If you're in public you can be filmed. Idk man. If "law enforcement" has to hide their identities, then maybe they are doing something they know they shouldn't be doing. The whole point of a uniform and badge is so that people can identify them as well as hold them accountable. If they wear plain clothes and hide their identities, then people will think they are a criminal/abductor and might react as such.
I’ve been wondering if this is already happening.
If, in the US, a bunch of masked guys not wearing any identifying badge or uniforms jump out of an unmarked van to abduct people, those guys are going to get shot at some point.
It seems like that would be a logical outcome. I'm not in the states, but if somebody rolls up trying to snatch a neighbor off the street, and they're saying they're the police but they don't look like police and have no ID, I'm assuming they are criminals
this is my guess to as why they do their kidnappings at government buildings, jobsites, and schools. places people arent allowed to be armed. they do grab people off the streets, but as far as the news has shown, places trumps has declared 'war zones' have been cities with restrictive gun rights. cali and NY are known as places its hard to own guns. in DC i believe they are banned.
