Forward intelligence team (original) (raw)
Forward Intelligence Teams (FITs) are two or more police officers who are deployed by UK police forces to gather intelligence on the ground and in some circumstances, to disrupt activists and deter anti-social behaviour. They use cameras, camcorders and audio recorders to conduct overt surveillance of the public. An unsuccessful legal challenge has been made against their use of overt surveillance, but in 2009 the Court of Appeal ruled that they must justify retention of photographs on a case-by-case basis. Any retained information is recorded on the Crimint database.

| dbo:abstract | Forward Intelligence Teams (FITs) are two or more police officers who are deployed by UK police forces to gather intelligence on the ground and in some circumstances, to disrupt activists and deter anti-social behaviour. They use cameras, camcorders and audio recorders to conduct overt surveillance of the public. An unsuccessful legal challenge has been made against their use of overt surveillance, but in 2009 the Court of Appeal ruled that they must justify retention of photographs on a case-by-case basis. Any retained information is recorded on the Crimint database. Political activists have criticised FITs and said that they feel the aim of FIT deployment during protests is to prevent legal protests. Journalists have also complained that FITs attempt to stop them photographing protests and that they conduct surveillance of journalists. A campaign group, Fitwatch, formed in 2007 that aim to obstruct FITs and conduct sousveillance on the officers. Two members of the group were arrested at the 2008 Climate Camp on obstruction charges. A similar police surveillance unit, the Video Intelligence Unit is operated by Greater Manchester Police. In June 2010, the Home Office announced it would review the use of FITs during public order policing. (en) Un Forward Intelligence Team (FIT, que l'on peut traduire en français par « Unité de renseignement avancé ») est une unité composée d'au moins un policier qui est déployée par l'une des forces policières du Royaume-Uni dans le but d'amasser des renseignements pouvant servir aux activités policières sur le terrain. Dans certaines circonstances, les unités peuvent s'opposer aux activistes et intervenir dans le cas de comportements antisociaux. Les unités ont recours aux caméras, caméscopes et enregistreurs audio pour mener une surveillance manifeste du public. Chacune des informations recueillies est ajoutée à la base de données (en). Les premiers FIT sont apparus au début des années 1990 en tant qu'unités du Metropolitan Police Force chargées du maintien de l'ordre public. Ils ont dans un premier temps suivis des partisans du football, des saboteurs de chasses aux animaux et des manifestants politiques (au moins depuis 1996), ayant recours aux caméras, caméscopes et enregistreurs audio pour mener une surveillance manifeste du public. Les policiers portent des uniformes et sont très visibles. Leur uniforme est parfois différent des policiers réguliers. Des photographes civils sont parfois embauchés pour faire partie de FIT. Selon Scotland Yard, leur but est d'enregistrer suffisamment d'informations pour pouvoir intervenir efficacement a posteriori si des problèmes surgissent pendant les manifestations.

Usano fotocamere e dispositivi per riprese audiovisive per compiere sorveglianza palese sulla folla. Contro la loro prassi di sorveglianza palese è stato presentato un ricorso infruttuoso, ma nel 2009 la Corte d'appello ha stabilito che essi devono giustificare la conservazione delle fotografie caso per caso. Ogni informazione acquisita è registrata presso il database . Gli attivisti politici hanno criticato i FIT e hanno detto di ritenere che l'obiettivo dello spiegamento dei FIT durante le manifestazioni sia quello di impedire le proteste legittime. I giornalisti hanno anche lamentato che i FIT tentano di impedire loro di fotografare le proteste, ed esercitano la sorveglianza sui giornalisti. Nel 2007 è nato Fitwatch, un gruppo di attivisti con l'obiettivo di ostacolare i FIT e di condurre subveglianza sugli agenti. Due membri del gruppo sono stati arrestati al Climate Camp 2008 con l'accusa di ostruzione. Un'unità di sorveglianza della polizia simile, la Video Intelligence Unit, è gestita dalla Greater Manchester Police. Nel giugno 2010, l'Home Office ha annunciato che avrebbe riesaminato l'uso dei FIT durante le operazioni di ordine pubblico svolte dalla polizia. (it) |
