Video and still cameras were often secreted about the vehicles, allowing the operators to film surreptitiously.
14th Intelligence Company - Statewatch 14th Intelligence Company - Statewatch
The 14 Intelligence Company was the successor to the Special Reconnaissance Unit (SRU), which was itself a reconstituted Military Reaction Force (MRF). [1] "Special Reconnaissance Unit" is the term appearing in official documents from the 1970s. An April 1974 briefing for Prime Minister Harold Wilson states: It has been alleged the alleged shootto-kill operation was set up following a tip-off from an IRA informer to the RUC. However, others claimed the operation was pre-planned and that the gang had been under surveillance after receiving weapons and documents stolen from a car belonging to members of the 14th Intelligence Company.In 1985, the family took a Civil Action against the soldiers, initiated by his father Denis Heaney (senior). Sadly, Dennis’ father died on 25th April that year and the case was then brought forward in the name of his mother Eilis Heaney as administratrix de-bonis-non of his estate. The case was heard by Justice L. J. Kelly who listened to the improbable accounts given by the soldiers and found in their favour: Unfortunately, until the review is completed, I am not in a position to consider releasing any documentation to you.”

During a first trial which collapsed, Mr Adams told the court he confronted his brother about the allegations in 1987 and Liam denied the abuse. The former soldier claims that an aunt by marriage is a first cousin and former neighbour of IRA man Seamus Donnelly, who was from Galbally in Co Tyrone.He explained that while serving in the north he never fired any shots because the methods republicans, and in particular the IRA, were using ensured "there was never an opportunity to engage".

a b Urban, Mark (1992). Big Boys' Rules: The SAS and the Secret Struggle Against the IRA. London: Faber and Faber. ISBN 9780571161126. April 1974: Captain Anthony Pollen was shot dead in Derry City while carrying out undercover surveillance on a Sinn Féin event. He was shot twice in front of a crowd of more than 150 people. Soldiers A and B appear to be mature experienced soldiers. They were both NCOs at the time and this case is concerned with the analysis of their actions and reactions and not with those of young inexperienced soldiers caught in an unexpected situation that perhaps might lead to impulsive action or disproportionate reaction. Indeed, Soldier A frankly said that he did not shoot the deceased in panic, but coolly and deliberately and with the intention of killing him.
Several secretive military intelligence units operated in Northern Ireland at the time, including 14th Intelligence Company, also known as the Det, and several special collation teams.
