Hank Investigates: Secret Police Files

Now video you'll see on just one station--and it may include pictures of you! Tonight in her exclusive report, Hank reveals how law enforcement officials are secretly videotaping events--and creating secret "intelligence files" about innocent people! And now two major civil rights groups are calling for the practice to stop! How could it happen? Hank investigates.

Are you in this video? If you were at the peace march at the Park Street T last October you might be. But 7news didn't shoot this--it's from Boston police department's secret surveillance files! Files marked "homeland security" and "extremist".

Susan Barney of Arlington--a child care provider--was shocked to find her peaceful appearances in public places were being watched--and documented.

Susan Barney, Arlington Resident:
I am in no way a terrorist. I am no way a criminal.
