In
the light of the police's conduct at the G20 demonstrations, where
arbitrary detention, assault and eventually murder seemed to be
not simply the actions of a few 'bad apples', but rather institutional
policy. We were glad to see that someone had decided to make their
recruitment adverts rather more honest. |
Whilst out cycling one night, the Space Hijackers noticed that some clever sort seems to have a key to the bus stop advertising boards.
As all of the police recruitment adverts in the east
end seem to have a rather more sinister shadow added. We can only assume
that the cunning pranksters simply lay on some cardboard boxes, drew around
themselves holding a pole, then cut out the shape and simply slipped it
in behind the Police posters.
However they managed it, the effect was quite striking, and shows the
police in somewhat of a more honest light. The beauty being that the adverts
look normal in daylight, and it's only when the night draws in and the
backlighting is switched on that they appear.
