The trigger is private companies handing over people’s info to law enforcement en masse without a warrant. s/ICE/FBI/ and people would still be upset. Maybe a bit less just because the FBI occasionally goes after actually dangerous people.
- User23 8y agoIt’s public information. You don’t have an expectation of privacy about your license plate. The exact opposite is true: you’re legally required to display it prominently whenever your vehicle is on the public highway. ICE goes after human traffickers too.
- mikeash 8y agoWhat’s your point? All sorts of public information is not shared en masse with law enforcement. I’m not trying to argue that this is somehow illegal. This company isn’t committing a crime, they’re just assholes.
- User23 8y agoI don’t think reporting criminals to the police makes one an asshole. If you want open borders that’s fine. We have a congress and they can legally pass that policy. Write your representative and senators or something.
- mikeash 8y agoThey’re not reporting criminals, they’re reporting everyone. This has nothing to do with open borders. Why would you even bring that up?
- matte_black 8y agoWhen everyone is reported, no one is. When everyone is tracked, no one is.
- pluto9 8y agoThis may have been true once, but no more. In the age of automation, when everyone is tracked, everyone is.
