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

    So much freedom.

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

        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.

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

    Everything is dumb.

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

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

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

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

      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.

    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.

      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.”

      Hostile actors not belonging to a state recognized by the government.

      Hence why russians in UKR are soldiers but Hamas are terrorists (and not IDF)

      Even by that cynical definition though, calling nonviolent actors filming police is laughable.

      (The PLA guys in great britian makes sense when you consider they assaulted an army personel woth a sledge hammer while commiting their act of sabotage which the news seemed to conveniently ignore in most articles)

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

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