How can I Legally Mess with ICE?
-
Shit, I didn't even think about a signal. I'm trying to get a recording device down there, but it's a narrow road with no signal on the side of a freeway. I think they could arrest me for j walking. Fuck man.
-
Burners for all the things, my bad.
-
They likely wouldn't arrest you, but law enforcement commonly confiscates cameras, so that's why the cloud sync is important.

Pass out red cards to inform individuals. https://www.ilrc.org/red-cards-tarjetas-rojas

So I was about to recommend the ACLU mobile justice app but I went to check if it was still working and it seems to be down. Reviews suggest it's been offline for a while. So if anyone reading this had also downloaded it and was assuming it would be there for you, maybe double check that.on your device.
-
Can that synchronize as you film? Will your phone expose the temporary file to synching before the recording is over? Does it block anyone from deleting the file from the phone?
-
I'm saying I have no signal there. I can't upload anything, sadly.
-
They wanna block the road, help them! Make the road completely impassable behind them. And in front of them. And under them. Just dig a big hole and chuck them in there. Then help your neighbours by refilling the hole to repair the road.
n.b. this may fail at the "legally" part

I thought CA got rid of Jay walking bullshit in 2023.
-
I'm sure they did. These are the kind of cops that say, "you aren't from around here," and ICE.
-
Because it needs to be said and hasn't yet- you're a good person. The United States needs more people like you.
-
Could you do line of sight with a long distance recording unit?
-
Oops, your tractor, or other large machinery just broke down at the narrowest part of the road. It's unfortunate that it'll take days, maybe weeks to fix, and noone can drive past in the interim.
If they can't get their vehicles in, out back out, they'll struggle to operate.
-
I guess I got here too late, but in a case like this perhaps the most helpful thing you can do is call ahead and warn everyone "the migra are coming, the migra are coming!" like some kind of modern Paul Revere. That way, the legal citizens can be ready to stall and be unhelpful while anyone with reason to fear can scatter. And if someone is legal but brown they can grab the papers that prove they're not supposed to be scooped up as well.
-
Good point, no it won't. You're probably better off with a live-stream and remote recording for that. I wouldn't trust a commercial app run on a public cloud service to protect your videos.
-
gonna need that John Deere tech to come out here, it takes 2 weeks
-
Something you may want to consider is a cell signal booster, cell phones are a bit limited in the size of antenna and how much power they can transmit at because everything has to fit in a neat little rectangle.
But you can get a device to hook up to your car that will retransmit your signal at a higher power. With that you "might* be able to get a signal further out than you normally would.
It would be useful for stuff like this of course but probably also just in general if you're in an area with spotty service.
I don't have any particular brand recommendations or anything like that, I think WeBoost caught my eye as a pretty decent-looking option at first glance but I don't know if they're actually any good. They're mostly a product I'm aware exists and I intend to look into more when I have some spare time and money because I camp and hike in areas with spotty reception a lot, but it's pretty far down my to-do list, so you're on your own for research right now.
-
It's a real shame when that happens. It'd be terribly unfortunate if they accidentally dropped a few rolls of barbed wire that they were transporting, and they sprang open and got tangled all over the road and verge.
-
They're going to lie and say you were unlawfully obstructing them and they'll file federal charges. I would put a cattle grate on your entrance so you can pull it out when they're around the area.
-
Courts have ruled that cops can damage property in the course of their duties with no accountability or compensation required, so they'd probably just bulldoze it out of the way and destroy it. And then insurance would say they don't cover official acts of cops, and then the cops would send a bill for damaging their bulldozer.
There's probably more fun and effective ways to go bankrupt obstructing ICE.
