IndustryStandard[Video] ICE agent asked why he is taking pictures of a legal observers car says: "Cause we have a nice little database. And now you are considered a Domestic Terrorist. So have fun with that."
muusemuusePutting everybody in the database and declaring them terrorists means the database is no longer useful. The label no longer has meaning. If everyone is a terrorist no one is a terrorist.
It opens the door for arbitrary enforcement. In the theoretical world where these guys may have to justify themselves in a court of law, they can say “he was in the domestic terrorist database, so we were justified in pinning him down with 5 guys while another guy shot him in the back after disarming him.”
This is correct.
They are criminalizing as many people as possible.
