"Ce texte recense soixante fichiers actifs d'identification administrative, fichiers de police, fichiers de justice et fichiers de renseignement, en somme tous les outils dont l'État s'est doté pour le contrôle des populations. On y trouve la manière dont ils fonctionnent mais aussi comment savoir ce que l'État sait de nous et finalement comment lui demander de nous oublier. Le but n'est pas d'alimenter la paranoïa sur la police ou le sentiment de toute-puissance de l'État : oui, l'État a des moyens pour se protéger, mais visibiliser ces moyens et les connaître permet d'abord de mieux les combattre et y faire face."

"This is a practical zine, but we'll take (brief) detours through theory. First, we'll talk about how cops work with DNA. Then we'll offer ideas for how to make their job as difficult as possible, both by giving tips to develop your own security protocols and by proposing a protocol that we consider appropriate. At the end, we've added more theoretical appendices on the biology of DNA and on some technical aspects of its use by scientists."

"A communiqué, also sometimes called a reportback or hit report, is a report on (typically) illegal direct actions that is shared online via counter-info sites or in print publications. Mainstream media may suppress reporting about certain tactics or the reason for choosing a target may be unclear, so submitting a communiqué is a way to share news, tactics, and political motivations directly. This guide describes how to securely submit an anonymous communiqué online."

Il senso di questa iniziativa era, per noi, principalmente iniziare a schiarirci le idee rispetto alla tematica dell'uso repressivo del DNA, confrontandoci con chi ci potesse aiutare a muovere i primi passi nella comprensione sia delle cosiddette basi scientifiche di cui il sistema giuridico si sta dotando per affinare il proprio operato, che del funzionamento delle nuove leggi, disposizioni e procedure in materia di prelievo e uso forense della prova genetica […]."

"Seit mehreren Jahren wird aber auch die DNA-Analyse wichtiger für politische Ermittlungsverfahren. Die Polizei sammelt immer mehr DNA-Spuren an Tatorten und von Verdächtigen. Mittlerweile können durch bessere Techniken bereits kleinste Spuren eine Aussagekraft über Menschen geben. Manchmal ist eine DNA-Spur vor Gericht entscheidend für eine Verurteilung. Das alles wirft Fragen auf, die wir mit dieser Comic-Story zumindest ansatzweise angehen wollen. Wo befindet sich überhaupt DNA und wie kommt sie dahin? Wie verhalten wir uns bei Aktionen oder bei drohender Repression? Wir wollen sicherer im Umgang mit DNA bei Aktionen und in Strafverfaren werden."

"There are many guides out there that describe everything from the best ways of building timed incendiary devices, to dealing with DNA, to anti-forensic methods and how to secure digital information against search and seizure or government surveillance. Some of them are over forty years old, others are newer, some of them still hold up while others need updating. We thought it wouldn't hurt to have some suggestions, a brief “things to consider” article, that is reasonably up-to-date in regards to the enemy's methods."

(fr) Pour (essayer de) tenir les flics à distance(sv) Att (försöka) hålla snuten på avstånd
"Il existe de nombreux guides qui décrivent toutes sortes de choses, depuis les meilleurs moyens de fabriquer des engins incendiaires à retardement à la gestion des traces ADN, en passant par les techniques pour contrer la police scientifique et les manières de protéger des données numériques face aux perquisitions, aux saisies ou à la surveillance gouvernementale. Certains d'entre eux ont plus de quarante ans, d'autres sont plus récents, certains sont encore valables, d'autres doivent être mis à jour. Nous avons pensé que ça ne ferait pas de mal de rassembler quelques suggestions, un article pas trop long avec des "trucs à prendre en considération", qui soit raisonnablement en phase avec les méthodes de l'ennemi."
"Det finns många guider därute som beskriver alltifrån hur du bäst bygger tidsin-ställda brandbomber till hur du hanterar DNA, anti-forensiska metoder och hur du bäst säkrar digital information mot husrannsakan eller statlig övervakning. Vissa av dem är över fyrtio år gamla, andra är nyare, vissa av dem håller än medan andra behöver uppdateras. Vi tänkte att det inte skulle skada med ett litet förslag, en liten att-tänka-på-artikel, som ligger någorlunda i fas med fiendens metoder."

Molti avranno già probabilmente sentito parlare di test del DNA, vuoi per trasmissioni televisive, vuoi per gli eclatanti “casi alla ribalta” sui media in questi ultimi anni, vuoi perché si conosce qualcuno che è dentro per questioni di DNA o perché si è sentito dire che, subito prima di uscira, verrà chiesto di farselo prendere. Queste pagine tenteranno di spiegare di che si tratta, perché magistrati e sbirri sono così interessati al nostro DNA, come intendono usarlo e come e perché, a nostro avviso, vale la pena opporsi alla schedatura del profilo genetico."

Spitzel sind leider eine uralte Begleiterscheinung von Herrschaft und Oppositionelle mussten sich zu allen Zeiten mit ihnen herumschlagen – aber selten waren sie auf Spitzel so gut vorbereitet, dass sie mit ihnen, bzw. einem Spitzelverdacht vernünftig und zielgerichtet umgehen konnten. Diese Broschüre vermittelt Erfahrungen, die verschiedene Gruppen an verschiedenen Orten in den letzten Jahren gemacht haben, und die Lehren, die daraus gezogen wurden."

