Option 1: Tell them you did it to waste their time. Outcome: You've wasted their time, and you caught a charge for wasting police time, obstruction, or whatever it is they call it there for your trouble.
Option 2: Plead ignorance. Outcome: You've wasted exactly the same amount of their time, plus you lied to the police, and you've faced no consequences for it.
IRL, I've got a few WW2-era relatives who will tell you how fucking hard it is to take a life for the first time. Even setting aside the consequences of doing what is going to be immediately flagged as first degree murder, it cannot be properly expressed how horrible the act of killing another person is for the human soul.
I mean, "paranoid geriatric fascist serial killer performs home invasion in an attempt to murder a baby" describes a JK Rowling character and your choice of IDF or ICE officer equally well.
One time, I was smoking a cigarette in my car, outside of my house. A cop pulled up behind me and blasted their lights. They asked me a ton of questions, most of which I refused to answer. I gave them ID which had my FUCKING address, and they still said, "You ain't from around here are you?". Mother fucker, you don't even live in this zipcode. You are at MY address. It was a Pacific beach surfing sticker and a Bernie sticker. They also told me to take them off. They went off in a pout, and the deputy told me they were just training the newbie. To what, profile people?
This is an example of resistance as culture. It might be a small act but it demonstrates the point.
I think that's something that could work. Things like fashion to mess with facial recognition. Movies or tasks to mess with our algorithms. Distracting facsists with a flag. Culturally, capitalism feeds on the creativity of leftists type people and always has done. We can't feed it anti-capitalism because that just feeds it. So, we have to make fucking with the machine the culture itself and offer something they never can: warmth, community and authenticity.
An American friend that lives here in Germany sent our city's flag to her parents. They put it up in their front yard to mess with their racist neighbors. When they got mad they just innocently said "Well, that's just a souvenir from our daughter."
All fun and games until they throw her in a cage. I hate to break it to you, when ICE is kidnapping people, they aren't checking your documents first. They're just disappearing you to the back of the van. If they happen to get a few citizens too, well that's just collateral damage.
One can hope it would result in a massive lawsuit, public outrage, and change. My bet is that it doesn't even make headlines, Faux News slanders the woman for being an "immigrant sympathizer" and the Trump administration tries to strip her citizenship for aiding and abetting enemies of the state (you know Jesus who pays his taxes and picks fruit seasonally in Arizona).
Congrats, you've pissed off the "not voting for Harris was right because she supported Israel" crowd that seems to ignore that Trump is a literal fan of genocide. Actually I think the person who replied to you and is likely going to have their comment removed by mods soon is the same person who replies to a couple of my old comments occasionally telling me to die essentially.
I'd buy you a beer if I ever see you, if I knew who you are lol
Always thought it was strange to mark "White, Hispanic" on everything because that was an option always growing up. Like you all really do need to know my skin color don't you.
If you didn't know my last name you'd never guess I wasn't "American"
If I recall correctly, it's actually a throw back to the American Mexican war, when the war ended one of the terms of the treaty was that Hispanics would legally be white, and thus safe from things like slavery. So later when the government census wanted to know they invented "white, Hispanic".
I remember my grandfather telling me a story about how he didn't know which bathroom to use when he came to the US and someone told him to use the white.
I'm half Mexican half Finnish. Strange mix. Pure white.
I understand the hardship
Random people do not think my father is my father.
I've been stopped multiple times by police walking with him to make sure I was okay when I was a kid. All good, just walking around the neighborhood with my dad lol.
Edit: It's also funny growing up people asking me who our gardener was. Also my dad.
I'm pretty sure that any of the psychos signing up to be ICE thigs would LOVE to have a Mexican flag sticker plastered on their car's back bumper. Pretty sure.
a mexican flag with a gun under it that says “come at me ICE”… hopefully they’ll call all their mates and go full war zone roleplay for maximum time wasting
I tell people all the time that if they ever see a "thin blue line" sticker on my car, it's because I have started dealing drugs, or begun some other life of crime.
Actually such a good idea. I might not do it because I currently dont have any form of I.D. (Lost my birth cert, dont have a passport and just lost my DL) and I have gotten mistaken for Mexican a few too many times.
Hit up your local Department of Social Services (or similar), and try to get an ID voucher from them. They might also have resources (type varies just ask) to help you get your Birth certificate, too. And once acquired, get that passport ASAP. Never know if you'll need to leave forever.
Thank you. I know how to get a copy of my birth cert (did it last year, promptly used it once and immediately lost it been on my list to do but ive been busy and its annoying because its a very manual process). Good point on the passport, dont have one because I never travel but as it is now I shouod keep one on hand, just in case.
Eh its fine they run the plates im there and I have my old expired dmv id card but due to a dmv mistake its not a "real id"...so not worried about getting traffic stopped....ICE though....they pick up legals with all thier documents around here often enough (Literally a dude around here just had the same name as someone that evaded ICE at the border so he got arrested, had all his papers but yeah)
Well in the unlikely event they provided any name or identifying info, this is a 1984 lawsuit. Illegal detention. Depravation of rights under color of law. I'm sure they didn't give any of that up given the trend we've seen.
With all of those masks out there I thought there was a covid variant that only infected right-wing muscle bound goons. We can demand of cops "Give me your name and badge number". We can demand of Trumps cops "BOOM! (blackness for a while) What country is this?".
Sorry but this resembles invisible russian protests more and more every day, stuff like writing "*** *****" (хуй войне -- fuck war) on the walls while nobody sees.
Which is fucking sad, because it achieves nothing except giving a feeling that you do something.
The correct answer to "Why the sticker?" is "Why the fascism?"
I liked her answer because she can continue to waste their time instead of being targeted for harassment.
If they are enjoying it, it's not a waste.
Nice double meaning, intended or not...
That ain't gonna happen though, they're only going to keep ramping up the fascism. Might as well innocently troll them.
Wtf did you just say about my view?!
Hey my moms not narrow, she's wide!
I would also accept “Because this is America” to hammer it home
Correct. She chose cowardice.
Yeah, let’s see how brave you are when you’ve got facists in your face.
Hint: you’ll probably piss yourself.Option 1: Tell them you did it to waste their time. Outcome: You've wasted their time, and you caught a charge for wasting police time, obstruction, or whatever it is they call it there for your trouble.
Option 2: Plead ignorance. Outcome: You've wasted exactly the same amount of their time, plus you lied to the police, and you've faced no consequences for it.
Picking option 1 isn't brave, it's just stupid.
Something something 2A

