@feed the quickest way to get this stuff thrown out in court as being unreliable: use it against the police.

@feed any tool for #ICE Agents planned?

Per the article you're replying to, there used to be a tool like that, but it is now inaccurate; the dev has said he's looking into updating the database to fix this.
However, its utility may be hindered by how frequently ICE uses face-concealing masks.

@kkarhan @dzamie why are they masking? Is it an health thing? Or are they criminals, since they are hiding their faces? /s

@jt_rebelo @dzamie @feed Obviously it's the latter...

(Obviously the #USA is violating that at it's borders for decades routinely with #pushbacks and giving travelers neither recourse nor appeal options...