"The keylogger was a proper bug, sent to my PC via Internet through a virus, and it was capable of intercepting everything around my computer. It was sufficient for the computer to be connected to the Internet and the miserable ones were able to hear all audio nearby (no video because the webcam has always been blocked out). So, because I have my PC in my bedroom they listened not only to radio off-line comments but even more… everything in fact!"

"Ce keylogger était un vrai mouchard, envoyé via Internet à mon ordinateur, sous forme d'un virus, et capable de capter tout ce qui se passait autour de l'ordi. Il suffisait que l'ordinateur soit connecté à Internet et les misérables flics pouvaient écouter tout l'environnement sonore dans le lieu (mais pas d'images, car la webcam a toujours été bouchée). L'ordi étant dans la chambre, ils n'ont pas seulement écouté les commentaires hors antenne, mais aussi d'autres choses... tout !"

Quindi, avendo il PC in camera da letto non hanno ascoltato solo i commenti fuori onda della radio ma anche altro... anzi tutto!"

"Le mandat d'arrêt européen est fondé sur le principe de la reconnaissance mutuelle des décisions pénales entre les États membres de l'Union européenne. Il se base donc sur l'idée que tous les États de l'UE ont un système judiciaire respectable et juste, et à ce titre toute latitude leur est laissée pour juger selon leurs propres règles de droit. Selon ce principe, “lorsque l'autorité judiciaire d'un État membre demande la remise d'une personne, soit en vertu d'une condamnation définitive, soit parce que cette personne fait l'objet de poursuites pénales, sa décision doit être reconnue et exécutée automatiquement sur tout le territoire de l'Union.” Automatiquement.

"I climbed up the fire escape onto the air conditioner and finally to the roof. I crept up behind the camera, grabbed it with both hands, twisted it from its bracket, and snipped the wire with my clippers. Having never done this before, I wasn't sure if some silent alarm was going off or if somebody watching a screen somewhere had just had their creep-fest interrupted, so I hastily shoved the camera and clippers in my bag and retreated to my bike."

Sono scivolata alle spalle della telecamera, l'ho afferrata con entrambe le mani, l'ho girata sulla sua staffa e ho tagliato il filo con il mio tronchese. Non avendolo mai fatto prima, non ero sicura se qualche allarme silenzioso si sarebbe attivato o se qualcuno che guardasse uno schermo da qualche parte avesse appena dovuto interrompere il proprio festival-del-brivido, quindi ho sbattuto in fretta telecamera e forbici nella mia borsa e mi sono diretta verso la bici."

"В политически нестабильных странах очень часто прессуют журналистов, правозащитников и простых активистов. Порой приходят с обысками, изымают технику – и через определённое время, как правило, возвращают. Многие из-за паранойи вынуждены впоследствии её продавать и покупать новое железо, так как не исключают вживления в устройства аппаратных бекдоров. Особенно напрягает менять устройства, когда такая практика их изъятия – систематическая. Но к сожалению, это вынужденная и правильная мера. Хочу рассказать почему."

"Activists in Belarus are subject to unchecked government surveillance with no independent oversight. The government uses telecoms companies to facilitate surveillance by demanding direct, remote-control access to customer communications and data. Against the background of an already restrictive legal environment, this creates a chilling effect that forces activists out of public life."
Other languages
(ru) Гражданское общество, секретность и слежка в Беларуси
"Правовая база, регулирующая порядок негласного наблюдения в Беларуси, характеризуется отсутствием соответствующих гарантий безопасности, и позволяет властям осуществлять широкомасштабную слежку практически без всякого обоснования. И хотя фактически любой человек может стать объектом слежки, почти невозможно узнать, ведётся ли за ним слежка сейчас, или она велась ранее. Подобная неопределённость оказывает сковывающий эффект на правозащитников, оппозиционных политиков, юристов и активистов, и ограничивает их возможности в реализации своих прав, в том числе права на неприкосновенность частной жизни, свободу объединений, свободу мирных собраний и свободу выражения мнений."

Security culture should make openness more possible, not less. This proposal for security culture is based on reframing: on shifting our focus from fear to confidence, from risk aversion to courage, from isolation to connection, and from suspicion to trust."

La culture de la sécurité devrait faciliter et non pas limiter l'ouverture aux autres. Cette proposition de culture de la sécurité repose sur un recadrage – sur le passage de la peur à l'assurance, de l'aversion au risque au courage, de l'isolement aux liens, et de la suspicion à la confiance."

"The following precautions may seem extreme, but the technology of DNA matching has pushed us into a whole new era and the full impact has yet to be felt. During the 1990s, crime labs needed a sample that had hundreds of cells to be able to get a DNA print. Researchers have announced success with new techniques that require only a single cell as the sample. This technology will soon be in the crime labs if it's not already. With this advance, investigators can use a microscopic skin flake instead of needing a whole drop of blood or saliva. And humans are constantly shedding skin flakes."
