    Imagine trying to scan an officer’s QR code as he’s pepper spraying you and his buddy is wailing on you with a baton. Or “oops, there’s some ‘mud’ so the codes not scannable!”

    Saddest opposition party in existence.

    I’m sure they’ll comply with that. If they do, I’m certain they’ll not obscure them like they have their name tags and allow us all ample time and opportunity to scan these as they gas, beat and murder us. Come the fuck on. Ditch the whole agency, it’s beyond reform.

  3. How about you introduce legislation that forces federal immigration enforcement agents to require full Congressional oversight and consent for all their activities? And to require some actual training and bare minimum standards of conduct? And body cameras and other public transparency measures?

    You think putting a QR code on their vests and compelling people to run up with their phones and scan them isn’t going to result in more people getting shot because these clowns “feel threatened”?

  4. Seems bad opsec to be scanning random QRs while you’re out and about *especially* at an ICE deployment or action against ICE.

  5. As opposed to just forcing them to identify themselves like every other LEO is supposed to do??

    Granted I’m hungover and probably not the sharpest tool in the shed right now, but it feels like we skipped some steps to the dumbest possible solution here.

    How about clearly visible, large print name tags and badge numbers. Also banning masks and mandatory body cams.

    I’m sure there’s a few other things, but these simple things would be a nice start.

    Scanning the QR code would probably your device (and you) to a database that shouldn’t exist.

    Identifying them is worth what exactly? Have they had trouble identifying any of the “agents” that murdered people in broad daylight so far? Every murder is filmed from 5 different angles including one of the agents themselves.

  9. They’re just going to put other QR codes over it, or people will edit them in photos for phishing

    The fact that there isn’t already legislation requiring identification is pathetic. Let alone a fucking QR code, probably the easiest thing in the world to make unreadable.

    Even if applied, what’s stopping them from lining it with malware that adds you to a database?

  11. I can’t scan the QR code on some old restaurant menu so how will it work when getting pepper sprayed and shot at?

    Thats a completely reasonable request. It has a 0 percent chance of happening when the criminals are in charge.

  13. Better than nothing but a QR code isn’t practical.

    Show their badge number or whatever they use.

  14. never anything more aggressive than a sternly worded letter from these fucking CLOWNS! every time.

  15. Thanks house democrats. This is exactly what the people of america needed from ICE. Another completely pointless regulation from the most inept “opposition” ever. Fucking *MTG* is doing more to fight trump than these guys are

    Okay, and if they still don’t wear identification? What are House Democrats going to do about it? This is all pointless bullshit until there are consequences. They’ve murdered two people in the street in broad daylight and not even been charged with a crime yet.
