While we’re getting rid of the first amendment maybe we should also get rid of the fourth and fifth amendment too since they make law enforcement harder? I’m sure cops in North Korea have a much easier and safer job.

So are you saying that the first amendment should protect government insiders leaking personal employee info to the public for the purposes of endangering those government employees, and to cause harm to their families? based on subjective opinions on whether the people think the actions of said employees are just or unjust?

That's wild if so. That's quite the precedent to set.

Note: I don't support ice or their actions. nor do i support vigilante justice.

    Government employee names are public information. What it sounds like is you want to keep that information secret, and maintain a literal secret police.

    It is not surprising that people don't agree with you.

    Not sure what you are talking about. License plate information that is plainly visible is not “personal employee info”.

    Isn't this also subjective and depends on the information leaked.

Can't argue with their 110% conviction rate, North Korean tactics work.

4th amendment???! Osama killed that decades ago… they may as well take it off the books… Once we were OK having our junks touched to go from here to there the 4A effectively ceased to exist.

You only have rights you exercise. Don't let the cops trample on your rights. Though... this does seem to work better for white, rich, older dudes than for other people.

    I’m reminded of (I think) people in Shanghai complaining that their posts about covid lockdowns were censored, saying “we have free speech”. And if you believe in universal rights, they’re right. They do.

    The question is whether the government will respect and protect those rights or not.
