No, real obstruction of fascist activity.

You're using a bunch of general language. Why don't you want to say what makes a protest effective?

Mass protests work because, aside from the implicit threat of violence, they grind economic activity to a halt.

Good luck not getting fired.

From the article https://icespy.org/

I think that's something they have, yeah. It's kind of unheard of to me. I can only imagine public servants like librarians or library assistants getting stalked, harassed, etc because their info is publicly available for anyone to access.

It's a public servants thing--the public wants to know what they're paying for, so public servant salary records are public.

Various websites compile this information from the various state and federal sources. It's wicked easy to find information on, say, every public servant with the title "librarian" in Fake County, Kentucky.

Knowing their full name, you can look up their home ownership records in the county real estate or tax databases and ta-da, you know where they live. You also know if they work part-time at a different public library, so that's convenient for stalking purposes.

Edit: not that I think it's a good thing. It's creepy as all get out. If we have to post salaries, I'd much rather they be anonymized like on Glassdoor.

Edit2: and these lists do get used for political ickiness. There's an anti-union group that mails out helpful tips on how to save money--leave your union. They even provide a "I want to leave" postcard addressed to your union leadership for you to sign, pre-filled-in with your info.

Why don't you want to say what makes a protest effective?

I can't find the article now, but I read one yesterday about LA protesters doing things like blocking ICE vehicles, towing them away and making noise outside their hotels so they can't sleep. They're actually confronting ICE and LAPD, draining away their energy and reducing the pace of arrests. Here's an example . Do this on a national scale and Trump's little Gestapo won't stand a chance.

Good luck not getting fired.

They can't fire everyone, but more importantly look up the events of Euromaidan, the various Arab spring revolutions and the recent Serbian (or was it Slovakian?) protests. It's impossible to overthrow authoritarianism without personal risk; that's just not how that works. You're free to choose the authoritarianism instead of the personal risk, but then you can't claim that you're resisting, because you're not; it's either or.

Commercial versions of these systems exist in the UK.

The Gdpr makes these things harder to do, but not automatically illegal.

Surely you have noticed that there is a lot of criticism of the GDPR and EU tech regulation.

Yeah, and some of it is even true.

I took a selfie and it told me I was an ice agent.... Wtf I'm such a piece of shit

I know that because I do a lot of street photography and there is no law in the UK forbidding photography of people in public spaces, it’s quite easy for you to Google this but I can’t provide you with a law condoning it as that’s not how it works.

Again show me in GDPR where it expressly forbids marching a face to a public dataset.

You're free to choose the authoritarianism instead of the personal risk, but then you can't claim that you're resisting, because you're not; it's either or.

There's "personal risk" and then there's losing your livelihood.

Should be at least streamed to a server not controlled by the police, including things like charge levels so they can't claim "oh whoops, it ran out of charge!". A specific organisation within the judiciary, perhaps?

This way they're gonna need to get far more creative in concealing video.

And if you're found to do something that is concealing evidence, well that's a crime by itself

first of all it's not lack of evidence, it is evidence itself. if the camera is not working that's tampering with evidence and is a good indication of guilt.

second of all if you can have laws like felony murder you can sure as shit have this. if you commit a felony (like a robbery), don't hurt anyone, and a cop murders a random person in response because they're trigger happy pigs, you can be held responsible for the murder as if you committed it yourself.

my suggestion is far more reasonable compared to that: if you kill someone you better have evidence that it wasn't foul play, because guess what, that's what everyone needs to do. we don't just allow people to kill and go free, and cops shouldn't be exempt.

This is nice. Use their own weapons against these fuckers.

Should be the ice agents too

Fuck you pig!

This reeks of a honey pot scheme for some reason.

You misunderstand how the system works.
They are all complicit.

Who is in power again? The protesters are not making anyone disappear. Goodbye, troll.

How is your flavor pallet after sucking so much leather?

Your point is moot.
