This has been their stance since September. It has been tried in several federal district courts and has been shot down every time (thank fuck). The Supreme Court has declined to take up the government’s appeals (thank fuck). So, a rare win for the good guys?
The DOJ can say anything it likes. They lost all credibility and no one believes them anymore.
I mean, what they say determines whether you’re going to jail or not
Does it though? It seems like they’re going with their vibes more than the law. Wouldn’t matter if you listen to them or not, piss law enforcement off and you’re a terrorist. They’ll find something you did to fit the bill.
Funny jokes to tell Judges on the record.
So, recording illegal shit done by an administration headed up by a convict is “terrorism” now.
So much freedom.
You do not have an expectation of privacy in public. This is not doxing. That’s not even what doxing means.
Everything is dumb.
You assume this administration gives a shit about reason and rules.
Haha supreme court says we have a 1st amendment right to film law enforcement. Get fucked pedo lovers.
For now.
At this point I accept no prior judgments (or good judgement for that matter) that differs from the party’s perspective.
Time is running out.
But the DOJ has pretty much unlimited resources and essentially no penalty for frivolous lawsuits.
Uh huh,like all those other times that the supreme court did “the right thing”?
Hmm, interesting position to take. Why don’t you sit in prison for the next few years, while we test your theory at every level of the courts. In 6-9 years, if SCOTUS says you were right, you can go home victorious.
They already have. Why dont you get a life, troll.
They’re saying the administration doesn’t care about previous rulings and will continue to test the limits.
Thats great, there are people that have careers, currently, in testing those limits. They prevail each time. Learn your rights and stand your ground.
So, filming domestic terrorism is now domestic terrorism?
Yo dawg I heard you like domestic terrorism, so we put domestic terrorism into your domestic terrorism, so you can commit domestic terrorism while committing domestic terrorism.
Please U.S.A., Pimp my authoritarian police state! 🙏
War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.

kinda like how they made ag gag laws, so you can film animal abuse in plants and farms.
That’s fucked up enough, but filming inside the plants and farms could be considered inside somebody else’s private property. This seems like it could be applied to filming on a street corner or even your own home.
i’d argue ICE proud boy nazi Justice Department hires are terrorizing the American public.
Prosecute Flock for every camera that ever recorded ICE activity, even just a vehicle driving on the highway.
Create an app that takes Flock’s incredible poorly secured data and uses it to track and publicly broadcast 24/7 the location of every ICE and federal law enforcement agent you can.
i bet flock also feeds into PALINTIR in every PD.
Is this what CPAC meant when their banner said “We Are All Domestic Terrorists” ?
This year the banner will say, “You are all domestic terrorists.”
No, don’t let them have this one. Filming police does not, and never will, make you a terrorist.
I guess it’s technically true: “regular people terrorize nazi dogs by filming their mis-deeds”
Terrorism has always been a convenient label for “official enemies”.
I knew this was gonna happen. “terrorism” being defined as “violence and intimidation for political means” … the authorities claiming that recording them is not only intimidation, but that intimidation is de facto the threat of violence!
“Speech is violence” is what they claim, which equates to political speech = terrorism.
It’s for this reason I believe “terrorism” in and of itself shouldn’t be a crime. But I digress.
[FTA} the Justice Department encourages federal prosecutors to press “domestic terrorism” charges against people for “doxing” law enforcement officers. […] which the Justice Department insinuates is a threatening activity used to “silence opposing speech, limit political activity, change or direct policy outcomes, and prevent the functioning of a democratic society.”
I saw this coming whenever they claimed terrorists were unlawful enemy combatants back in the early 2000s
All us smart people were just so unpatriotic! /s
You’re just being paranoid.
Edot: Oops forgot /s
Hostile actors not belonging to a state recognized by the government.
Hence why russians in UKR are soldiers but Hamas are terrorists (and not IDF)
Even by that cynical definition though, calling nonviolent actors filming police is laughable.
(The PLA guys in great britian makes sense when you consider they assaulted an army personel woth a sledge hammer while commiting their act of sabotage which the news seemed to conveniently ignore in most articles)
“Don’t you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thoughtcrime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it.”
Good luck with that. I hope I get called to jury duty for one of those cases.
does no one remember the 2000s? the whole point of calling something terrorism is to circumvent due process. no jury, not even a lawyer.
They are blocking offshore wind turbines due to unspecified “classified national security issues” as a gimmick to block legal appeals.
How optimistic of you, to think there will be a trial. Those camps are ultimately for us all.
They’re currently building a 30,000 bed facility in Guantanamo Bay, presumably to hold people they can’t deport, like American citizen “domestic terrorists.” Our very own CECOT.
“Domestic terrorists”
It’s always the ones you mostly suspect.
Or the ones to come where they work us as actual chattel slaves and kill those they deem subhuman.
