Fucking excuse me? An app is supposed to override my goddamn birth certificate? Absolutely not. In fact, I’ll be damned if I let a cop scan my face without putting up a fight. I’m walking away unless detained, and if I’m detained, I’m not doing a fucking thing until I have my lawyer.
Edit: Look up and commit to memory the phone number of your local chapter of the National Lawyers Guild, if you don’t already have an attorney’s contact information ready at hand.
There's no due process anymore. Why do you believe you'll ever be granted a lawyer, let alone a phone call, or a court date? They're just out there assaulting and disappearing people.
Why would I give in without putting up a fight? Is throwing my hands up and going “oops, no due process, out of luck” going to do me any good? I’m sure they’ll try to do illegal things, but courts do still exist, and I want them to have to fight tooth and nail to be allowed to do what they want
Well you either submit and risk getting deported or you resist and likely just end up dead or with life long injuries and deported.
You arnt owed due process since your arnt ever arrested. You don't go to court.
Ice is superceding the system by just side stepping it.
You also get a court-appointed lawyer if you don’t have other options and staying silent in jail for a week is preferable to admitting whatever they want you to admit to secure a conviction.
Don’t Talk Without A Lawyer (Working for You) Present.™
The issueance of said birth certificates is a power reserved to the states, and state-issued documents must be given full faith and credit. US citizenship is supposed to be secondary to someone's citizenship to the state. So, if the states have to give them credit, so too must the federal government.
I wish you well but you may be underestimating how far down we've gone. If you try to walk away or put up a fight, and you will be swarmed by cops who will take you to the ground with no concern for the injury they are doing. At the least you will be bleeding, at the worst you'll get some broken ribs or worse.
Once they're done beating on you, you will be detained, I won't say arrested, and you will be taken to an ICE facility where you will not get a phone call or access to a lawyer or medical care. After a day or two, maybe less, you will be transferred to an ICE facility a few states away, or maybe on the other side of the nation. Your friends and family will not be informed and will have no way to find you until ICE decides you've had enough and let's you go. Assuming they don't just deport you for the hell of it.
Remember, until you prove you're a citizen, you don't get due process. And of course, without due process you can't prove you are a citizen.
Bold of you to assume they don’t already have your face and that they need to be in your vicinity to scan it.
... What do you think they even have an app for.
To receive a notification that someone got detected?
To be fair no where does it state this is a phone app and how it actually works.
It probably isn’t but for all I know this is someone sitting in an office with a tablet connected to all kinds of public cameras.
Very heavily implies a mobile device of some sort...if you can't put together the context clues, that's between you and your first grade teacher.
Well if you are going to be pedantic about it.
Because it does read like it’s something mobile.
Because It literally doesn’t. Software on a laptop used in a van checks all boxes. App is short for “application” and not phone exclusive.
It probably isn’t but for all I know this is someone sitting in an office with a tablet connected to all kinds of public cameras.
It probably isn’t because I am just throwing out an example while only half sober.
Just put together the context clues and maybe there was no need to be so needlessly annoying.
This was a lot of excuses for you being wrong.
Like, you could look up the name of the app and not have made up all this bullshit just to justify your speaking from ignorance.
my god you are insufferable.
Your reading comprehension sucks btw my Initial comment is much more general then just this one app. You thinking I need an excuse says enough, i don’t need one to add to the conversation.
You know damn well what “mobile Fortnite” is going to get you as a search result and it’s not like 60% of results aren’t ai written and copying eachother.
If you are such an expert on this software how about you enlighten us.
Have a Happy Halloween now and stop fighting people that are presumably on your side, by which I hope to mean against automised mass surveillance.
I’m sure they have my face already, I have a drivers license. I struggle to see how they could scan my face without being somewhere in roughly the same physical proximity though
Cameras have gotten crazy good, I know the standard looking cameras in my local airport can scan faces because they were very proud of how efficiently they could detect known criminals.
Then they just send a team to arrest, formalities are over before you realise your being apprehended.
Of course an airport is a high security area but cameras are increasingly everywhere.
