Funny jokes to tell Judges on the record.

This has been their stance since September. It has been tried in several federal district courts and has been shot down every time (thank fuck). The Supreme Court has declined to take up the government's appeals (thank fuck). So, a rare win for the good guys?

I guess it's technically true: "regular people terrorize nazi dogs by filming their mis-deeds"

[–] Eddbopkins@lemmy.world 7 points 10 hours ago

i'd argue ICE proud boy nazi Justice Department hires are terrorizing the American public.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago

So, recording illegal shit done by an administration headed up by a convict is "terrorism" now.

So much freedom.

Like when DHS used footage of their paramilitary operation in Chicago as promotional material?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 hour ago

Demanding consistency rather than hypocrisy is also domestic terrorism.

[–] melsaskca@lemmy.ca 34 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The DOJ can say anything it likes. They lost all credibility and no one believes them anymore.

[–] floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

I mean, what they say determines whether you're going to jail or not

[–] InputZero@lemmy.world 10 points 15 hours ago

Does it though? It seems like they're going with their vibes more than the law. Wouldn't matter if you listen to them or not, piss law enforcement off and you're a terrorist. They'll find something you did to fit the bill.

Is this what CPAC meant when their banner said "We Are All Domestic Terrorists" ?

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 4 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

This year the banner will say, "You are all domestic terrorists."

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 8 points 15 hours ago

I will be sure to do it then. Guess we're terrorists now.

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 89 points 1 day ago (3 children)

So, filming domestic terrorism is now domestic terrorism?

[–] ZILtoid1991@lemmy.world 9 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Yo dawg I heard you like domestic terrorism, so we put domestic terrorism into your domestic terrorism, so you can commit domestic terrorism while committing domestic terrorism.

Please U.S.A., Pimp my authoritarian police state! 🙏

War is peace.

Freedom is slavery.

Ignorance is strength.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 9 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

kinda like how they made ag gag laws, so you can film animal abuse in plants and farms.

That's fucked up enough, but filming inside the plants and farms could be considered inside somebody else's private property. This seems like it could be applied to filming on a street corner or even your own home.

You do not have an expectation of privacy in public. This is not doxing. That’s not even what doxing means.

Everything is dumb.

You assume this administration gives a shit about reason and rules.

[–] DeathByBigSad@sh.itjust.works 22 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

Wait what, I never knew CPAC is filming immigration raids.

(Cuz CPAC said they're all domestic terrorists)

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 40 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Good luck with that. I hope I get called to jury duty for one of those cases.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 29 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

does no one remember the 2000s? the whole point of calling something terrorism is to circumvent due process. no jury, not even a lawyer.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 3 points 11 hours ago

They are blocking offshore wind turbines due to unspecified "classified national security issues" as a gimmick to block legal appeals.

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 34 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How optimistic of you, to think there will be a trial. Those camps are ultimately for us all.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

They're currently building a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo Bay, presumably to hold people they can't deport, like American citizen "domestic terrorists." Our very own CECOT.

Prosecute Flock for every camera that ever recorded ICE activity, even just a vehicle driving on the highway.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 45 points 1 day ago

Create an app that takes Flock's incredible poorly secured data and uses it to track and publicly broadcast 24/7 the location of every ICE and federal law enforcement agent you can.

Haha supreme court says we have a 1st amendment right to film law enforcement. Get fucked pedo lovers.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 113 points 1 day ago (1 children)

At this point I accept no prior judgments (or good judgement for that matter) that differs from the party's perspective.

Time is running out.

This amounts to lowering the bar for those willing to say "if I'm going to be a terrorist then fuck it" and start shooting. It's irresponsible and dangerous.

That's straight up USA becoming a totalitarian state.
How does the American population keep accepting this development without doing anything about it?
