    If you go to a protest, wear a gaiter and glasses and ballcap just like those ICE fuckers. And depending where you live you might just want to make this your default outfit for leaving the house at all.

      And for the love of god, leave your cell phone at home, or worst case, buy a burner with cash and don’t even turn in on unless its an emergency.

      Do all the things they tell you not to do on your passport and driver’s license photos.

      They’re fine with that, makes it more likely the app won’t recognize you. And if the app doesn’t recognize you then straight into the unmarked van never to be seen again.

      4th Amendment doesn’t even specify “citizens”, it’s “the people”.

      “The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

      I’m sure they have a warrant to sieze your image, right? Um… right? 😉

        The most amazing, revolutionary thing about the Constitution was that its rights applied to everyone within its jurisdiction, not just citizens.

          Every time I read the bill of rights I’m proud to be an American. Then I read the news and go back to being ashamed

    The U.S. Department of Defense quickly viewed biometric data and what it called “identity dominance” as the cornerstone of multiple counterterrorism and counterinsurgency strategies. Identity dominance means being able to keep track of people the military considers a potential threat regardless of aliases, and ultimately denying organizations the ability to use anonymity to hide their activities.

    By 2004, thousands of U.S. military personnel had been trained to collect biometric data to support the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. By 2007, U.S. forces were collecting biometric data primarily through mobile devices such as the Biometric Automated Toolset (BAT) and Handheld Interagency Identity Detection Equipment (HIIDE). BAT includes a laptop, fingerprint reader, iris scanner and camera. HIIDE is a single small device that incorporates a fingerprint reader, iris scanner and camera. Users of these devices can collect iris and fingerprint scans and facial photos, and match them to entries in military databases and biometric watchlists.

      The book First Platoon, while not the best book in the world, is pretty interesting and depressing on that subject. Might be worth an audiobook listen.

    The fuck they can. I swear to Christ, Trump could say he’s going to do the mark of the beast so liberals can’t buy anything and every maggot on this planet would jump at the chance to get the mark. Irony and hypocrisy are lost on them
