Documented proof of Stazi-like recruitment
Contribution from a reader | May 29 2005
Attached you will find a letter that I received today from the police precinct in the region in which I live. Before I proceed with the full translation let me give you the short version of the content.
The police is calling for volunteers (parents, people with full time jobs, professionals, etc.) to join them on a voluntary basis and to assist in the tasks of surveillance, prevention of crimes, traffic checkpost controls, to protect and *correct* the behavior of citizens.
I believe this is worthy of a mention on your sites given that it is documented proof of government involvement in active recruitment of what I call "snitches in uniform". I certainly don't need to remind you guys that these are practices not unlike the former German Stazi who turned many citizens into snitches and "surveillance staff".
Even more of a concern is that the letter states that
volunteers that wish to participate need to be at least 16.5 years old which
means that there is a potential for young kids to be sucked into the police
state brainwash machine, to give them a little fake power and ficticious
influence in order to have them do the dirty work that the government
is unable (due to legal restrictions that often don't apply to civilians)
to do themselves. Needless to say the public reaction to kids, who will
most likely not even know the law, attempting to correct the behavior of
citizens will only lead to more problems.
As for a quick translation of what the letter says;
--------------------------
Why this letter?
We are looking for motivated colleagues for the "volunteer police".
Colleagues, who due to their attitude and after a thorough course, will
be able to professionally handle situations in the streets. We are looking
for people who preferably have a large amount of professional and life experience.
Woman and men with jobs, perhaps
even with families who are raising kids, who would want to give up their
free time to assist in improving the safety in their neighborhood. People
who, in a special way, want to provide something to their communities. Perhaps
you are one of these people?
The tasks?
Provide help where needed, watch over and surveil, assist in preventing
misdemeanors and crimes, assist with traffic check points and other events.
Just to show that you are around.... to protect, to help, and sometimes
also to correct (ed::the context of the language used implies that it is
to correct behavior or actions of other citizens::). You will work within
a regional team together with professional colleagues. You will have diverse
tasks which include events like the marathon and
the summer carnaval and will participate in district/region actions such
as alocohol checks (ed::those are traffic checkpoints where folks are checked
for DUI)::.
Requirements for the uniform-wearing duties;
The requirements for a "volunteer police officer" are the same
as for a professional police officer and surveillor, you need to be at least
16.5 years of age, have the Dutch nationality, and have a high school diploma
or equivalent work- and intelligence levels. You need to be prepared to
give up least 250 hours each year (including our course) of your free time,
to be on duty and on call. Of course you need to be healthy and
have a clean slate (e.g. no police record). And... to be prepared to spend
weeknights following our course.
What more can the police offer?
Working with the police is a special use of you free time. Free time, which
you will spend in one of the most noteworthy areas of the city in your own
community and environment (or a different region if you so wish). Needless
to say we will provide a modest annual fee, an hourly fee, travel cost reimbursement,
and a small fee for clothing. The course we offer is free of charge.
The rest of the letter is mostly a lot of filling and an invitation to come to the precinct where they will hold an informative talk about this new project.
--------------------------
It is obvious from the letter that the police are
looking for volunteers who will not be given the employed or legal status
of law enforcement. That means volunteers can be given orders which they
most likely will not fully understand in the context of the law, in order
to use them to do the tasks that normal law enforcement is unable to do
without just cause or court orders. It is not unlike how in the US truck
drivers and cable technicians have been asked to look around and report
suspicious behavior
or other things. Snitches, to be blunt. If a police officer doesn't follow
the rules that apply to themselves they can be reprimanded, carreer opportunities
can be impaired, or they can be fired and the city can be sued. In the case
of these volunteers which remain volunteers the law does not apply in the
same way. At worst a volunteer will be banned from taking further part in
the project but as a citizen your options for real
justice will be slim to none.
It goes without saying that projects like this
tend to attract a majority of individuals who are power hungry or otherwise
suffer from the kind of mental illness which is the cause of their desire
to feel important and to feel like they are in control of others. So it
will just be a matter of time before greater civil unrest will set in...
which of course is most likely what the government prefers given that it
allows them to take
more civil rights away from the people and allows them to create and activate
police-state-like measures.
