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 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”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.
Of course not. They will kick out anyone who’s not white and Christian. They will try to destroy or distort anything recording their activities.
Fucking Kluxer department should rename itself DCE.
I see a whole lot of black and brown people in ICE in videos. If things get bad enough, they will probably be purged, I suppose, but that probably comes last. Right now racist douchebags like Stephen Miller need useful idiots to carry out the job…
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.
Our taxes paid for that footage. It belongs to all of us. Period.
We need representatives with some backbone
The audacity with taxpayer salaries. Fuck ICE.
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.
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??

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.
So…never?
They’ll edit it down to make protesters look bad and them look good and release that.
So like any other piece of shit police force
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.
