… after seriously beating him up. Bunch of cowardly thugs.
It’s called ‘civil forfeiture’, been happening for literal decades (at least), and it’s, unfortunately, probably legal.
Gotta love how being a cop in the US is so legal that we have to give them new, extra-legal ways to exist so they feel appreciated by the peasants.
So can we buy some of them Israeli pagers and let them steal those.
Before this all shakes out, I could see some guerilla shit like this being a key tool in violent resistance. Magnets are pretty strong, too, so under vehicle, easily attachable devices might be very effective.
Just like the death camp guards at Auschwitz who looted jewelry and gold teeth from their prisoners. Guess history does repeat after all.
A very appropriate analogy. 100%
After being detained and released by ICE, Arnoldo’s family took him to Texas Children’s Hospital, where staff moved him to a trauma unit after identifying signs of the chokehold, according to ProPublica. Records show that doctors ordered dozens of CT scans and x-rays, including for his head, neck, and spine. His family says that the agents threatened to charge Arnoldo with assaulting an officer if his dad didn’t agree to be deported. The father is now in Mexico.
It’s long been understood that one of the simplest and the surest ways to maintain the loyalty of the violent thugs you hire to oppress and kill on your behalf is to let them loot their victims.
It’s worked wonders for centuries. Half the reason “you should go to war” was a thing was because of the unspoken “so you can steal a bunch of shit from the villages you burn”.
Raping and pillaging, and all that.
We’re giving These People COMPLETE TAX PAYER IMMUNITY to Do this to Children! AWESOME!
-People who show up Armed to Drag Shows!
You know it’s bad if BigMacHole is being less sarcastic
… That might be so despicably evil that I mostly just fixate on how many cops around the world must feel out gamed.
Of course they did. And they have full immunity too. 🙄
They only have immunity because the laws aren’t enforced.
They don’t actually have immunity under the laws today. ICE are not law enforcement, they do not have the ability or jurisdiction to be law enforcement. Most of their actions are illegal under State and federal laws. However actual law enforcement refuses to enforce the laws in regards to ICE.
They don’t. I know what you mean, but I’d rather not just repeat the lie and let it sit there.
They can literally just shoot random people and nothing happens
Or sell their possessions like in this case
Yeah but that’s because they’re breaking the law and nobody’s enforcing consequences. I get what you’re saying, they do have effective immunity because the system is compromised, but they do not have legal immunity and are healing the law. If we course correct (we can’t, but maybe a fuckin miracle will happen) they’ll all be able to prosecuted under existing laws by judges and prosecutors that fulfill their oaths. It’s an ultimately meaningless distinction unless we course correct, but it’s worth pointing out for the sake of factual accuracy.
It’ll be years before any of this catches up to them, if it does. But it might.
They don’t, felony theft is a state crime and you have to provide id to pawn or sell a phone.
Don’t they have immunity from state crimes too now?
No, jd Vance is just an idiot who doesn’t know words.
Time to leave the good phone at home and use a super cheap burner on an esim when out in public
I suggest a note 7. On the off chance it explodes on them.
Holy crap that’s genius, too bad they made me send it back to them…
Paying back the national debt one phone at a time, thats the TRUMP difference
