Comment on Exclusive: Evidence of cell phone surveillance detected at anti-ICE protest
roofuskit@lemmy.world 1 week agoThis is illegal without a warrant. And judges have been denying broad sweeping warrants that would cover such situations.

Pretty sure this kind of thing has been illegal since before Edward Snowden became a whistleblower, tbh. The US Government hasn’t cared about people’s privacy and the laws surrounding it for decades.
Relying on the rule of law is reactive.
Ditching the phone is proactive.
Be Proactive.
It’s endearing that you think that even matters anymore
It’s sad that people like you completely giving up are exactly why we are in an authoritarian slide.
They’re not giving up. They’re simply observing things that are happening.
Way to infer meaning, slugger.
If you think law enforcement violating the law doesn’t matter then I inferred nothing.
You’re assuming the ICErs give a shit about warrants, and they often do not.
The US Government only gives a shit when they are caught. You’d have a damn hard time trying to prove mass surveillance to a court even though we all know they do it.

We are in different times. This administration doesn’t care about warrants.

It honestly doesn’t care about “illegal” much either 😅

Strangely, it does seem to care about under-age people.
