Comment on Using licence plate readers to track ICE

I don’t think your assumptions about police are valid. In my state, police are not allowed to assist federal officials when no state crime is being investigated. While it is targeted at immigration, it has the plausible deniability of being general and a veneer of non-interference and fiscal responsibility. Sanctuary doesn’t mean police will act to help the victims, just that they’re not allowed to help the thugs

That’s what I mean. Sometimes they are there observing the situation from a distance, or just driving by, not doing anything. What I ask is if the city council (or whoever is in charge) could tell the police to document the plate numbers of all the vehicles.
