Absolutely correct. I can name a number of mass arrest situations that have had that exact process follow an incident. It is a travesty to our legal system.
That’s interesting. I’m curious if you know of any intances that were made public. It is certain that government and law enforcement (especially leftist states, agencies, localities) snoop and uses AI algorithms to sift through data against their targets.
So as to avoid the appearance of targeting individuals, they target groups such as Bible believing Christians, conservatives, libertarians, NRA members and gun owners etc. I would think that targeting a law abiding group would be profiling without legitimate reason and against the 14th amendment. The idea is to subject a group to excessive scrutiny and find a greater incidence of “crimes and violations” that are then used to justify profiling the targeted group.
Now that many leftists are being pressured at the Fed level, the leftists are increasingly going to the State (like CA) and the local level to harass their opponents. State sponsored law-fare. This is leftists using the government apparatus as terrorist proxies.
