Fit in trouble again
Forward intelligence policing is once again in the media spotlight after news today that a complaint has been launched by a 20 year old student, who claims not only was he falsely, and violent arrested - he sustained a chipped tooth during the arrest- but also the arresting FIT officer colluded with other officers to make up allegations against him.
Fortunately for the student, we can never disregard the utter stupidity of the cops. This particular officer had his voice recorder turned on and managed to capture the entire arrest and subsequent conversation. This information has all been turned over to the IPCC who are investigating the complaint.
It comes as no surprise to Fitwatch that these officers acted in this way - we have seen FIT colluding and acting violently for too many years to be shocked - but it is always good when they are caught in the act and this behaviour is exposed.
If anyone has any further information on who these officers are, please contact Fitwatch as we would, as usual, be happy to publish their names and photographs.

Sorry, this is false. None of the arresting officers or any being investigated by the IPCC are FIT team members. Just normal police officers.

@Will this is unlikely to be false. There are not many police officers operating voice recorders in public order situations, and those who do are FIT/EGTs. The Evening Standard also reported the arresting officer was FIT – http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard/article-23931645-police-officer-suspected-of-arresting-student-fees-protester-on-false-grounds.do
However, if you have some evidence for the contrary please let us know.
