    I know for a fact I’m already on them. I found out through channels that the police would visit my property on a weekly/bi-weekly basis to see where I was. I don’t think that’s been the case now for years, but it was when I was more actively involved in local activist leftist groups.

      It’s a little more obvious when you don’t live near anyone, and they have to come down dirty country roads to park across from your property on a DWP service road, and pull out binoculars.

      I used to grab my own, and wave at them energetically like I was excited to see them if I had to go somewhere.

      A lot of people from my area who went out to escorts clinic-goers got the same treatment.

      Nobody ever got stopped, but the moment you were seen doing nefarious things like protecting women seeking Healthcare from harassment or worse, you could expect a police tail within 5 minutes of getting behind the wheel, and cops slowly driving by your house at all hours.
