Stop sexing up the spy cops scandal, say victims

“When Everard was murdered, groups like Sisters Uncut forced a connection between her murder and the misogynistic, racist institution of policing. This connection, and a sense that police power was spiralling out of control, were reinforced by the tabling of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts bill just days before the news broke about Everard. The spy cops scandal, on the other hand, has been framed as discontinuous with the Met’s politics and past – an unexpectedly compelling episode of an otherwise two-star cop drama.

“Indeed, the media’s centering of the grim salaciousness of undercover cops impregnating unsuspecting young women and stealing dead children’s identities to do it – think of Donna McLean’s memoir Small Town Girl: Love, Lies and the Undercover Police, or the Telegraph’s Bed of Lies podcast – has eclipsed the story of the state trying to annihilate the organised left.

“Over 1,000 groups were spied on by police between 1968 and at least 2010, and almost all of these were leftwing. In the interim report, Mitting explains that no undercover officer was deployed into far-right groups between 1977 and 1982, because ‘Special Branch already had excellent sources within the extreme right’, and because they were worried the fash would beat them up.

“On Thursday, Met commander Jon Savell apologised ‘to women deceived by officers into sexual relationships, to the families of deceased children whose identities were used by officers...’, highlighting two groups whose plight has become synonymous with the spy cops. It’s unlikely we’ll ever hear an apology to the one group almost all of their victims belonged to: the left.”

Germany arrested three people suspected of transferring technology to China

Three Germans have been arrested on suspicion of collaborating with a Chinese secret service to transfer technology that could be used for military purposes, potentially helping to strengthen China’s navy, German media reported.

One of the suspects, identified only as Thomas R. under German privacy laws, was allegedly an agent of an employee of China’s Ministry of State Security and extracted information in Germany about “militarily suitable innovative technologies” for that person, federal prosecutors said in a statement.

To do so, prosecutors said, he used Herwig F. and Ina. F., a married couple who owned a company in Düsseldorf that was used to contact and work with German researchers.

The couple allegedly entered into a research transfer agreement with an unidentified German university, the first step of which was to compile a study for a Chinese partner on technology for making machine parts that could be used for powerful ship engines, including those on battleships. According to prosecutors, the Chinese partner was backed by Thomas R.’s mentor at MSS, and the project was funded by the Chinese state.

At the time of their arrest, the suspects were negotiating further research projects that could be useful for expanding the combat power of China’s navy, they added.

Self-driving cars are here and they’re watching you

“‘For years we’ve had growing numbers of features that are turning our cars into policing tools,’ said Albert Fox Cahn, an anti-surveillance activist and director of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project. ‘Now that we can no longer deny that this is going to be a way people are tracked, we have to ask if the car companies are willing to make the sort of investment it takes to prevent their cars from driving us straight into authoritarianism.’ ...

“Privacy experts warn that surveillance technology and systems which collect user data that are vulnerable to law enforcement requests disproportionately harm marginalised groups and are a violation of constitutional rights to privacy.

“When it comes to self-driving systems, cameras play a crucial role. The cameras on the outside of the cars help vehicles navigate the streets they’re driving on and manufacturers say the cameras inside the vehicles allow them to support customers as needed. Surveillance is hard to ignore when you’re in one of these vehicles. On a recent test drive of a Cruise driverless car in San Francisco, friends and I were confronted by cameras staring down at us from all directions as soon as we got into the car. One of my friends was so uncomfortable that she covered her face throughout the ride.

“Unsurprisingly, police have started to wise up to the potential for the footage these cameras capture to help them in investigations ... There’s also precedent for police to ask for footage from systems that record inside and outside enclosed spaces, according to Cahn. ‘We already see examples of people getting police warrants for Ring camera data from both outside and within their homes,’ he said. ‘Where there’s a camera, it’s just one court order away from being used against you in a court of law.’”
