Charles Farrier of the national anti-CCTV campaign points out the Chief Constable of Thames Valley Sara Thornton just happens to be Vice Chair of the Association of Chief Police Officers Terrorism and Allied Matters Committee (ACPO-TAM).

And who funded Project Champion?  Er, the very same ACPO-TAM which is now in the curious position of investigating one of its own projects.  Very independent.

Farrier commented:  “The involvement of ACPO in the roll-out of cameras around Birmingham and throughout Britain is a worrying state of affairs.

“ACPO has become the political wing of the police and when the police lobby, initiate policy and make decisions without recourse to the people they should serve then we are living in a Police State.

“ACPO should be abolished and their dodgy cameras taken down now”.
