Redwood Curtain CopWatch, based in the north coast of California, is part of a larger movement of self organized CopWatch groups throughout the US. Our local efforts seek to intervene in the drastic rise of the presence, militarization, and violence of the police, and build support networks based on self-determination, caring, and concrete needs.

CopWatchers Arrested in Eureka!
Submitted by copwatch on Tue, 03/16/2010 - 2:10amLast night (Monday, March 15th) two copwatchers (of the three on patrol) were arrested on Broadway in Eureka. Humboldt County Sheriff Deputy, Joseph "Harsh" Marsh, seemed anxious to arrest anyone observing- he was not happy to see CopWatch on patrol.
The arrests were a major abuse of authority.
The cop confiscated our cameras, too.
We were released few minutes after midnight on Tuesday, March 16th.
More later. Keep watchin'!
