"Oh? You want to "detain" my student/employee/friend/partner? You have to prove you're a law enforcement official and are legally-allowed to."
If that sounds unreasonable to anyone... you're the extremist.
It's totally reasonable, but it'll probably also get you deported to El Salvador. Or at the very least beat.

This should also include identification on vehicles.
None of this unmarked pickup truck or white van bullshit.
This includes the "ghost letter" bullshit. They claim it's so they can blend in and catch violations as they happen. Bro everyone can see a cop driving from a mile away by the way they drive, the reinforced grill, the slightly beefier trim to hide the installed lights, etc.

Encourage them to wear identification? ENCOURAGE them?!? How that is not and has not always been mandatory is beyond me.
It's a state legislature attempting to regulate a federal agency. Even if it manages to make it to the Governor's desk, you know Newsom will veto it, because he's a cowardly little toad man who has never found a boat he was above licking. And if, by some miracle it survives the legislature and Newsom discovers his spine, the federal courts will bat this away overnight.
All that is assuming Silicon Valley doesn't have enough votes in the state house to smoother this proposal in committee.
Why even worry about the language of a DOA bill? You're not stopping ICE from Sacramento. Not with the current crop of liberal dorks and techbro shills running things.

Id would be trivial to fake. So either way it wouldn't solve much without a hefty penalty for using a fake one.

In theory, anyone could forge a badge, claim to be ice, and literally kidnap people into sex trafficking or slavery and we wouldnt find out for quite a long time. That's in addition to the already dangerous prospect of having unidentifiable police who are unaccountable.
There should be passed ASAP. Should become a national law too but not gonna happen with this government. We need to pass this on a local and state level as much as possible.
Isn’t this already happening?
mmmm People whom are know to hang out on an island full of under age sex trafficed girls, are now in power of the government. Oh of course it is happening, But its no longer limited to the island, and its government approved.

Also many people may not necessarily know how a real ICE badge looks like. And fake badges are available for collectors and cosplayers alike. Also most people will not fully check or examine a badge or insignia, meaning by the time they realize it is fake it will be too late.
If this law is enacted, the Supreme Court will say that states can't frustrate the operations of federal agents with these sorts of laws. Chief Justice Roberts will write the opinion and compare it to giving states the power to ban bulletproof vests from being worn by federal law enforcement and call it "a step from anarchy". Clarence Thomas will then write a concurring opinion saying that federal agents acting on orders from the president should actually be immune for any type of civil or criminal liability for any of their actions, lawful or not.
Then, when a Democratic president takes office the court will walk it back and say "well, actually, there's this exception, and this exception, and that exception..."
Stop hogging the time machine, give someone else a chance to document inevitable future
Then, when a Democratic president takes office the court will walk it back and say “well, actually, there’s this exception, and this exception, and that exception…”
Or they won't, because the Dem president will simply "not abuse such powers" due to their "adherence to decorum".
The SC made the president god-king while Biden was in office.

Good... personal freedom and all that
I'm required to wear a photo id visible at all times while I'm at work as a cable lineman. Wear all the silly hats you want, long as your badge/Id visible and presented when asked.
Wild these papers please people can't figure it out for themselves.
Where I live cops wear strips on their vest with their station, and name badges with their officer number and name.
How would they enforce this, if they can’t identify the people violating it?
Stop anyone with a mask attempting to do ICE stuff.
Rifles in hand, ideally
How can they prosecute someone who fights back when the person they fought was wearing a mask? It would be self defence.

Badges should come with a QR code, linked to a government database, profiling official officers. Warrants should also get a QR code, with a justice's signature, reasoning, and a short list of what activities are permitted by the warrant. The judicial branch controls their own database for the warrants and justices, while the state or federal governments have their own databases for their respective officers.
Also, should these conceptual reforms happen, people should be able to immediately send a copy of the presented warrant and badges to their lawyers and agencies via a QR snapshot.

there are exceptions and there is "encouragement" to wear identification. this will do nothing.
The exceptions are actually logical not broad. The only questionable exception that seems open to abuse is "health reasons".
But the ones we need to be worried about can't read anyway.

Has anyone even said "thank you" to democratic leaders? pretending to do something while accomplishing nothing meaningful at all takes a lot of work and skill.

Good. Let the cowards face their victims
I don't understand how it's even legal right now.
Why would they need exceptions?

I dunno why he had to go with a Star wars reference. Nazi brownshirts were literally called stormtroopers. Seems a more apt comparison.
Because people dont read history text books... They know star wars, they dont know details about what happened in Germany in the late 1930s, if they did, we would not be in this situation...
Also stormtroopers were ripping their name from WW1 shocktroopers, they ran through the storm of bullet and thunder of artillery. Though it should be noted that some Nazi stormtroopers were actual WW1 stormtroopers, it should be noted that as a venn diagram it wasn't a single circle.
It has a carve-out for medical masks, so get ready for ICE to abuse the shit out of that if it passes.
If I see some goon kidnap someone ima involve myself.
Citizens arrest I’ll shout
Stop resisting I’ll shout.
What’s good for the goose
