Can't be impersonating a police officer if the police officer is in plain clothes.

@bigolewannabe @mckra1g Furthermore, can't be impersonating a police officer if it turns out the ICE goon is not actually a police officer 😉

You'll only be able to pull off that once.

@mckra1g Wouldn't be hard. Just throw on some jeans and an outer flannel or shirt. Put on a mask. Those goofy fucks have made themselves even more identifiable by trying to play badass.
Show threadcrazyeddieJun 21
@mckra1g They'll be able to tell I think because they know who they are and where they're supposed to be. Could cause massive confusion in the immediate area though. OTHER people not knowing who is "supposed" to be carting people away while refusing to ID themselves won't know who's side to take. Guns could fire. "ICE" almost certainly will.

Show threadcwicseolforJun 22
@geonz @mckra1g It would need to be prearranged by the targeted individual or else it just turns into a way of abducting people by posing as the "safe" option.

@mckra1g This is a great idea. It's not like ICE has an official uniform so you wouldn't be impersonating an officer.

@Kevin @mckra1g if no one asks you and you don't claim to be, are you impersonating? Not your fault if they make assumptions.

@Kevin @mckra1g haven’t the agents abducting immigrants been avoiding wearing logos or badges? Do they identify themselves and their agencies when asked?

Me too.
This made me wonder what would happen if EVERYONE started dressing like ICE agents....
Would #tRump implement a dress code....

What if we all went out dressed like this?
This would really mess with them...

@mckra1g It is a crime to impersonate a federal officer. This is sounds like a guaranteed conviction after the beatings.

One Catholic priest tossing holy water around seems to have deterred a group of ICE kidnappers and sent them scurrying. I think priests should do more of this.

Show threadEggs now in different baskets.Jun 22

@steter @mckra1g

But are these ICE agents actually federal officers?

Or are they feral officers let loose to roam as they please?

Show thread*sparkling anxiety* EvelynJun 23

@steter @mckra1g But it's not a crime to impersonate a priest (it may be a sin, but that's mostly a post-life problem).

So what if we all dress up as priests or nuns and start hanging out in the hallways outside detention hearings?

Overdoing it would dull the effect, and you'd have to avoid yelling out stuff like "Die, you motherf*cking a**hole pig!"; but you could probably be pretty effective at least at first.

Show threadEndemicEarthlingJun 22
@mckra1g Added bonus: ICE often don't even wear uniforms, carry authorisation, or identify themselves. So it's not like such a thing would require a great deal of preparation...
Show threadSIEM ShadyJun 23
@EndemicEarthling @mckra1g Was thinking this. Can't break the law for impersonating a federal officer if the federal officers don't even have an established persona.

@TimMaddog @mckra1g Most of them don't seem to wear any insignia at all! No badges, no uniforms, no vests, no jackets, no hats... Which, honestly, I find much more scary than the face masks.

But if you just wear jeans and a hoodie, as most of them seem to, *what* exactly are you impersonating?
