Yeah ask this guy how he’d feel if a different party were in power and doing this.

Just ask him to show you his bank accounts / unrestricted access to phone / camera in bedroom. It is always funny to see these people bend into pretzels trying to justify why you should not see how much money is on their bank accounts while you are just repeating their own mantra that if they did not do anything illegal, why they are worried about it?

No, just a fan of people being informed. People are being manipulated into outrage for political purposes. Many are unaware that previous administrations ( yes, on both sides ) prioritized deportations. The federal machinery in use has been in place over several presidencies and operated in many of the same ways. When given this information, people make less radical outbursts, which is good.
Different bubbles for different folks, I guess. It was a big thing in 2024 that Biden deported more than Trump.
Which proves the outrage is about the method of deportation (black-bag Hispanic looking people, tear up their birth certificate in front of them) and not about the number of people deported.

won't they able able to track you down if you start using the SIM though?
They can track the locations where you use that card, and the locations where you use the phone the card was in, before and after the card was in it. Take this information as you will. ETA: "use" means "have a battery inserted"
Stick it into a smartphone, duct tape it to an ICE vehicle.

the both sides does not hold water … imagine if Kamala was elected President and did 0.1% of the shit that was done in the last 14 months - like just imagine if she sent military to places where we have actual crime like Houston TX … the country would be literally burning right now. so “both sides” is very played argument I would stay away from

In Michigan, if the trailer has plates, after 18 hours it's considered abandoned. No plates, immediately. So don't expect to be able to judge an abandoned trailer by eye.

#58I assume every vehicle has been tracked for decades now. Remember when they simplified the design of license plates to make them easier for cameras to read? Why they feel the need to hide it though.
Probably to deter vandalism of the kind that a number of other people in this thread are talking about doing.

Well, that’s interesting.
I’m used to seeing brightly colored police notices on vehicles left unattended. They spell out how much time the owner has to move the vehicle. If the move doesn’t happen in time, the vehicle is subject to impound.

This is perhaps a more common opinion than you think. Making it easy to catch bad guys is enough reason. I don't know how to effectively convince someone that the ease of law enforcement comes at the expense of liberty, which so many of the aforementioned opinion-holders also claim to be concerned about. I feel like it should be self-evident, that law enforcement and liberty are mutually exclusive, and that we have t…
> This is perhaps a more common opinion than you think. Oh, I know it's a common opinion. That's why I'm so upset about it. > the ease of law enforcement comes at the expense of liberty, which so many of the aforementioned opinion-holders also claim to be concerned about. Because they're convinced that because they have nothing to hide, the law will never turn against them.
It's interesting. No one is a 100% law-abiding citizen. You can see this in traffic, for example, when a driver gets upset about pedestrians ignoring red lights, while they themselves are driving a few miles per hour over the speed limit and have the number right in front of them. The transgressions of others should always be severely punished. One's own transgressions are minor trifles that are not worth mentioning, or small privileges that one naturally claims. And when one is penalized a little for one's own misconduct, e.g., with a fine, one acts as if one were a victim of fascist repression.
