    I know for a fact I’m already on them. I found out through channels that the police would visit my property on a weekly/bi-weekly basis to see where I was. I don’t think that’s been the case now for years, but it was when I was more actively involved in local activist leftist groups.

      It’s a little more obvious when you don’t live near anyone, and they have to come down dirty country roads to park across from your property on a DWP service road, and pull out binoculars.

      I used to grab my own, and wave at them energetically like I was excited to see them if I had to go somewhere.

      A lot of people from my area who went out to escorts clinic-goers got the same treatment.

      Nobody ever got stopped, but the moment you were seen doing nefarious things like protecting women seeking Healthcare from harassment or worse, you could expect a police tail within 5 minutes of getting behind the wheel, and cops slowly driving by your house at all hours.

    I support the protection of our NHS and fair electoral reforms, I’m already on a list.

    As someone that rents in a rich person neighborhood let me tell you that rich people rent their “on property” rentals at a steep discount to cops. Usually cops take over all the rentals in a neighborhood, and they terrorize anyone that doesn’t let them and their landlords act like despots in their neighborhood.

    As it happens two FBI agents, four prison guards, four sheriff deputies, and five PD live within four blocks of my house. And there is also the one ex-cop who, IMHO, murdered someone in the town just north of here and moved into this neighborhood to protect himself from 21st century vigilante justice.

    Let me know if you want any addresses to send chocolates. I have a lot of them.
