  5. I'm slightly surprised #PSNI #bodycams don't have all the telemetry info that you normally see on the same devices in #England - although maybe this was a #detective wearing a more discreet one (same as civillians in my region started wearing whilst dogwalking due to XL Bully paranoia?)

    Whats more worrying is it seems the kind of IED used would be a lot easier to make (being based on easily available LPG) than the old #IRA ones which used Semtex / C4 and other things which are highly restricted..

  12. Illegal police surveillance of journalists

    Tribunal finds that police illegally spied on journalists

    December 2024

    Viewers of news programmes last evening (17 December) will have noticed journalists and David Davies MP standing outside the Royal Courts of Justice holding Amnesty signs saying ‘Journalism is not a Crime’. This was as a result of the Investigatory Powers Tribunal ruling that both the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the Metropolitan Police had acted unlawfully by spying on journalists during the Troubles*.

    Journalism is an important part of our society and is sometimes the only means we have of getting some glimpse of the truth. Police actions in spying on journalists is to be deprecated. Two journalists, Trevor Birney and Barry McCaffrey produced a film called No Stone Unturned which documented the alleged collusion between the Police and the suspected murderers in the massacre which took place in Loughinisland in 1994. Six Catholic men were shot dead in the UVF attack, which was later found to involve collusion. In making enquiries to the PSNI this set off the surveillance operation in a bid to find the sources the journalists had relied on. It seemed relatively easy for the police at the time to acquire these orders.

    Landmark case for press freedom‘ – Amnesty

    Responding to a judgment from the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) which today ruled that the police acted unlawfully and breached the human rights of Northern Ireland journalists, Amnesty declared it a ‘landmark case for press freedom’.

    The Investigatory Powers Tribunal, which is the only British court with statutory powers to investigate secret police surveillance, ruled that the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) and the Metropolitan Police Service unlawfully spied on the journalists in a bid to uncover their sources.

    At the conclusion of a five-year investigation, the Tribunal found that the PSNI had repeatedly acted unlawfully, in breach of the European Convention of Human Rights and the Human Rights Act 1998.The unlawful behaviour reached all the way to the top of the PSNI with then Chief Constable Sir George Hamilton being found by the Tribunal to have acted unlawfully by failing to “consider whether there was an overriding public interest justifying an interference with the integrity of a journalistic source”, when he authorised a spying operation against an official at the Office of the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland.

    There are increasing concerns about police and security service surveillance, which is becoming easier with new technology. Software can be placed on phones to intercept messages, whether the phone is switched on or not.

    *The ‘Troubles’ were an ethno-nationalist conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted for about 30 years from the late 1960s to 1998. Also known internationally as the Northern Ireland conflict, it began in the late 1960s and is usually deemed to have ended with the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. Although the Troubles mostly took place in Northern Ireland, at times violence spilled over into parts of the Republic of Ireland, England, and mainland Europe. (Wikipedia)

  15. The Good Friday Agreement #GFA, signed in 1998, ended most of the violence of #TheTroubles.
    It called for a commission to review policing in #NorthernIreland. As a consequence, in 2001, the Royal Ulster Constabulary #RUC was reformed and renamed to #PSNI.
    Jon Boutcher, the Chief Constable of the PSNI, leads Operation #Kenova, which has spent the last seven years, and £40m, investigating 101 murders and abductions linked to the #British military double-agent known by the code #Stakeknife.

    One of the report’s most serious conclusions is that the impunity was discussed at Cabinet level during the conflict and continued until six years after the #IRA ceasefire of 1994 and two years after the Good Friday Agreement.

  20. #PSNI needs strong leadership whereas #NorthernIreland just needs someone to show leadership of any kind. However, it appears that Jeff can dictate to everyone including the Policing Board!

    There is many things in Northern Ireland that needs to change. I would start with a new Secretary of State or an increased say for Dublin. That would wake a few people up...

  21. NI SoS Chris Heaton Harris has just said that if Stormont remains shut, he will pass legislation to allow him to appoint the new #PSNI Chief Constable! The #DUP will love that...

    However, they have to get use to the idea, of not having a say in how things run!

    Here's a novel idea...why doesn't Jeff do his job, appoint a DFM and let Northern Ireland have some governance. Instead of further hissy fits & tantrums

  22. PSNI officers disciplined 'to allay threat to Sinn Féin policing support'
    bbc.com/news/uk-northern-irela
    << an odd decision.

    These officers knew the political signal they were making in publicly (wrongly) arresting a victim of a loyalist attack at the anniversary of his attack

    The #PSNI routinely, and often with Court backing, use politics to excuse not removing illegal bonfires, flags, and Protocol protests.

    #NI should not have political policing for one side and apolitical for the others.

  23. “In another incident, on Thursday 17 August, a PSNI laptop and a police officer’s notebook fell from the roof of a moving car on the M2 in Belfast.”

    Don’t you know you’re only supposed to leave cups of coffee on the roof of your car, lads?

  28. Reportedly half of Northern Ireland's police force have been in touch with their lawyers over suing whomever is responsible for this Galactic sized fuck up.
    The truly British thing to do will be to ignore the problem, keep whomever is in charge in their position and just hope it all goes away like COVID and Climate Change did 🤡
