A new documentary about the police’s undercover operations is being made.
Back in November 2011, Channel Four broadcast a documentary about Mark Kennedy, the police spy who spent many years undercover in environmental groups. It was made very much from his point of view.
This new documentary will be different - it tells the story from the point of view of those who were the targets of the police’s covert espionage.
Jason Kirkpatrick, the director of the new documentary Spied Upon, says that the aim of his film is to show the “human story of what it’s like to be targeted by secret police, while revealing at a human scale today’s complex international spying apparatus.”

Police spies stole identities of dead children
▻http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2013/feb/03/police-spies-identities-dead-children
Britain’s largest police force stole the identities of an estimated 80 dead children and issued fake passports in their names for use by undercover police officers.
The Metropolitan police secretly authorised the practice for covert officers infiltrating protest groups without consulting or informing the children’s parents.

  Woman’s 18-year search for truth about police spy who used dead child’s name
  When the man known to his activist girlfriend as John Barker disappeared, she embarked on a journey that led her to the former home of a child whose name he used as an alias
  John Barker was an eight-year-old boy who died of leukaemia in 1968. Nineteen years later his identity was quietly resurrected by the police. The man who adopted the boy’s identity, claiming it as his own, was John Dines, an undercover sergeant in the Metropolitan police’s special branch.
  In 1987 Dines was tasked with posing as an anti-capitalist protester, feeding intelligence to his handlers in a secret unit called the special demonstration squad (SDS). It was a controversial and morally dubious deployment that lasted five years and will now return to haunt him.

An academic and prominent supporter of progressive causes has been unmasked as a former spy who controlled a network of undercover police officers in political groups.
During his current career as an academic expert on Islamophobia, Bob Lambert has regularly spoken at political rallies to promote campaigns against racism and fascism.
However, in his previous career as a special branch officer, which lasted 26 years, he ran operations at a covert unit that placed police spies into political campaigns, including those run by anti-racism groups. The unit also disrupted the activities of these groups.
