"The city sees": how they are watching the pickets in the courtyard

The ATS-Info publishes the story of anarchist A. about the police actions during a single picket in early July 2016. Not only did the police unlawfully demanded him to stop, further movements of the pickets were tracked through city video cameras.

On Tuesday evening, a dozen anarchists and veterinarian Anna visited the Sphinx veterinary clinic in South Butovo.

Anna recently turned to the Solidarity Network. Upon dismissal of Anna, they did not pay 12 thousand rubles, in addition, Anna said that the leadership of the Sphinx is irresponsible to her activities: people without veterinary education who meet the Sphinx customers in clothes with the Baeji Veterinarian are allowed to work.

At the end of June, the "Setir of Solidarity" handed over to the clinic a requirement to pay off a salary debt. The hostess of the Sphinx, Elena Elashkin, refused to pay, ridiculously arguing underpayment supposedly by the “test term” and “fines” of Anna. Although she admitted that Anna was not framed in the Sphinx.

On Tuesday, the anarchists distributed leaflets about the “Sphinx” in the yards near the clinic to local residents (especially walking with dogs) - leaflets aroused great interest in them. Anna stood in a single picket next to the Sphinx.

The hostess of the "Sphinx" called the police. Apparently, the authorities of South Butovo are not used to street actions, and therefore events developed curious. A patrol car arrived, a young policeman phoned somewhere on a mobile (not by a walkie-talkie!) And said that no rally was happening, but there is a single picket that does not require coordination. But, according to the results of negotiations on the mobile, said that they still demand that he stop the action.

We obeyed - the effect of pressure on the Sphinx was achieved, but I did not want to spend the night in the police department. Moving 50 meters from the Sphinx, we continued to distribute leaflets, and Anna talked with a local resident who walked with a dog. During the conversation, Anna briefly opened the poster. And after seven minutes the same patrol car drove up again and the same young policeman said: “Well, why are you opening the poster again! The city sees! You won’t leave - the operational regiment will come (riot police - approx.) ”

We left the Sphinx area, but, of course, we will return Butovo to continue to inform the residents about the activities of Mrs. Elashkina.

PS “The city sees” - most likely, the policeman had in mind the super -system of video cameras in Moscow courtyards, installed under Sergei Sobyanin. So the big brother began to see much cooler and faster than before. Keep in mind, comrades.
