"In recent years, however, DNA analysis has become increasingly important in political investigations. Police are collecting more and more DNA traces from crime scenes and suspects. Thanks to improved techniques, even small traces can now provide information about people. Sometimes a DNA trace is decisive for a conviction in court. All of this raises questions that we want to address, at least in part, in this comic. Where is DNA found to begin with, and how does it get there? What is appropriate during actions or when repression is imminent? We want to become more confident in dealing with DNA in actions and criminal cases."
Other languages
(de) Umgang mit DNA in der Praxis
"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."

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.

"This zine explores the conspiracy case that came out of the G20 summit in Toronto, Canada in 2010. It examines the role anarchists played in organizing resistance to the G20 and the ways in which the state responded to this activity. It can help sharpen our understanding of how states use surveillance, infiltration, and the legal system itself to prevent people from acting. It's an important expansion on the topics raised in other more basic security culture zines."

"Я забралась по пожарной лестнице на кондиционер и затем на крышу. Прокралась позади камеры, схватила ее обеими руками, сорвала ее с крепления и перекусила провод. Я никогда раньше этого не делала и не была уверена, не сработала ли какая-нибудь неслышимая мне сигнализация и не смотрел ли кто-то через камеру в момент, когда трансляция прервалась, поэтому я быстро запихнула кусачки и камеру в сумку и вернулась к велосипеду."

"A burner phone is a single-use phone, unattached to your identity, which can theoretically be used to communicate anonymously in situations where communications may be monitored. Whether or not using a burner phone is itself a “best practice” is up for debate, but if you've made the choice to use one, there are several things you should keep in mind."

(el) Οι καλύτερες πρακτικές για την χρήση καρτοκινητών
"Ένα καρτοκινητό είναι ένα κινητό μίας χρήσης όπου θεωρητικά χρησιμοποιείται ανώνυμα σε περιπτώσεις που οι επικοινωνίες μπορεί να παρακολουθούνται. Παρόλο που υπάρχουν αρκετές αμφιβολίες για το εάν η χρήση τους είναι σωστή ή όχι, εάν πήρες την απόφαση να χρησιμοποιήσεις ένα υπάρχουν κάποια πράγματα τα οποία ίσως χρειαστεί να σκεφτείς."
(fr) Les bonnes pratiques pour utiliser un téléphone jetable
"Un téléphone jetable (en anglais burner phone) est un téléphone à usage unique qui n'est pas relié à ton identité et peut théoriquement être utilisé pour communiquer de manière anonyme dans les situations où tes communications sont susceptibles d'être surveillées et interceptées. Leur utilisation même fait débat et n'est pas nécessairement une « bonne pratique », mais si tu fais le choix d'en utiliser un, il faut prêter attention à quelques points précis."

"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."

"I want to have the kinds of security practices that allow me to be open while knowing that I've assessed the risk I face and am taking smart steps to minimize it. 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."

"Je veux avoir le genre de pratiques de sécurité qui me permettent d'être ouverte tout en sachant que j'ai évalué les risques auxquels je suis exposée et que je prends des mesures intelligentes pour les minimiser. 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."

Los investigadores han anunciado victoriosamente de haber obtenido hoy nuevas técnicas que requieren solo una sola célula como muestra.

Con este avance, los investigadores pueden usar una microscópica escama de piel en lugar de necesitar una gota entera de sangre o de saliva. Y los humanos pierden constantemente escamas de piel."

"[A] shotgun is your best bet at taking down a drone. Preferably one loaded with the largest spread ammunition you can find.

"This short zine is a discussion of security culture that argues that respect for the security needs of our comrades is an essential aspect of any movement for liberation. It identifies a concept that the authors call “the invisible ground”. They use this concept to describe an imagined distinction between “under-” and “above-” ground activities. Instead the authors argue that there is a constantly shifting terrain in which the state is redefining the boundaries of “acceptable” and “unacceptable” protest."

"Transparent Lives: Surveillance in Canada details nine key trends in the processing of personal information, trends that are evident throughout the world. They affect all Canadians, but few citizens are aware of how, when, for what purpose, or with what consequences their personal data are used by large organizations. Hence the title: Transparent Lives. This book demonstrates that our lives are open and visible to organizations as never before and that in every area of life — as citizens, consumers, workers, and travellers — this makes a difference."

"Vivre à nu : la surveillance au Canada expose neuf grandes tendances qui sont observées dans le traitement des renseignements personnels partout dans le monde. Ces tendances touchent tous les Canadiens, mais peu d'entre eux savent comment, quand et à quelles fins leurs données personnelles sont utilisées par les grandes organisations et quelles sont les conséquences de cette utilisation. Voilà pourquoi cet ouvrage est intitulé Vivre à nu ; il démontre que nos vies sont plus que jamais ouvertes et visibles pour les organismes et que cette visibilité a de réels effets sur chaque sphère de notre vie, que nous soyons citoyens, consommateurs, travailleurs ou voyageurs."

