Dems Decide ICE Body Cams Are Badhttps://www.frontpagemag.com/dems-decide-ice-body-cams-are-bad/Dems have been calling for ICE body cameras, but as I noted a few days ago...
Body cameras have far more consistently proven that law enforcement acted correctly than otherwise. There’s a reason that Secretary Noem is happy to go along with the idea and why most police departments realized that body cams were a good thing once the impact became clear. In both the Renee Good and Alex Pretti cases, it was cameras and body cameras that provided the damning evidence that dismantled the ‘bloody shirt’ that the media was waving hysterically after the two radicals attacked law enforcement.
Now, the Dems are already pivoting to warning about the dangers of ICE body cameras…
A push to put body cameras on all ICE agents has Democrats running headlong into a new problem: fear that the technology will provide another avenue for mass surveillance of protesters. Congressional Democratic leaders have made universal use of body cameras one of their prime demands for imposing accountability on Immigration and Customs Enforcement, especially after federal agents fatally shot two American citizens in Minneapolis. But after an outcry from privacy advocates that surveillance tools will allow ICE agents to identify and track protesters, Democrats are also calling for restrictions on how the body cameras can be used.
What a difference a fortnight makes. How Dems could not realize the outcome of their 2015 demands for body would be likely again with ICE eludes me.
