Federal agents observed that Schott had made an overnight trip from Houston to Carrizo Springs, Texas, and back, court records show. They knew he stayed overnight in a hotel about 80 miles (129 kilometers) from the U.S.-Mexico border. They knew that in the morning Schott met a female colleague there before they drove together to a business meeting.
That’s all it takes to get pulled over and investigated for drug trafficking WTF. This is so wrong. Can’t even drive in your own damn country
“The beautiful thing about the Texas Traffic Code is there’s thousands of things you can stop a vehicle for,” said Joel Babb, the sheriff’s deputy who stopped Schott’s car
Fuck everything about Texas.
Desert shit hole
Happened to me once outside San Angelo. Noticed the car behind turn their headlights off for a second, then they flipped their red and blues on. I was pulled over because my license plate lights were out, but I'm pretty sure they just wanted to see who was driving the shitty car with out of state plates through their town. No ticket, no warning, didn't ask to search the car, just annoyingly nosey.
Why is "suspicious" quoted. Suspicious "travel patterns" == suspicious skin colors.
Also any kind of activity other than merely going back and forth to work and suggests you might be socially connected
Or traveling over certain routes known to lead to abortion providers.
Flock drones and cameras need to be destroyed.
The land of the surveillanced and the home of the fascists
Yes but they aren’t going to ban them. In fact they will do the opposite and get more
Cool. They are incredibly vulnerable. Sounds like we need to demonstrate that hijacked tools can be used against those in power.
Preferably a la Luigi
Sounds great. Too bad nothing like that will ever happen
Be the change you want to see in the world
I’m mid-way through the emigration process. I look forward to unsubscribing from US news. Byyyeeeeee
So free travel isn't a thing anymore?
Hmm. What other historical examples of this are there and how did that turn out?
You have the right to remain silent. Use it.
Yet another thing that's straight out of dystopian fiction to the point that it wouldn't surprise me if that's where they got the idea.
The plots of ALL such movies, shows, and books must be kept away from cops and billionaires, lest they inevitably find it inspirational and copy it.
