Raspberry Pi hires former spy gadget-maker who baked devices into surveillance ops
A former technical surveillance officer at the UK's Eastern Region Special Operations Unit – a team charged with tackling serious organized crime and terrorism across seven local police forces – has joined the Raspberry Pi Foundation and expressed his professional admiration for the organization's single board computers when pressed into service on police business.
"I have used Raspberry Pi a lot in various police tactics over the years," Roberts is quoted as saying in the Foundation's post announcing his appointment. "I was a Technical Surveillance Officer for 15 years, so I built stuff to hide video, audio, and other covert gear," he explained."You really don't want your sensitive police equipment discovered, so I'd disguise it as something else, like a piece of street furniture or a household item.", one of the Foundation's microcontrollers.
Sadly, the post announcing his appointment doesn't mention exactly how he used the Pi while he was doing police work, or whether he'll consult to former colleagues or similar agencies in future.
