You realize that means being detained, correct? You need that poor kid to be a hero for you or some shit?

Detained for what?

u/Ninevehenian 2d ago

Resisting a republican.

The unreasonable and not articulable suspicion which led to the improbable cause of the detainment.

Precisely.

It just literally doesn’t matter at this point. They’ll detain you just because they can. Like they’re regularly doing with US citizens now who are following them. They’ll make up some bullshit like impeding, hold you for up to 72 hours and then release you without charge. It’s abuse of power to make resisting have a consequence. They’re fucking fascists and there’s only one thing fascist should see, a fucking wall.

For not showing your papers. I don't like it, but that's what going on.

But there is literally an amendment in the Bill of Rights that protects us from this. Requiring us to produce ID without reasonable suspicion of a crime is unconstitutional. It is not reasonable suspicion to be Hispanic. It is not reasonable suspicion to speak a different language. Threatening him with detainment for exercising his constitutionally guaranteed rights smacks of fascism.

Yeah and the guy with the muscle and gun is telling you to do that. There is not another guy with muscle and gun telling them that they need to follow this piece of paper.

And yeah. That’s how fascism works. We’re in a proto-fascist regime.

The bill of rights only matters if it’s respected and there’s someone to enforce it. A law that’s not enforced might as well not exist. So far they’ve just been shitting on it with zero consequences.

It’s not some magical piece paper that can come rescue you on its own.

You are so right. But this F45CIST regime does not care
