So Thursday afternoon (about 1300 it would have been) a companion and I decide to go on a trek. But on leaving LARC (the London Action Resource Centre) we realise we're being followed by a couple of FIT officers.
Just to confirm its no coincidence we wander along Whitechapel High Street, then retrace our steps, the back again... and so on.
And sure enough, this pair follows our meanderings.
Companion confronts them.
"No, they're not following us" they claim. "They're on patrol". Even though they're way outside their territory. So what's their beat? "Random patrol" seemingly. Try as we might we couldn't get them to admit they were following us... although quite clearly they were.

Now me, being a proper media-type person, always carries a voice recorder with me. But me, true to me normal clueless self, hadn't actually got it switched on.
So a brief interlude whilst I drag it from the backpack, switch it on, then approach and confront the cops again. But this time, presumably being aware they're being recorded, they're even more unforthcoming, just smiling enigmatically, and referring us to their supervisor.

Do you think we should have told them that we were simply going to the shops for (in my companion's case) some tobacco and (in mine) some batteries?

Thursday 10th September, Whitechapel, London.