In a Rambo movie, its cool as hell.
IRL, I've got a few WW2-era relatives who will tell you how fucking hard it is to take a life for the first time. Even setting aside the consequences of doing what is going to be immediately flagged as first degree murder, it cannot be properly expressed how horrible the act of killing another person is for the human soul.
the first rambo movie is quite literally about what that shit does to a mfer
Well... the first 3/4ths of the first Rambo movie.
The back end is just "What do we do with the rest of our demolitions budget?"
This is the difference between someone who wants to use their gun defensively and someone who just wants an excuse to murder people.
You don't unholster your gun unless you're prepared to take a life. You pray you never have to.
But there are just too many people who are thirsty to take a life and that should worry all of us.
Even hunting takes something out of you. It's a feeling not like another to take a life, and not a good feeling at all.
Something tells me you've never been shot at. It's not just a videogame.
You absolute nunce do you think a large armed group of humans will passively sit and be shot at and not return fire
There's a reason why John fucking Brown is the real Jesus Christ. He'd fucking blow up the damn white house at this point.
If John Brown were Jesus Christ, then presumably his body wouldn't lie mouldering in the grave.
But either way, we can assume that his soul goes marching on.
But you do get to make a horcrux and become immortal.
Comedy aside, well said.
I mean, "paranoid geriatric fascist serial killer performs home invasion in an attempt to murder a baby" describes a JK Rowling character and your choice of IDF or ICE officer equally well.
Man I still don't understand how horcruxs were supposed to work
Um, where else did you get your original definition of a horcrux?
Magic.
Or plot.
Mods banned the constitution lol
"What sticker?"
Play it super dumb like you have no idea wtf they're even talking about.
"I like Italian food assholes!!"
Food assholes is a very peculiar dish, must be something like doughnuts
much more chewy
^Allegedly

To profile people? Yep.

