Abstract

In Birmingham the impact of counter-terrorism legislation and its operation on the Muslim community has led to a community that does not trust the police force. The West Midlands Police force was so concerned with the terrorist threat that it decided to install secret covert and overt cameras. The thinking surely was that the police could use these cameras to spy upon a community and help prevent another 7/7.
