Accursed creator! Why did you form a monster so hideous that even you turned from me in disgust?
— Mary Shelley

On the streets

Mask up and cover your face.

Use an alias – Don’t use your real name. Once police find a name, tracking you down becomes much easier.

No Comment – You do not need to answer police questions, so don’t. This is for your protection and the protection of others. The police will try to pressure and deceive you into incriminating yourself. Instead of trying to decide when it seems ‘safe’ to answer, just say “No comment” to all questions.

No Personal Details – You do not have to give personal details under ANY stop and search power, so don’t. On protests, the police often use searches as a way of finding out who is present, both for intelligence purposes and to intimidate you.
