My ex girlfriend tried to stab me in my sleep. But I guess I should feel lucky since it’s so statistically unlikely.

Most consumer toilets are attached to concrete or cinder block walls but home walls are usually wood and drywall.

Cops in most cases are legally prevented from using their positions to make political statements, so that doesn’t work as a test for where they stand on the issue. I don’t expect cops to give up their livelihood to make a point any more than workers in any other job.

I fully admit that police unions all skew right and so do most cops, but I’m not willing to write them all off. They have to take orders from their superiors and ultimately the local government. They can’t just unilaterally decide to take down ICE. It’s about as realistic of an expectation as asking why protestors don’t storm ICE facilities to free the prisoners.

Yes, ACAB, but I don’t want to write off potential allies until we are sure which side they are on.

At the very least cops won’t like the bad PR. ICE is mainly hitting liberal cities and those police have been trying really hard to recover some sense of public trust.

I’m not so sure. These fat, untrained losers ICE hires might not register as in-group to all cops. If the state administration will protect cops from the government, I think there will be more than a few willing to take ICE on.

Okay, then arrest them for impersonating law enforcement until they provide proper identification.

I was speaking more broadly about the constitutionality of being charged under a destruction of property statute. In a sense, deleting your data is choosing to remain silent.

The thing is, data isn’t just property. It is also speech. The right to remain silent is so fundamental to the legal system that a whole case can be thrown out if you are not reminded of this right while being arrested.
