Restricting peoples freedom of movement is incredibly fucked up, even if its for a righteous cause.
Dude fuck off, there's literally Nazis out doing everything they can to blend in and kidnap regular people.
Lmao, they're not blending in. Are you blind m8? Just because your enemies are violating peoples rights, that doesn't give you free reign to violate peoples rights too.
They are in civilian clothes & in civilian vehicles. That's the epitome of blending in
I've not seen any evidence of ICE not standing out like a sore fucking thumb. Would you mind sharing an example?

Yeah, totally blending in with normal people. They definitely don't stick out like a sore thumb.
do US all a favor and choke on they boot already
Stop shoving your boot down my throat. Two wrongs don't make a right.
me, hopping your fascist state doesn't kidnap me. and you have the gall of calling yourself the victim? fuck off
Approving of violating liberties to combat the violation of liberties is incredibly hypocritical. Your lack of self-awareness is astounding.
have you ever complained when entering a venue and they checked of you have a ticket? or crossed a border? but now, when this is a necessity to protect your own neighborhood from white supremacy paramilitary troops, now you draw the line.
do us all a favor and choke on that boot.
that's like complaining that a fireman needa a warrant to enter your burning house to save you, but you are ok with police coming in to murder your children without a warrant.
How do you feel about traffic lights?
See my comment elsewhere. False equivelance.
People's movement is slowed down for the safety of the community.
Speed bumps slow people down. Stop lights and stop signs coordinate movement. These actions block movement. You are physically impeded unless some arbitrary self-elected judge grants you passage. Again, false equivalent.
Nobody's freedom is being restricted, just slowed down, controlled and managed for community safety. Are traffic lights unconstitutional too?
I didn't say anything about the constitution. Nice strawman there tho. Blocking public roads is restricting people's freedom of movement. Not sure how you can say otherwise with a straight face. You're preventing people from using the road when you block it. Traffic lights don't block the road or prevent you from using them. Barriers do. Stop being willfully ignorant.
They're "traffic stops." So they're presumably letting the people through after. So just like a traffic light or stop sign or sobriety checkpoint. So no, they're not preventing people from using the road, are they?
I didn't say they were preventing people from using the road, I said they were restricting peoples freedom of movement. I don't view those statements as synonymous.the difference between this and traffic lights/stop signs is the latter doesn't erect a physical barrier where my freedoms are subject to the whims of a random individual. As consequence, I don't agree with police checkpoints either as a method of policing.
