Does ice know? Just say you're with another agency

[–] hansolo 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

Its not like these people just start their day off from home. This isn't some 9-5 office job.

They go to an office and park their cars (probably trucks) in the same lot, they kit up in a locker room and spend an hour shooting the shit with all their bros, and then talk about who is wearing what subtle things so they can tell Jenkins from Thompson at a distance. They know each other. They hang out at each other's houses on the weekends. Their kids play together. They know who is supposed to be there that day. They have a game plan as to who does what. They chit chat about music and guns and the weather and cars and TV shows quietly in the downtime.

These people are not you. They can tell when someone else just shows up. They are organized when required, idiosyncratic about key details when needed, and hierarchical. An outsider only gets a pass when a CO tells them the outsider is OK.

another agency

Coordinated within hierarchies

Yes, but inter-agency coordination is notorious.

[–] hansolo 3 points 1 month ago

I think you meant to finish that the inter-agency is notoriously bad at communicating and informing each other. Yes, that's true, but unless the OP situation plans to identify themselves as the FBI with fake badges, credentials, and possibly even paperwork that the subject's lawyer can corroborate, it's not going to go well.

Might make some good fiction. IRL would make for a lengthy prison term.

Or at best arrested on felony charges.

[–] killingspark@feddit.org 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which charges? Being masked in public and driving an unmarked truck?

[–] LodeMike 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Kidnapping. Impersonating law enforcement depending on what you wear.

[–] killingspark@feddit.org 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Have you seen what ice is wearing? That's not a uniform that you can impersonate. That's just random clothes. Not even the color of their masks is the same.

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, as long as you don't try to claim you're law enforcement they can't legally get you on those outfits. You can look up pictures of them, go on evike or another airsoft shop, and you match 99% of their different outfits. At most you need to go elsewhere for matching denim.

Kidnapping and false imprisonment might be on the table though, depending on the other person. There's also conealing/falsefying your identity in a court building, which is iffy in some jurisdictions.

impersonating law enforcement

Masked people in vest without identification?

[–] M0oP0o@mander.xyz 1 points 1 month ago

Starting to look like it.

(But really, people need to stop this crap. You have masked goons grabbing people on the streets there is no reason to try and reason the lack of law. If they want to nail you they will, and having the "but look at what she was wearing" at this stage is pathetic.)

[–] Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I'm sorry, but this is class war. Would you prefer to be enslaved?

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 month ago

unfortunately have to agree here, leftists are not known for getting on the same page, and when half of them are doing shoot ICE aganets and half are doing sow chaos by pretend to look like them, things will end up badly. We need to pick a plan and follow through for once.

Believe it or not, same result.