It's the little things that really add up.
add a Mexican flag to your vehicle
cover your face with a wide brimmed hat and mask
wear t-shirts with faces of Mexican people on it to mess with facial recognition
telephone the ice hotline and report illegals hanging out at a local business, give them the address of a police station or (r) senators office
film every interaction you see and upload it to social media
follow ICE vehicles back to their depots, then follow the agents home and make a note of their address
send printed covertly taken photos of their spouses, parents, and children along with a boxcutter to their office
Just little things we can do as a community.

Yeehaw!

Jfc god forbid you have a flag of another country. How dare you like anything about another country aside from America. Fucking fascists.
I guess a German flag from a specific time frame would do for them as well.
They're going to pull you over to invite you to a job interview.
Land of the free
Land of the free*
Land of the fee
Italian Flags look identical to Mexican Flags from a distance.
Just putting this out there, for anyone who wants to experience Italian Discrimination firsthand.
They only love the food, but if you're not Murican... they don't love you.
I am definitely stealing 'white as a hotel towel' to refer to myself and other mayonaise-complexioned people, that's incredible, hahaha!
I always use "Whiter than sour cream"
How about 'whiter than christmas morning at the hamptons'?
All fun and games until they throw her in a cage. I hate to break it to you, when ICE is kidnapping people, they aren't checking your documents first. They're just disappearing you to the back of the van. If they happen to get a few citizens too, well that's just collateral damage.

I'd buy you a beer if I ever see you, if I knew who you are lol
Looks like you struck a nerve with the bots lol
I partially agree with you, but I also believe in the undefeatable power of white woman tears.
Cute, and dangerous, to think the fascists wont put you on the bus anyway .
"looks brown to me!" "Must be a Mexican!"
The person: 🙍🏻♀️
United States should change its name to "State"
Fascist States of America.
Hmm. Yeah, you're right. I'm just being redundant.
Amerikkka
Absolute Bloody State
Spelled with a double S.
ICE is the SS in united StateS
PSA
Police State of America
"United Deep State" will really drive it home
I'm a white hotel towel Mexican
Always thought it was strange to mark "White, Hispanic" on everything because that was an option always growing up. Like you all really do need to know my skin color don't you.
If you didn't know my last name you'd never guess I wasn't "American"
Some people even secretly say that Spanish was invented by white people
You mean like Texas Senator Rafael “Ted” Cruz?
If I recall correctly, it's actually a throw back to the American Mexican war, when the war ended one of the terms of the treaty was that Hispanics would legally be white, and thus safe from things like slavery. So later when the government census wanted to know they invented "white, Hispanic".
I remember my grandfather telling me a story about how he didn't know which bathroom to use when he came to the US and someone told him to use the white.
Interesting
Fascinating and plausible.
I get told all the time I'm not Hispanic because I'm white.
Its not my fault a white Brit knocked up my Costa Rican grandma. And my grandma certainly cultured me while she was alive.
So I just say I'm a white Hispanic to clear the confusion.
I'm half Mexican half Finnish. Strange mix. Pure white.
I understand the hardship
Random people do not think my father is my father.
I've been stopped multiple times by police walking with him to make sure I was okay when I was a kid. All good, just walking around the neighborhood with my dad lol.
Edit: It's also funny growing up people asking me who our gardener was. Also my dad.
Who is even asking you that?
Funny until they decide you are aiding 'illegals'.
White women get treated the nicest anyway, pretty sure they'll be fine
Hmm... not sure if getting sexually harassed by a white male cop is exactly "get treated the nicest"
They said nicest, not nice.
Sad reality, isn't it?
Better then getting shot or arrested
I'm not sure about that.
This is the most white girl thing I have ever read.
Edit: I guess being harassed is just as bad as being shot.
Use old flags of European countries and say you are a history buff.
Use flags of fictional countries and say that you are a fantasy buff.
So many opportunities.
Use the flag of 1940s Germany and get a high five.
Or the stars and bars.
Or exert your 1st amendment rights and put whatever sticker you want on your car without providing any justification whatsoever.
Shit, USA has genuinely succumbed to fascism.
I live in a country where fascist and communist symbols are forbidden in non-historical settings, so I can't brag about my "freedom".
Well shit, I'm gonna buy a whole 1000 pack of Mexican flag stickers and throw them on every car in every parking lot I see.
Please don't for those of us of the non white complexion. I'm already scared enough as it is.
Okay, how about if I promise only to throw them on white people's cars? :P
Edit: Nevermind, that would be racist. How about I throw them on TRUMP SUPPORTERS vehicles?
Get ones that perfectly cover some of the US flags.
I'm pretty sure that any of the psychos signing up to be ICE thigs would LOVE to have a Mexican flag sticker plastered on their car's back bumper. Pretty sure.
Better option: find a swasticar, and stick a flag on the back of it. Waste the time of the pig and the trumpster in a cybertruck
Just be sure to wear a mask. The cameras on Teslas constantly record everything around them even when parked.
a mexican flag with a gun under it that says “come at me ICE”… hopefully they’ll call all their mates and go full war zone roleplay for maximum time wasting
"Obnoxious creatures" fucking gold.
I'm not white and I often joke about putting an American flag in my front yard to avoid racist attacks
I tell people all the time that if they ever see a "thin blue line" sticker on my car, it's because I have started dealing drugs, or begun some other life of crime.
Actually such a good idea. I might not do it because I currently dont have any form of I.D. (Lost my birth cert, dont have a passport and just lost my DL) and I have gotten mistaken for Mexican a few too many times.

