i don't think this other commenter was calling you out. i think they were just bringing up a point of discussion that's relevant to the point you brought up

Does her word override the first amendment?

There aren't many exceptions, and what's happening on a public street generally isn't one of them.

Does her word override the first amendment?

Doxxing federal agents and putting their lives in danger is a crime. The first amendment doesn't give you the right to do that without repercussions.

“the First Amendment protects the right to gather information about what public officials do on public property.” Smith v. City of Cumming, 212 F. 3d 1332, 1333 (11th Cir. 2000).

Decentrated?

Sure, you can gather that information. You can't then put it out there publicly to help people break the law, and to put federal law enforcement employees lives in danger.

You don't need a user account or password to receive a push notification.

You just need to have the app installed. The app can be configured by the developer to receive push notifications.

which is great for necessitating the need to give absolute militant power to police forces. It's like... the PR of him having a 'meltdown' is for a reason or something.

Good, those agents are playing a dangerous game and you should know if you play with fire your going get burned. Its a matter of time before they try to kidnap the wrong person, and that person decides its better to die in America then it is to go to a camp then deported.

Are you a lawyer? What law are you citing?

Can you prove that people are breaking the law by the mere collection and existence of this data?

How about those Flock ALPR cameras showing up everywhere? Can we be sure the collected data is being used in accordance with the law?

Yes, we should follow the laws like our government officials and police always do. Give me a fucking break lmao.

They're not just collecting it though, that's the point - they're publishing it on an app that is specifically made to help people evade law enforcement and to target violence at law enforcement.

Obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, to name a few.

You can choose to break the law if you want, but you can't then cry about it if/when you get caught. This guy can make his ICE-tracking app, but he has to live with the repercussions.

Defenestrated

They're not advocating violence, just reporting a fact. (A hammer is a tool, but also a murder weapon) But you do understand the power asymmetry of an unaccountable police force, right? And just how dangerous this is to civil society? There have been multiple accounts of excessive and incorrect deportations by ICE, with no visible effort to attempt to correct those problems. People are now using the meager tools we have left to try to enforce accountability, before there is only one last tool in the toolbox.

It’s important to buy devices that respect your privacy.

That’s not how push notifications on android work.

Nobody is crying about getting arrested. The fascists are arresting anyone they please without due process. The people risking their safety know the risks. ICE and the police are breaking the law by obscuring their faces and badge numbers, but you’re complaining about working class folks breaking laws written by the ruling class. Laws that they constantly ignore.
