This is illegal without a warrant. And judges have been denying broad sweeping warrants that would cover such situations.

[–] Pulsar@lemmy.world 108 points 11 months ago (1 children)

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

It honestly doesn't care about "illegal" much either 😅

Edit: for themselves of course! Everyone else...

*so long as the perpetrator is of an appropriate skin tone or works for a government agency

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

pardon me, sir, but this is illegal withou-

click

hey! Uncuff me! This is illegal!

car door shuts

Hey! Let me out of this car!

vroooooom

Where are we going!? You can't take me to jail!

arrives at jail

Dear family, they call this place prison, it looks like prison, and I've been issued what they're calling a "lawyer", but impossible as that may be considering they didn't have a warrant, I can only deduce that I've been kidnapped by a vigilante to a remote location pretending to be a prison!

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.

It’s endearing that you think that even matters anymore

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (2 children)

It's sad that people like you completely giving up are exactly why we are in an authoritarian slide.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 11 months ago

They're not giving up. They're simply observing things that are happening.

[–] lemmy_acct_id_8647@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Way to infer meaning, slugger.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

If you think law enforcement violating the law doesn't matter then I inferred nothing.

[–] lemmy_acct_id_8647@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I think they don’t give a fuck if they’re violating the law. Why don’t you get tf out of here with your self righteous bullshit kiddo.

Fucking infighting bullshit.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

Wow, you really quickly forgot how you started this of with a condescending apathetic statement.

It’s endearing that you think that even matters anymore

You’re assuming the ICErs give a shit about warrants, and they often do not.
