Surveillance is not safe guarding Think Family Education (TFE)  is an app that has been in use in schools for several years, in fact The Bristol Cable first reported on TFE in 2021.  The app is connected to a council and police database.

"Children internalise the idea that they are suspects. Families feel criminalised simply for needing support. No algorithm should decide a child's future." #EndThinkSurveillance #SupportTheFilm #CommunitiesForJustice #WeCopWatch

"Support people on their journey so they know that they're not alone. I've been stopped and searched over 50 times.. "
"I'm from Tottenham. I wouldn't consider myself cop watch, my thing is more so cop avoidance.. I go way back from when there was Sus laws."

They Don’t Protect Us- John Pegram
They Don’t Protect Us- John Pegram One of the wonderful speakers from our June 2021 event “They Don’t Protect Us”, a history of police and monitoring groups presented by Bristol Copwatch in affiliation with the Institute of Race Relations. John is the founding member Bristol Copwatch and a community activist. He has been involved with anti-racist campaigning for many years and has been monitoring police since 2018. He has lived experience of stop and search and racial profiling, having been stopped 53 times in his life. John was dragged through the criminal justice system at a young age and understands the trap of the cycle many Black youth find themselves caught up in, he understands the trauma police can create and is a firm believer that we should challenge police power and resit racist and disproportionate policing. Stay up to date with any future events at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/o/bristol-copwatch-32610654769 Subtitles will be available shortly.
