The true crime is that they didn't cover their tracks well enough

Do your civic duty and go to jury duty. Jury Nullification will be so important in the near future.

"License plate readers are not "big brother" surveillance tools," Berlin said in a statement. "Any tampering with, or theft of an LPR is not only a serious crime, but it also impedes law enforcement and diminishes public safety."

Lisle Police Chief Michael Rodriguez added that Flock cameras "do not replace police officers nor monitor people's daily lives—they simply capture objective information that helps investigators solve crimes."

C'mon people! Stop calling it "surveillance equipment" that "monitors people daily lives" when it really just surveils people in their daily lives!

It is important right the fuck now.

In fact, Jury Nullification itself was recently declared, by Stephen Miller... to be essentially a kind of 'still legal for now' terrorism.

Listen, watch this whole thing.

A couple of times.

Then read the comments.

Stephen Miller seems to think that anyone who engages in Jury Nullification is themself a criminal, functionally an accessory after the fact, to whoever they are acquiting.

Logically, what he said there requires him to presume that he just already knows the correct outcome of every trial, every case, that he is aware of.

The fascism is fully here, right now.

This guy is Mr. NSPM-7, aka, any political ideology left of killing Palestinians for sport, well uh, that's terrorism, now.

I repeat, the fascism is here, now.

People who advocate shaky cameras while screaming stop resisting and beating the shit out of someone already on the ground claim cameras are objective.

Sounds like they're gonna get charged with theft because they didn't destroy the cameras.

If they would have, hypothetically, used low-recoil subsonic rifles with suppressors (basically silent) to blow the cameras apart from a distance, they wouldn't be as much evidence against them. Maybe add an unregistered barrel and casing collector to prevent the bullet being used as evidence. Also, you can shoot from within a vehicle if you get the right angle and cover your plates.
Hypothetically.
