Tell that to every farmer in the US
Every farmer in the U.S. has the right to repair and reprogram their vehicles. They do not however have the right to force John Deer to provide access to their proprietary software.
Not being able to reprogram something, and it being a literal crime, are absolutely different things.
Read some Right to Repair U.S. law. There’s absolutely nothing illegal about reprogramming any device for personal use.
It’s a federal felony now to alter the programming on an electronic you bought as well.
I can’t find any evidence for this; it would also be a nearly unenforceable law if it was actually a thing. What’s going to happen, the device calls home and says help help I’ve been reprogrammed!
Now altering the programming only for re-saling might have some legal issues.
The EPA cannot make regulations… But ICE, an agency that doesn’t even have real law enforcement powers, can just ignore the fourth amendment entirely because the president said so?
Today you learned the difference between creating regulations and enforcing existing regulations, congrats.
If ICE violates your 4th amendment rights shutup and enjoy your multimillion dollar lawsuit. If you aren’t entitled to said lawsuit then your rights weren’t violated.
Where “doing something wrong” is “protesting the actions of ICE.”
Don’t confuse protesting with obstructing federal law enforcement.
I absolutely support anyone’s right to protest any aspect of our government.
It’s not what they’re called that makes the difference
Then stop asserting they’re not police officers like it means something, when you just acknowledged that it doesn’t.
It’s that they swear allegiance to the Constitution but are trampling on the whole Fourth Amendment
Yeah I don’t think they are, and in the situation where it’s borderline it’s due to to aggressive mobs obstructing them from their duties. Situations where there is actual constitutional violations should absolutely be handled in the court, not by flash mobs obstructing then from proceeding.
What is there about that you don’t seem to understand?
The relevance to the point you’re trying to make.
The fact that FBI agents and ICE officers are not called “police officers” (in the traditional local/state sense) has virtually no relevance to their ability to enforce the law. The label itself is largely semantic and does not limit their legal power.
ICE aren’t police
This is kind of a symantical useless statement. They police immigration law, they are officers of immigration law, but for some reason convenient for you, you don’t want them to be able to be called police officers.
If ICE did something wrong it doesn’t legitimize the protestors to follow that up by also doing something wrong.
It may legitimize it in your eyes, but not the eyes of the law.
And cut out the name calling, there’s no way you can be seriously think im a boot licker while also trying to have a serious conversation with me… Unless you’re just ridiculous.
How is it a bad comparison? If one person in a car accident gets a scraped toe, and another one gets their leg cut off; the person with the amputated leg absolutely has the right to tell the other one to quit their bitching.
Nope. Didn’t say any of that.
Did I say ICE were police officers? No I did not.
However police officers vs. Federal law enforcement officer - Not much difference IMO.
Ice polices immigration law, and they’re officers of immigration law; but somehow they’re not police officers… some symantical BS.
Absolure brain rot from the left.
Nothing about the constitution enables the public to obstruct the duties of a police officer.
Infact The Supreme Court has already ruled on this.
Cox v. Louisiana (1965), 379 U.S. 536
Protestors blocked access to a courthouse and were arrested. The Supreme Court upheld the arrests.
If you want to protest the police you can do that. But you cannot protest the police by stalking and then spontaneously inhibiting their abilities to perform their job.
What about this is lawful protest? Go prevent a police officer from fueling his police vehicle and see how fast you go to jail for obstruction.
The ten thousand dead in the past month in Iran would love some.of that Minneapolis prelivedged soap opera style violence.
Sounds like one of those laws that’s never applied by itself, but instead is always sprinkled in on top of another more well defined and detectable crime. In the case or CDs it would have been against piracy groups who not only cracked CDs, but also distributed.
Without the distribution, that law would have never seen enforcement.
We could also argue that cracking software protections isn’t reprogramming, it’s a precursor to do so and isnt always necessary to reprogram a device. Someone could absolutely pop the computer out of a Samsung smart refrigerator and replace it with a Arduino and reprogram the device, which for personal use is legally bulletproof.
