Does ice know? Just say you're with another agency

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 5 points 1 week ago

Its not like these people just start their day of from home. This isn't some 9-5 office job.

They go to an office and park their cars in the sane lot, they kit up in a locker room and spend an hour shorting the shit with all their bros, and then talk about who is wearing what subtle things so they can tell Jenkins from Thompson at a distance. They know each other. They hang out at each other's hosts on the weekends. Their kids play together. They know who is suppose to be there that day. They have a game plan as to who does what. They chit chat about music and guns and the weather and cars and TV shows quietly in the downtime.

These people are not you. They can tell when someone else just shows up. They are organized when required, idiosyncratic about key details when needed, and hierarchical. An outsider only gets a pass when a CO tells them the outsider is OK.

another agency

Coordinated within hierarchies

Yes, but inter-agency coordination is notorious.

[-] hansolo@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

I think you meant to finish that the inter-agency is notoriously bad at communicating and informing each other. Yes, that's true, but unless the OP situation plans to identify themselves as the FBI with fake badges, credentials, and possibly even paperwork that the subject's lawyer can corroborate, it's not going to go well.

Might make some good fiction. IRL would make for a lengthy prison term.

Or at best arrested on felony charges.

[-] killingspark@feddit.org 6 points 1 week ago

Which charges? Being masked in public and driving an unmarked truck?

[-] LodeMike@lemmy.today 2 points 1 week ago

Kidnapping. Impersonating law enforcement depending on what you wear.

[-] killingspark@feddit.org 9 points 1 week ago

Have you seen what ice is wearing? That's not a uniform that you can impersonate. That's just random clothes. Not even the color of their masks is the same.

[-] raltoid@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah, as long as you don't try to claim you're law enforcement they can't legally get you on those outfits. You can look up pictures of them, go on evike or another airsoft shop, and you match 99% of their different outfits. At most you need to go elsewhere for matching denim.

Kidnapping and false imprisonment might be on the table though, depending on the other person. There's also conealing/falsefying your identity in a court building, which is iffy in some jurisdictions.

Bring your gun.

I'm sorry, but this is class war. Would you prefer to be enslaved?
