Apparently ICE agents are running the plates of protestors who are following them around.
Then, at the end of the day, the agents drive to the address the car following them is registered at.
The protestors are kinda upset by that.
While it's a bit creepy, I'm not really seeing anything illegal about it.
The worst I can come up with is wasting resources.
I'm, again, caught between wanting the liberty where the cops can't tell where I live from reading my car's tax stamp and wanting people who are actively trying to intimidate and thwart the enforcement of a reasonable law to be punished for it.
Oh, I forgot, yeah that license plate is just supposed to be proof of tax paid and it was promised that it would never be used for other purposes.
When government lies like they do about that kind of stuff, it's no wonder so many people like me are conflicted between the wanting more liberty and the wanting the laws enforced.
The Social Security number was just supposed to be used for Social Security, not as a general ID number.
ReplyDeleteBank Teller: SSN?
ReplyDeleteMe: Uh, that's not valid for ID according to my accountant spouse.
Teller: Things change. SSN?
Me: Sigh.
A better set of data would be the timestamp map of cell phone GPS locations. They would get more data points. A argument could be made for wire-tapping to get voice and text data.
