FitWatch banner at Freedom Not Fear protest against excessive police and business surveillance of our lives
Freedom not fear 2008 events were taking place in over 20 countries today to demonstrate against excessive surveillance by governments and businesses, organized by a broad movement of campaigners and organizations. In the UK the main event was outside New Scotland Yard in London, largely directed at the restriction of the right to demonstrate under SOCPA, the intimidatory use of photography by police FIT squads, the proposed introduction of ID cards, the increasing centralization of personal data held by government, including the DNA database held by police, the incredible growth in surveillance cameras, 'terrorist' legislation and other measures which have affected our individual freedom and human rights. Among organizations represented there were People in Common and FitWatch
