Officers for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) will be equipped with much-delayed body cameras by the end of next month, it was reported on Friday. But experts have questioned the transparency of a policy that allows the ICE director to restrict the public release of footage unless “it is in the best interests of the agency”.
So, by the transitive property, if the footage is not released then it assumed to be not in the agency’s best interests?
Also every camera malfunction they try to claim, or footage gone missing, it’s all just an admission of wrong doing.
and what little might get released is carefully crafted to support their own (and most likely, totally bullshit) narrative. the rest of the clip, the rest of the videos from all the other cameras… they don’t exist.
So…never?
They’ll edit it down to make protesters look bad and them look good and release that.
Every agency of the government should have only one interest, the well being of the people.
You’re speaking crazy, man! a government for the people, by the people?? Do you even hear yourself??
So like any other piece of shit police force
And just why is this left up to them?
Because all anyone else has to stop them is words and stuff. The are no actual consequences, so they can make their own rules. They also have the support of the President who’s been leading by example himself.
Our taxes paid for that footage. It belongs to all of us. Period.
We need representatives with some backbone
the transparency of a policy that allows the ICE director to restrict the public release of footage unless “it is in the best interests of the agency”.
Lets see how made up department policy stands up to a FOIA request in front of a federal judge.
So it’s along the same lines as regular cops except instead of the hardware/footage mYsTeRiOuSlY “malfunctioned”, “corrupt footage” or “deleted” every time they are under investigation for excessive brutality or gross negligence
the getapoice can just say “fuck you, no”Civic duty, not just for Americans, but for everyone is that if they see an interaction happening with any sort of law enforcement, stop…turn on your phone’s video camera, and record it. The more citizens record every…single…interaction with authority, the harder it is for them to keep the story hidden.
If not gestapo then why do gestapo things?
The audacity with taxpayer salaries. Fuck ICE.
I feel like there was legislation passed federally after BLM that stated departments had to release body cam footage publicly if requested? I know atleast for police officers.
Does that not apply for ICE?
well then they’ll keep losing over and over in court and end up paying massive penalties. If their goal is to make dissidents rich winning easy court cases, and set precedents they dont like, I guess have at it. I look forward to my turn beating their dumb arses in court. Maybe getting rich off ICE misconduct can be the new American Dream.
These dummies keep makingt the case over and over that they arent real law enforcement, which erodes their authority.
This is why education matters. All of those losers in school with Ds and Fs and no friends spent years in economically and socially hopeless, and were recruited by ICE and told they can be important, powerful people.
