|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Detective Sergeant Harriet Winter is a special liaison officer collborating with Inspector Nigel Coltman, who works for Wealden and East Sussex County Council who employ police officers, funded by rate payers taxes.
DS Winter is short and unattractive, looking to make a career for herself. She works with East Sussex County Council, who, typically employ attractive female staff to sway male and female targets to make false accusations, or otherwise cooperate to spy on intelligent, or non-conforming members of the public (deemed activists), who they see as potential political or other home security threats. Such as innovators who they cannot bribe. The State prefers to work with corruptible engineers and programmers who they have better control over. They see Jimmy Watson and his father as incorruptible. Making them targets, as in Ant Man, where Pym Technologies had to make their founder a security risk to get rid of him, so that Darren Cross could develop the Pym Particle for illegal purposes.
In addition, the police work with other agencies, using anti terrorist powers money laundering statutes and the criminal justice system to keep track on potential threats to national security, somewhat bending the law in the process. Named 'Noble Cause Corruption' by the courts, and tolerated and even encouraged by the MOD. With MAPPA being used to keep track of bank accounts, purchases, travel, and other private information. It is spying on the individual as every police officer is well aware. And told to turn a blind eye. In Nazi Germany such tactics were prevalent, used by the feared and hated Gestapo, in Adolf Hitler's evil regime.
In this case DS Winter is being paid extra bonuses by the MOD as perks and untraceable benefits, and salary rises, promotions etc.,, and expects to receive futher promotion in return for her cooperation. Though ordered to tow the party line, she is sometimes less than comfortable, being in-effect, forced to break the law, and deny citizens their basic human rights. But, she needs the money and can ill afford to be sacked for blowing the whistle. When, she would become a target herself. You are either in the system and go with the system, or in the words of the Blade Runner's police boss: "You are little people."
Secretly, Harriet is against bending the law in this way. She has been ordered to prosecute Johnny Baxter and Jamie Moonlight, to then be able to use these two patsies as informants to reduce their sentences, forcing the two boys to spy on Jimmy and Timothy Watson for the State.
This plot involves Field Marshall Sir Rodney Dunbar, who is himself being spied on and used by the CIA's Jack Mason, who is a double agent, working for DARPA and their advanced super soldiers and robotics programmes. A security risks, suspected of selling classified secrets to China and Russia. But as yet there is no definitive proof, such as to prosecute anyone under the Official Secrets Acts.
The whole plan falls to pieces when young Jimmy steps in to save Johnny Baxter. DS Winter is then pleased to be able to report that she was unable to trap either of the Hailsham Community College students into becoming abused by the state, and their puppeteers for life.
Harriet
Winter is proud of Jimmy, wishing her son, if and when she has one, would
turn out like Master Watson. She also wishes she could find employment where
she did not have to lie and cheat for a living. It made her feel dirty. She
was looking for a way to escape the system, without any comeback on future
employment.
