Oh wow, who could have foreseen the Gestapo would undermine public safety? Anyone with 3 functioning braincells?
- If you see something say something. Ice is everywhere
  
  Record the interaction and ask for badge numbers and names. Identify people individually if you can, psychology people say that people are more aware of their consequences of you remind them of themselves.
- Snoop got a nail gun.
In some states a lot of these local police departments employ a lot of latinos...
I suspect some departments are figuring out that they don't want ICE deporting their own officers.
How do I find out if my local police signed an agreement?

  Ah, a list that certainly couldn't possibly be abused.
Undermines safety? How about the US Constitution?
if the police is saying that you're a danger for the public, it must be real bad!