Good point on the passport, dont have one because I never travel but as it is now I shouod keep one on hand, just in case.
Wasn't "Papers please" supposed to be some soviet hell?
Congratulations USA.
Glory to Arstotzka.
Yeah you'd better not drive without the DL
Don't go to Home Depot either
Eh its fine they run the plates im there and I have my old expired dmv id card but due to a dmv mistake its not a "real id"...so not worried about getting traffic stopped....ICE though....they pick up legals with all thier documents around here often enough (Literally a dude around here just had the same name as someone that evaded ICE at the border so he got arrested, had all his papers but yeah)
I also lost my wallet last week. Had my DL , Military (veteran) Id and debit card
The odd thing is I didn't lose my wallet so I have no idea what happened to it got all my credit cards all my cash, just missing that and a gift card
Dam.. Yea that’s important.. My son said we should start using AirTags for every thing important.
That is absolutely disgusting. ICE is committing ethnic cleansing.
I can remember when everyone in mexico got really really outraged by the Texas law SB4, but now racial profiling is really common
Racial profiling never stopped being really common.
Well in the unlikely event they provided any name or identifying info, this is a 1984 lawsuit. Illegal detention. Depravation of rights under color of law. I'm sure they didn't give any of that up given the trend we've seen.
Well I know what I'm definitely doing. Fucking cunts.
I want to do this now.
They're scared upon a small sticker,? so childish and immature
Would do this if I wasn't brown and didn't get mistaken as latino all the time
With all of those masks out there I thought there was a covid variant that only infected right-wing muscle bound goons. We can demand of cops "Give me your name and badge number". We can demand of Trumps cops "BOOM! (blackness for a while) What country is this?".
And I suggest they shove their suggestion up your anus.
What are they, Iranian morality guards?
TBF all the americans that ruin Cancun should get arrested... and deported
Sorry but this resembles invisible russian protests more and more every day, stuff like writing "*** *****" (хуй войне -- fuck war) on the walls while nobody sees.
Which is fucking sad, because it achieves nothing except giving a feeling that you do something.
Pretty sure it gives sorta hope to people later reading fuck war
