But the DOJ has pretty much unlimited resources and essentially no penalty for frivolous lawsuits.

No, don't let them have this one. Filming police does not, and never will, make you a terrorist.

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.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 95 points 3 months ago (10 children)

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

[–] A_norny_mousse@feddit.org 47 points 3 months ago (18 children)

They don't accept it. Many do something.

The revolution will not be televised.

OPSEC is a thing.

Thank you for your concern, but you should probably focus on efforts in your country to move towards this kind of system.

It doesn't matter where you are in the world right now, there are efforts being made to bring fascism there.

Personally if there was something I alone could do to end this that doesn’t:

  1. Place my family in danger
  2. Require I die
  3. Has 100% chance of success

I’d be all-in in a heartbeat. The problem is each of my requirements has risk that fluctuates, and all three of them have never been worth-it enough at the same time.

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

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 45 points 3 months 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.

So, filming domestic terrorism is now domestic terrorism?

Terrorism has always been a convenient label for "official enemies".

[–] n0respect@lemmy.world 38 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I knew this was gonna happen. "terrorism" being defined as "violence and intimidation for political means" .... the authorities claiming that recording them is not only intimidation, but that intimidation is de facto the threat of violence!

"Speech is violence" is what they claim, which equates to political speech = terrorism.

It's for this reason I believe "terrorism" in and of itself shouldn't be a crime. But I digress.

[FTA} the Justice Department encourages federal prosecutors to press "domestic terrorism" charges against people for "doxing" law enforcement officers. [...] which the Justice Department insinuates is a threatening activity used to "silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society."

[–] Cosmonauticus@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago (2 children)

I saw this coming whenever they claimed terrorists were unlawful enemy combatants back in the early 2000s

[–] theacharnian@lemmy.ca 46 points 3 months ago (2 children)

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.

And being anti fascist is terrorism now too, hmm I'm beginning to think being a "terrorist" these days is pretty cool

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

[–] SnarkoPolo@lemmy.world 34 points 3 months 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 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months 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.

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

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

(Cuz CPAC said they're all domestic terrorists)

[–] Almacca@aussie.zone 20 points 3 months ago

Since we're renaming departments, maybe they should change the name to the Injustice Department, or the Department of Capricious Punishment or something more fitting.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 15 points 3 months ago

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

So much freedom.

[–] Railing5132@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

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?

[–] TheReturnOfPEB@reddthat.com 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

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