Gestapo criminals committing hate crimes
Odd, this is exactly what criminals would do.
do do.
Heh.
If someone shows up in an unmarked car with no badge and tries to abduct you, why can't you just shoot them?
You can! As much as you can shoot anyone. You're just likely to be severely outgunned and also you'll have to stand trial over it. No idea the odds of winning that case, but the govt largely isn't going after people with money to hire lawyers. Probably get a defense fund donated bigger than Mangione.
Wait, what am I thinking? They will just deport you rather than have a trial and risk a judge declaring their tactics illegal and granting a self-defense claim to resisters.
We had a fellow who shot at the unmarked unidentified police roaming around Minneapolis during the civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd. He was at a gas station if I remember and they beat the shit out of him. It took a while but he won the case and some money.
I think that guy actually shot back when they were driving around firing pepper balls at random people.
I thought it was “rubber” bullets they were firing at people out past curfew. Looks no different than an AR, sounds no different than an AR, how is one to know the difference in the split second when they feel their life is on the line? Answer is: they can’t, if you feel like your life or person is in danger, the sword is the only way.
You're not likely to stand trial over it

Isn't that "stand your ground"? Or does that only work on black or brown people?
So if someone wants to commit crimes, they can get take the plates off an unassuming van and the cops wont touch them? Got it.
They are ALL going to disappear like ghosts when the Dem govs finally get off their asses and deputize the scores of ex military and LEO that are NOT in love with Trump. I am shocked Pritzker has not done this yet. I along with many of my retired LEO are chomping at the bit to get rid of these bad apples.
Hooah
Do your fr think the dems ae going to do that? I admire your hope but that is so insanely unlikely. If anything, they will campaign about it and then do nothing like usual
Can't be held accountable if there's no accountability!
Seriously, officers who aren't pulling them over and ticketing/arresting then should be fired or removed imm
they are most likely being told higher up in secret not to.
Yeah this is no different then defunding covid studies / the cdc and claiming covid no longer exists
Take a picture of the VIN! It’s on the windshield at the bottom. Sometimes other places too
What do we do with the VIN?
It’s tied to the title and if it’s a private vehicle will tell you who the owner is. Theoretically.

Man. Driving around without plates is always sure to raise an eyebrow in most people.
I'm starting to wonder if we need something to mark a part of the vehicle to alert people it is definitely ICE. Something like vital to the vehicle so they can't just remove it. Like a tire. Maybe something you could like quickly toss in front of and behind a tire. Something that will stick in it. Tires are pretty thick so maybe something slightly sharp, but strong. Maybe two pieces of purpose built steel wrapped around each other. Like that "jacks" game with the bouncy ball.
Just paint. Any color. Nail polish works.
good idea. or maybe a paintball that doesnt wash off.
Like these, which are used for marking trees or livestock https://nelsonpaint.com/nelson-pellet-mark-oil-base-marking-pellets-120-ct-box/

Get the VIN if you get close enough
And do what with it?
Certainly nothing illegal
Ok but seriously, what are you going to do? Find out who owns it? Check the accident report? This whole "no plates" commotion is pointless. The police don't give a shit. We know that and so far it seems as if nothing will change that.
Check the Carfax

Oh oh! I know! If they really want to look ghostly then they could wear white sheets over themselves while arresting people.
👻
With some kind of pointy hood?
A grand ‘ol wizard’s hat perchance?
Be more ghostlike, you say? I'm sure we can find some people that are willing to facilitate.
Apparently one of them was a good Nazi recently
The link for "Customs and Border Patrol agent" goes to fucking careers dot CBP dot gov. Whatever news outlet that is is doing recruitment advertising in an article about a suicide.

Like the KKK ghost uniform? Yeah, okay.
I want these traffickers to be turned into ghosts.
They are more like ghost farts that leave a nasty stain on the american Constitution
Noem says she is just doing it to protect the kids on Halloween and keep them safe. Well shouldn't we as good citizens help their kids and go and protect their neighborhoods while they are protecting ours... Seems only fair.

Remind me of other times in history when a militarized government agency was allowed to operate in secret with total impunity and how that turned out.
Secret Police gonna secret.
Plate less?? What the actual fuck
