Teach the Children Well

London's Metropolitan police have been rebuked by the Information Commissioner's Office for illegally filming children, as young as 10 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/dec/05/met-police-illegally-filmed-children-as-young-as-10-at-climate-protest). Ten thousand children and young adults, gathered at a climate strike protest in London. The police broke the child protection law by videotaping the event. The Metropolitan force must have realised they were, again, playing fast and loose with the law (they seem to have been doing this an awful lot). It is hardly remarkable that children and young adults are concerned about what's happening to their environment. They will be the one's who have to try to pick up the pieces. One just hopes that facial recognition techniques have not been applied to the video 'evidence'. Otherwise, kids could be routinely labelled as 'criminal' agitators under the new anti-protest legislation.
