On the night of November 26, 2024, we attacked the headquarters of OptoPrecision in the Horn district of Bremen with incendiary devices. We set fire to the building in two different places. Stones, Molotov cocktails, and several liters of flammable mixture helped us with that.
OptoPrecision GmbH is a company based in Bremen. In its Security Systems division, the company develops surveillance technologies for the police, security services, and the military. Its product range extends from various laser and LED light sources to complete, custom-made systems for complex observation and surveillance tasks, both on land and at sea.
The company attracted our attention because of its close collaboration with the Saxony police. In collaboration with the Görlitz police department, OptoPrecision developed a mobile camera system for reliable video recordings, regardless of daylight, in order to identify people and vehicles. The use of the PerIS person identification system has made headlines this year. The system was tested in Saxony and, with the help of administrative assistance, at least in Lower Saxony, Berlin, North Rhine-Westphalia, Brandenburg and Baden-Württemberg.
Special technique for secret investigations
The cops are snooping around and increasingly intruding into all our private lives. OptoPrecision provides the technology for this. The company offers infrared laser lighting systems, specially designed for covert investigations by law enforcement agencies, which should allow for readable images from hundreds of meters away and in poor visibility conditions. It is increasingly being said that the cops are surveilling comrades for months, even years. OptoPrecision is happy to accept orders from the repressive authorities. This company is therefore co-responsible for the psychological terror, the sleepless nights, the isolation, the fear of searches, and also for the fact that comrades are in jail. We therefore consider our attack as a contribution to the practical work of fighting against repression. On this occasion, we send fiery greetings to our comrades who are in jail or on the run!
Surveillance technology has always been an important tool of the repressive apparatus. The digitization of society and the ever-new technical possibilities help the State to continue, in the future, to improve its public order capabilities. The radical left movement, anti-racist and anti-authoritarian, is already too often threatened by this evolution. A pessimistic view of the future must start from the fact that tomorrow’s right-wing governments and authorities are already preparing their weapons today. In the end, this will not only affect those who resist, but anyone who deviates from a state norm, who has a “bad” origin and/or is in a precarious economic situation. It is therefore not surprising that OptoPrecision not only accepts orders from the police, but also participates in the bloody business of Europe’s borders. On the company’s homepage, you can find techniques for the so-called “border protection.” The company’s vision of humanity is demonstrated, among other things, by the following excerpt from its homepage:
“The tasks of border protection include monitoring national borders and land, maritime, and aerial areas near the border.” In border protection, the challenge is to monitor people and objects over long distances, in varying weather and light conditions.
With OptoPrecision technology, people are monitored, chased, and ultimately killed. Continue reading “Bremen, Germany: Fire and flames for those who profit from fear. OptoPrecision attacked”
