, but is there anything else being extracted from cell phones without our knowledge? If you’re a Michigan state resident, the answer is an alarming “maybe.”
Michigan’s police department have been using handheld gadgets called “extraction devices” for nearly three years now, which can take every lick of data from a mobile phone. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Michigan claims that these DEDs (data extraction devices) are being used to secretly copy cell phone data during routine traffic stops.
Seems like a serious violation to the 4th Amendment, right? If the search and seizure law prohibits police officers from checking your trunk after getting pulled over, how could stealing your cell phone data be an exception? Do they really need to investigate your photos and texts? Don’t worry, the ACLU are on the case (despite being unsuccessful).
The extractors are called UFEDs—Universal Forensic Extraction Devices—which are made and sold to law enforcement by Cellebrite. The data stealer can swipe everything in under two minutes, including text messages, photos, videos, passwords and (more…)
Brother Askia Sabur Near Fatally Beaten By Coward Phila Pigs: The Real Story (UPDATE)
Peace. Above is video of my good brother Askira Sabur being beaten damn near to death by some punk @ss cops with balls in there badge. I’m going to give you all the real story which I am sure you wont get anywhere else and then you can read the story below from the mainstream media and you can see how the mainstream media does what they do best… spin the truth.
On the evening of Sept 3rd, Brother Askia Sabur on his bike was accompanied by 3 other gentlemen on bikes to Lucky Star Chinese store located at 55th & Landsdowne. After ordering his food, the 3 other gentlemen had dispersed leaving Askia’s bike unattended outside of the store. As the temperature rose in the store, Askia stepped outside for fresh air and to tend after his bike which wasnt chained or secured in anyway. 2 unnamed and unidentified police officers approached him telling him to move away from the store and his bike. His food was already paid for so while he tried to explain this to the officer, one officer pushed him off the steps into another officer and began to brutally beat him for no reason other than his reputation as an activist in the community.
You see, in the article below and all of the others I have read pertaining to this situation, all they seem to mention of brother Sabur’s affiliations are those to a criminal past and to the justice system he was a victim of but never to the injustice system he fought against. This attack on brother Sabur was not an isolated incident, these are the type of attacks that are carried out when you try to speak out against the system that is designed against impoverished people. This is not the first victim and if something is not done he will not be the last. Hotep. -iSpit

We Are Change San Jose Document Cop Armored Vehicle
Cops in Campbell, California, tool around the streets late at night in a military-style armored vehicle. One wonders if the cops were on a joy ride or if they were on their way to bust some pot smokers and kill their dogs. Or maybe they were engaged in an operation to get late nighters accustomed to the idea that the police are now little different than a military occupation army.

PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. In a disturbance call that went terribly wrong, gay porn star Andrew Grande lost his life for a bag of marijuana. And it was all caught on tape.
A camera crew from Zoo Productions, working for truTV, was on a ride-along with Panama Beach police when they responded to a physical disturbance call at the Executive Inn on Front Beach Road Friday Dec. 11.
When investigators arrived, 22-year-old Crystal Amber Cronnon told them that Grande, who used the stage name Dustin Michaels, had attacked her, according to the News Herald. Police say they tried to arrest Grande but he resisted and during the struggle he put something in his mouth and attempted to swallow it. Officers yelled at him to spit it out. One of them shouted, “He’s choking,” according to the paper.
