How can I Legally Mess with ICE?
-
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.
-
Who owns the land on either side of the checkpoint? It's February, is anything even growing? Get permission to do a little offroading
-
Did you say to throw these cops into a hole.
I think there’s a lot more points of failure than you suggested.
-
I wasn't quick enough.
-
Fair point, so maybe take a view on whether they've turned up with heavy machinery or just kidnap cars. In the OP's case they don't have time to prep, so they're going to have to play things as they are. If you're in a situation like this and do have time, you could find better ways to be able to blockade the road as needed. The blockage doesn't need to last very long, even delaying their entry by minutes might give more people time to escape. Blocking their way out slows this operation and the next one. Once people know they're in the area they lose the element of surprise.

It's the nursery near the Google GPS info I provided. I think they're complacent. They're fucking gone.
-
I think the plan is replace immigrants with American workers. Let them LIVE.
-
Moon Nurseries but I think they turned them in.
-
The farms that turned them in.
-
They'd tow my my devices, but that's a good idea.
