Comment on ICE's 'Frightening' Facial Recognition App is Scanning US Citizens Without Their Consent

  Every officer has a badge number that uniquely identifies then, and they are legally required to provide that information. When filing a complaint or a lawsuit, you’ll provide their name and badge number. If they refuse, you provide as much information as you can (area, time of day, type of vehicle, vehicle number, other officers and badge numbers involved, etc) so they can track the officer down.

  I don’t know how ICE works specifically, but many police departments require their officers to carry business cards with that information and hand them out upon request.

  Civilians have a right to verify that the people involved are actually officers and have a right to identify individual offices to report misconduct.

  I don’t care if officers wear masks, I only care that they can be uniquely identified.

    Have you ever seen an example of an ICE agent sharing a badge number on video from this year?

      Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

      Have you seen an instance where a citizen or legal immigrant calmly asked for name and badge number and was refused?

        Yes I have. There are only videos of people asking for badge numbers without getting a response. There are none where a badge number is given.

        My point was that we need to see their faces because they will not identify themselves. Thats a big problem if we ever pull ourselves out of this; they will attempt to rejoin society like nothing happdened after illegally brutalizing american citizens. We need to know who the traitors are.
