    They use facial recognition on us while we are not allowed to see their faces.

    These guys need de-masking.

        We will never get there while they are anonymous. The path to prison starts with de-masking.

        You can’t prosecute what has no identification.

          Every single one of them has a timecard they’re punching with a name, collective punishment against the entire agency should be on the table.

          Even those sitting back behind a desk pushing paperwork are enabling the thugs in the streets.

      With their mask-wearing they’re practically advertising their methods. We should take the clue. Everyone still has their COVID masks, right?

          Facial recognition can use nose bridge characteristics, eye distance, eye angle, eye color, etc.

          Gait detection can also fingerprint.

          Document everything and there will be accountability.

          If possible, use a zoom lens and get closeups of their eyes. They are unique signatures.

      Eh, I’m fine with them wearing masks. I’m not fine with them breaking the law and not being accountable. If they wear masks (or even if they don’t), they need to be ready to show ID and recite their badge number.

          Every officer has a badge number that uniquely identifies then, and they are legally required to provide that information. When filing a complaint or a lawsuit, you’ll provide their name and badge number. If they refuse, you provide as much information as you can (area, time of day, type of vehicle, vehicle number, other officers and badge numbers involved, etc) so they can track the officer down.

          I don’t know how ICE works specifically, but many police departments require their officers to carry business cards with that information and hand them out upon request.

          Civilians have a right to verify that the people involved are actually officers and have a right to identify individual offices to report misconduct.

          I don’t care if officers wear masks, I only care that they can be uniquely identified.

            Have you ever seen an example of an ICE agent sharing a badge number on video from this year?

              Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

              Have you seen an instance where a citizen or legal immigrant calmly asked for name and badge number and was refused?

                Yes I have. There are only videos of people asking for badge numbers without getting a response. There are none where a badge number is given.

                My point was that we need to see their faces because they will not identify themselves. Thats a big problem if we ever pull ourselves out of this; they will attempt to rejoin society like nothing happdened after illegally brutalizing american citizens. We need to know who the traitors are.

                  There are only videos of people asking for badge numbers without getting a response.

                  Are these suspects or protestors? Because the videos I’ve seen are protestors. Police must reveal their identity to suspects due to the fourth amendment, but not to the general public.

                  My point is suspects have a right to know who their accusers are. Whether they share that with others (and they should) is up to them. Having the public know their identities just opens them up to vigilante justice, having suspect know their identities keeps them accountable to the rule of law.

                    Both. But if you’re “arresting” a protester haven’t they become a defacto suspect? Or are they arresting protesters for other reasons?

                    All other law enforcment in america is maskless. Why would ICE need special protections from vigilate justice?
