I've been thinking, I'm pretty sure there is a big server farm billed to DHS in some Govcloud that is hoovering up all these videos and indexing and archiving them for use by ICE, but if those guys are really supergeniuses they will know that they are collecting a massive trove of evidence of 1/3
When ICE gets caught lying to be able to eat at a restaurant with the very people they’re terrorizing, the community used video surveillance against them proving they’d exited a confirmed ICE vehicle and entered the restaurant. The crowd then lets the agents (scouts) know exactly how they feel.
