21: Spycops Like Us

Alexei sits down with solicitor Paul Heron to chat everything spycops: who they are, why they spy, the life-altering affects that can have on people's lives and why Alexei might be the subject of a Special Branch file.
 
Then Alexei meets Helen Steel, one victim of the intimate and callous violations of the undercover officers. She kindly shares her story with us.

Here are the links Helen mentions:

Police Spies Out of Lives
Undercover Research Group
Campaign Opposing Police Surveillance
