FIT on bikes at Lon­don Crit­i­cal Mass

At least one offi­cer from the FIT (For­wards Intel­li­gence Team) were spot­ted on the crit­i­cal mass with­out their usu­al blue-shoul­der uni­forms on and on bikes!

Sergeant CW 36 seen here at Cli­mate Camp was seen on a bike with the reg­u­lar bike cops on the Crit­i­cal Mass. Have they decid­ed to give up their cli­mate killing cars and use ped­dle pow­er to con­tin­ue their agen­da of intim­i­da­tion? Have recent FIT­watch actions made them think twice about being so open? Is this just one cop decid­ing to be a bike cop for a change?

Either way peo­ple should be aware that just because they can’t see FIT it does­n’t mean that the cops they see about them aren’t also gath­er­ing intel­li­gence.

A fair­ly smooth Hal­loween style ride with few if any police has­sles.

There were a good num­bers com­pared to the pre­vi­ous month. Sev­er­al sound sys­tems. No block­ing junc­tions this time. Some Lon­don land­marks are high­light­ed in the video.