"A security culture is a set of customs shared by a community whose members may be targeted by the government, designed to minimize risk. Having a security culture in place saves everyone the trouble of having to work out safety measures over and over from scratch, and can help offset paranoia and panic in stressful situations — hell, it might keep you out of prison, too."
Other languages
(de) What Is Security Culture?
"Eine Sicherheitskultur ist eine Reihe von Angewohnheiten, die von einer Gruppe geteilt wird. Eine Sicherheitskultur ist so entworfen, dass sie für Menschen, die vom Staat verfolgt werden könnten, das Risiko senkt geschnappt zu werden. Eine Sicherheitskultur zu haben, spart den Aufwand immer wieder bei Null anzufangen um Sicherheitsmaßnahmen auszuarbeiten. Sie kann helfen Paranoia entgegenzuwirken und in stressigen Situationen Panik zu vermeiden und sie kann euch Zeit im Knast ersparen."
(es) ¿Qué es la cultura de seguridad?
"La cultura de seguridad es un conjunto de costumbres compartidas por una comunidad, los miembros de la cual pueden ser objetivo del gobierno, diseñadas para minimizar el riesgo. Tener una cultura de la seguridad ahorra a todo el grupo la molestia de tener que elaborar medidas de seguridad continuamente desde cero, y puede ayudar a deshacerse de la paranoia y el pánico en situaciones estresantes — joder, podría incluso mantenerte fuera de prisión."
(fa) فرهنگ امنیت چیست؟
"فرهنگ امنیت یکسری از عادات مشترک بین افراد یک اجتماع است که اعضای آن ممکن است تحت نظر حکومت باشند. این عادات برای به حداقل رساندن خطر طراحی شدهاند. در کار بودن یک فرهنگ امنیت، افراد را از درگیری مداوم و پایهای با نکات امنیتی رها میکند؛ و میتواند از شکاکبودن و وحشتزده شدن در موقعیتهای پراسترس جلوگیری کند، مهمتر از همه میتواند مانع به زندان افتادنتان شود!"
(fr) Cultures de la sécurité
"Une culture de la sécurité est une série d'habitudes, de coutumes partagées par une communauté dont les membres peuvent être impliqué·e·s dans des activités illégales, et dont la pratique minimise les risques encourus. Avoir mis en place une telle culture peut éviter aux membres du groupe de réinventer à chaque fois la roue en la matière, et contribue à limiter les sentiments de paranoïa et de panique dans des situations stressantes — ça peut aussi vous éviter d'aller en tôle."
(id) Apa Itu Budaya Keamanan?
"Budaya Keamanan (selanjutnya disebut Security Culture) adalah serangkaian tradisi yang dihidupi bersama oleh suatu komunitas yang anggotanya memiliki kemungkinan untuk dijadikan target oleh pemerintah dan kelompok fundamentalis, suatu tradisi yang didesain untuk meminimalisir resiko. Menerapkan security culture di dalam komunitas kita membuat kita dapat terhindar dari kerja-kerja menjenuhkan untuk menakar tingkat keamanan kita lagi dan lagi yang selalu saja dimulai dari awal. Budaya ini juga dapat membantu mengimbangi paranoia dan kepanikan di dalam situasi yang penuh tekanan — yoi men, budaya ini juga bisa jadi dapat membantumu terhindar dari lembabnya sel penjara."
(it) Cos’è la cultura della sicurezza?
"La cultura della sicurezza è un set di abitudini condivide da una comunità di cui i membri potrebbero essere presi di mira dal governo, ed è pensata pr minimizzare i rischi. Avere una solida cultura della sicurezza salva lo sforzo di dover lavorare su misure di sicurezza ogni volta da zero, e può aiutare a compensare la paranoia e il panico in situazioni stressanti — e può tenerti fuori dalla prigione."
(pl) O co chodzi z kulturą bezpieczeństwa?
"Kultura bezpieczeństwa jest zbiorem zachowań, nawyków wspólnych dla grupy/społeczności, której członkowie/członkinie narażeni/one są na inwigilacje. Wzorce tych zachowań stworzone zostały w celu zminimalizowania zagrożenia. Wypracowanie kultury bezpieczeństwa pomaga uniknąć konieczności ciągłego maglowania tematu i przegadywania go za każdym razem od nowa i „po łebkach”, pomaga też ograniczać paranoję i panikę w sytuacjach stresowych. Cholera, może ona też zwyczajnie ochronić cię przed trafieniem za kratki."
(pt) O que é Cultura de Segurança?
"Uma cultura de segurança é um conjunto de hábitos compartilhados por uma comunidade cujos membros possam realizar atividades ilegais, cuja prática minimiza os riscos de tais atividades. Ter uma cultura de segurança poupa a todos o trabalho de ter que decidir medidas de segurança inúmeras vezes, desde o princípio, e pode ajudar a diminuir a paranoia e o pânico em situações de estresse — diabos, ela pode salvar você da prisão também."
(ru) Культура безопасности
"Культура безопасности — это совокупность привычек, разделяемых сообществом, участники которого, возможно, занимаются нелегальной деятельностью. Эти привычки снижают риск, связанный с этой деятельностью. Поддержание культуры безопасности избавляет от необходимости снова и снова заморачиваться выработкой мер безопасности и каждый раз с нуля, а также помогает избежать паранойи и паники в стрессовой ситуации — да что там говорить, это может спасти вас от тюрьмы, в конце концов."
(uk) Що таке культура безпеки
"Культура безпеки спільноти, переслідуваної силовиками, це набір її звичаїв, розроблених задля зменшення ризику. Наявність дієвої культури безпеки усуває потребу розробляти заходи безпеки знову й знову з нуля, а також може допомогти протидії недовірі й паніці в стресових ситуаціях — чи навіть вберегти вас від ув’язнення."

"We are born with our fingerprints, and we'll never be able to change them or get rid of them. Whenever you touch something with your fingertips you leave behind your calling card. The police will have a varying degree of difficulty in reproducing your prints depending on the surface upon which it lies."
