police tech leaflet

The UK police use a range of sophisticated technologies that raise serious privacy concerns because of the way in which they gather huge amounts of personal information about often large numbers of people in public places. You can download the leaflet above (just right click and save) and read more about these technologies.

If you agree with us that the police’s use of these technologies should be regulated to protect personal privacy, then please take part in our #spypolice campaign, and share our posters online.
