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.
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.
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.
I want you to explain to me how when Google does it (allowing anyone with an app to report a speed trap - you know where law enforcement is present) it’s legal but when some random developer who’s not a multi-million dollar Corp does it, it’s illegal and obstruction.
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.
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.
Anyone. Jesus christ have you not been watching the news? There have been countless American citizens detained by ICE because they don’t know, or care, what your legal status is when they arrest you. They just grab Anyone.
So you ignored every word of my comment to just say whatever idiotic thought popped into your head. Cool
Yes. When unidentified masked thugs who are not even in a coherent uniform show up to start beating in citizens and throw them into a van, that’s just abduction.
How are the various NATURAL BORN CITIZENS who’ve been kidnapped in any way in violation of immigration law? Explain that one to me? The people with green cards who’ve been trafficked out of the country despite having all the paperwork saying they can be there?
You’re falsely claiming these people are being accused of a crime, but there isn’t one to accuse them of. That’s abduction.

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?

lol no one believes that, not even you.
How are they “unaccountable”, and how is that even relevant?
Are you a lawyer? What law are you citing?
Obstruction of justice, aiding and abetting, to name a few.

I’ll wait for your list of case law.
Waze and Google maps don’t let you report them for the purpose of helping illegal immigrants avoid law enforcement, or to tell people where to attack.

Bit of a meltdown you had there mate. Are you ok?
Yes, we should follow the laws like our government officials and police always do. Give me a fucking break lmao.

Anyone, or just those in the country illegally? Also law enforcement officers aren’t “fascists” just because they’re LEOs.

You asleep or something?
Multiple natural born citizens have been kidnapped by ICE. Surely you’ve heard of that under your rock by now.
“Kidnapped” lol. When someone is arrested for murder are they “kidnapped”?
