On a recent immigration raid, a Border Patrol agent wore a pair of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, with the privacy light clearly on signaling he was recording the encounter, which agents are not permitted to do, according to photos and videos of the incident shared with 404 Media.

Previously when 404 Media covered Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) officials’ use of Meta’s Ray-Bans, it wasn’t clear if the officials were using them to record raids because the recording lights were not on in any of the photos seen by 404 Media. In the new material from Charlotte, North Carolina, during the recent wave of immigration enforcement, the recording light is visibly illuminated.

“clearly not permitted to do” - boi there is a whole pretend constitution of shit these nazis are not permitted to do and they are doing it. because they are inhumane terrorists.

Laws without enforcement are just suggestions.

They're inhumane terrorists, and I think it's important to point out they're fucking idiots. DHS dramatically lowered its standards to recruit so many so quickly, and we're dealing with some of America's meanest idiots being given a badge and a gun and told to run wild.

They're stupid even by American law enforcement standards, and that's saying something. People are pointing out that this is against the rules, but I'm not even sure these guys can read the rules.

The South Park episode with ICE recruits is hilarious and probably non-fiction.

"Hey guys it's me, ya boy IceRaider, I'm here with another Snatch and Graaaaaaab. You know you love them, but first, a word from our sponsor Raid Shadow Legends"

Meta definitely holding evidence of crimes on behalf of the feds, how can we get this data?

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 days ago

Some hacker group most likely.

A rogue employee, if you can find one.

On the list of phrases I didn’t expect to be possible in 2025: “Hey Meta, take a video of me about to commit war crimes.”

Technocracy = fascism

This is the intended use.

So the other ones had a drop of black nail polish over the light.

adding to his wank bank no doubt.

Sounds like what these idiots did during Jan6.

All in all it's just another brick in the wall.

It might take a while, but we will get you all.
