  Does her word override the first amendment?

  Doxxing federal agents and putting their lives in danger is a crime. The first amendment doesn’t give you the right to do that without repercussions.

    “the First Amendment protects the right to gather information about what public officials do on public property.” Smith v. City of Cumming, 212 F. 3d 1332, 1333 (11th Cir. 2000).

      Sure, you can gather that information. You can’t then put it out there publicly to help people break the law, and to put federal law enforcement employees life in danger.

        Can you prove that people are breaking the law by the mere collection and existence of this data?

        How about those Flock ALPR cameras showing up everywhere? Can we be sure the collected data is being used in accordance with the law?

    Showing the current location of [what is supposed to be] a public servant in a public location acting publicly is not doxxing.

      The purpose of the app odd to help illegal immigrants evade arrest, and to help “activists” assault and impede ICE. All illegal things.

        The app merely informs of locations, you choosing to add all that bullshit to it is your own hangup. Citizens who don’t want to be abducted by power tripping unidentified masked men - who’ve already been south to be violent and aggressive to random people regardless of status are also avoiding those areas. That’s not illegal.

        ICE are the ones breaking the law.
