Drawing on a case study from Turkey, this paper examines the hypervisibility of police surveillance and its affective power over the target populations’ political subjectivities. Turkish National Police introduced a system of community-oriented policing in 2006. Targeting the development of a public-police partnership, such policing practices paved the way for ever-increasing surveillance of Turkey’s ethno-racialized communities and the collusion between state and non-state actors. In today’s Turkey, to induce fear into the people or populations targeted, the undercover police officers do not always hide their identities. Elaborating on undercover policing as spectacle, the presentation addresses the affective force of the “spectacle of policing” (Comaroff and Comaroff 2006). More specifically it shows, how the spectacle of undercover policing triggers a desire to reject and defy the psychic power of the police over the self. Studies on surveillance and policing practices have shown that the threat posed by the undercover police creates fear among the people who are targeted. By taking a different path than such studies, the presentation suggests that the threat posed by police surveillance does not necessarily or exclusively produce docility, inaction, or a desire to withdraw from public visibility and become inactive. Through an exploration of the uncharted dimensions of responses that are conditioned by such surveillance, the paper illustrates that the panoptic gaze of the undercover police can be experienced as an assault on subjects’ agency and free will and urges a desire to manifest agency and express rage by being visible in the streets as acting, speaking and refusing subjects.
