Challenges of Police Investigations Into Anarchist Direct Actions

Let's say a few anarchists are planning an illegal, anonymous direct action. [...] The goals of the police are to prevent actions like this from taking place and/or identify and arrest the anarchists and gather enough evidence for them to be convicted.

The Responsibility of Criminals

From never sleep

A new short zine questioning how one acts under political persecution and certain risks of being a political criminal.

Obviously, you don't run around telling everyone you're under investigation, anyone who has been investigated, or in close relation with someone who has, knows this well. So how do we ensure we keep those around us safe while under this type of pursuit?
