  this is no surprise

  For years the state of Washington and specifically the Olympia city police have had environmental activists under surveillance or have subjected them to periodic harassment. My son, a student at Evergreen, was present at a couple of protests in Olympia but was never charged with a crime. When he went to visit the state capitol to lobby for eco-friendly practices in state offices, he was surprised to see that the security guards at the entrance had his photo and personal information on their computer. When he asked why they would keep his personal data on file, the guards refused to give him an answer and denied him entry to a public state building. This, in a so-called progressive, eco-conscious state.  

  It would be interesting to see how many of us have files being kept by local police and state law enforcement. On Police spy on climate activist while global warming goes unarrested posted 11 months, 3 weeks ago 4 Responses
